I live in Apple Valley, haven't seen that one around. This means we need to meet up and cruise!

SmoothZ · 05-14-2013, 07:24 PM

WTH! You live in AV, too? I'm on Garden View near Westview Elementary. I see Z's drive by all the time. Alas, no one wants to stop and say hello.

Was starting to feel some vibration from the rear/passenger wheel yesterday so I took it into the EP Tires Plus where I bought them (close to work). Turns are there are two significant bulges on the inner sidewall. Of course the tire sizes are not easily accessible so they are being shipped in from Chicago and won't make it here until next Monday.

Anyway, just thought I'd vent a little and see if you guys have had this happen to your tires before?

I live on Pilot Knob and 170th.

That sucks man. Is it your DD? Being lowered without using toe bolts, you think you could have hit a bump and the tire hit some suspension component? (not an expert here) What size tire are you running out back?

cgust · 05-14-2013, 08:51 PM

It is my DD but my gf is currently in India so I'm going to use her car until Monday. A few weeks ago when we got the cold snap this particular tire lost all pressure. It sat flat for a few hours until I got a small air compressor that plugs into the car. This must have had something to do with it. Its strange though that it would takes weeks to develop. I'm running 285/30/20s.

Seeing that exhaust competition thread really makes me want an exhaust bad! Has anyone seen this or ever gone to past events? I just stumbled upon it on Facebook (actually I follow Jennifer Dao on FB because she is gorgeous and she happens to do a lot of car shows) and wasn't sure if this is big or not. Thoughts?

Mai-z · 05-21-2013, 08:44 PM

Dude I'm down to go. I mean why not?

SmoothZ · 05-22-2013, 07:04 PM

LOL there was an exhaust comp at Zdayz for best and worst sounding one. I really wish I could have been part of that. I'm looking into a new system now. The trip made me realize the drone is too much for me.

SmoothZ · 05-22-2013, 07:08 PM

BTW, my Z club is getting together this Friday at 7pm for a meet and greet at the Sonic in Bloomington on American Blvd. Be there or be square. I really would like to meet some of you guys and gals. I already know a few of you.

SmoothZ · 05-22-2013, 07:40 PM

I'm in love...

erkthejerk73 · 05-22-2013, 07:47 PM

SmoothZ · 05-22-2013, 07:58 PM

You still have yours?

homeryansta · 05-22-2013, 11:49 PM

any of you want clazzios? I have a set of red stitching that I might be letting go of pending sale of my car tomorrow. I was thinking 200 firm.

Mai-z · 05-23-2013, 11:32 AM
