I found a dent on the right rear corner of the bumper. I've got a thread going in Interior/Exterior. And so far the advice is paintless dent repair. So I'm looking for shop advice. I'm in Glendale Heights/Carol Stream, but willing to go just about anywhere for a quality job.

Sorry it snowed today everyone... i put my summer tires on, Saturday.

:wtf2:

:gtfo2: :icon23: :mad:

Here I was thinking it was because I took mine out of storage :D

We got 3 1/2 inches (via my handy ruler) in Aurora

And it took out most of the cities network :shakes head:

:eekdance::eekdance: be careful out there.

I'm glad I didn't yet.
I'm thinking Schaumburg is around 5/6 right about now. :ugh2:

Been out of forums for a longtime now and was wondering anyone planning do a meet around may or June? My Z is hibernating now. Im located in the NW side chicago

Meets should start popping up all over the place once the snow stops and stays gone. Only a few of us drive our cars year round.

:driving:

:happydance:

:hello: Once April starts I'll probably work on a getting a season opener going. By May car season will be in full swing. :tup:

:iagree:

:rolleyes:

i have 410 miles on the viper already!

Damn, you must have scuffed the bottom of the tires!! :eek::eek:

new mods done to my Z..Should be back in Chicago from deployment in April or may..hope to see some meets while i'm home

Who is interest in a Furious 7 meet this Saturday?

Any thoughts on upgrading the Rear diff to a Quaife from the VLSD?

Should be less than $2k all in.
- Is the stock VLSD worth anything?

I don't recall driving (aggressively) in a car with a "real" rear diff ever.

Discuss...

I also want to do this, but can't really offer any additional information from a 370z standpoint.

I can say that one of my buddy's dad had a 240sx with an RB swap and a Quaife rear diff and that thing was awesome.

I would say it would be a big improvement both on and off the track. Also, upgrading the bushings to solid or maybe poly since you dd. I don't think the stock VLSD is worth much, but I'm sure someone who tracks often may want to take if off your hands. I would maybe hold on to it and swap it back in when you want to sell the car.

Furious 7 meet:

Saturday April 4th
Movie time is 9:50 PM
AMC Loews Streets of Woodfield, Schaumburg

Premeet location for drinks/food is TBA in surround area
6PM-8PM

^^damn. I saw this a little to late.
By the way. First time I get pulled over in the Z.
Tiny burb called Stone Park on Mannheim Rd.
Early morning, with flow of traffic, but got lit up anyways.
He tells me right away; the speed limit is 30, you have illegal tint, and no front plate.
No ticket, but thats another story. Careful around that area.

Glad you didn't get a ticket. To be honest, I have only heard of Chicago and a handful of villages (mostly Elk Grove Village) giving people trouble for tints or plates.

What's your tint setup? He can't give you a ticket for tint without measuring it first since you're allowed to have 35% all the way around (minus the windshield) or as dark as you want in the back with nothing on the sides or front.

I've been pulled over for no front plate twice in two different cars, but never given a ticket. It seems like most cops just use it to remind you they are the one in power and could be mean, but they're going to be merciful.

I've had the meter maid give me a ticket in the city for "not displaying front plate properly." It was in the from windshield at the time; bought the front license plate bracket shortly after. Never got hassled for tints in the rear and sides when I got pulled over by the city cops or state troopers though.

800 miles on the Viper already. Almost as many as I put on the Z last year lol

I got 20% all around. No, he never did bother to measure my tint.
I really like how my 20% looks....I'll take my chances with tints and no front plates.
I wonder if the color of my Z has anything to do with being pulled over.

If I had to do it over again I would do 20% on the hatch.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd never drink alcohol.

Oh, and i would have ducked that one time i really smacked my head.

:icon18:

Me, I would have never started all this fitness stuff that's taking away from my car time. Although, I'd probably be at least 50lbs heavier! :icon18::icon18:

I never started my fitness regimen... so technically... i'm following it?

lol :bowrofl:

nice responses gentlemen :tup:

Putting insurance back on the Z tomorrow. Hopefully I can go pick her up this weekend.

Need to also order oil as apparently I'm all out :ugh2:
