Thanks for props everyone. Just mounted the front set. The rears will come in tomorrow, Walmart has the rims already and will pick them up to get mounted Wednesday. Price was about same everywhere and Walmart was $2 cheaper and only charge $10 for road hazard protection. Love that Cover All wheel dressing spray.

took, what felt like a couple lbs off the wheels! Mutekis to these new Work Lugs

ChopsZ · 07-18-2018, 01:18 PM

Almost forgot, also going out tonight to pick up a set of slightly used BC coilovers (BR series) for a great price. Gonna finally get this car sitting and riding just the way I want it to.

Drove by Wally World to pick up new tires mounted on the rims but, have not come in yet. They were due yesterday but looked up FedEx tracking and show delivery tomorrow Thursday. Hope to get them tomorrow or again, will have to wait another day till Friday.

You're a brave man for letting Walmart touch your wheels. Good luck!

Tires came in today, and got them installed. Watched like a hawk while they installed them and not a single scratch was done to the rims. Damn, they are wide and agressive looking. Love them. Here is a pix now of all rims installed. Unfortunately, the tpms sensors do not match my 2010 model and the light stays on. Will look for a set on ebay. If someone knows the OEM part number for mine, please post.

Ian B

Thx JarBlue for tires and rims.

Thanks ghostvette, is that the price for 1 tpms or set of 4. Hard to tell. Let me go out and get build date for correct one.

Ian B

Edit, my build date is 06/10

Ian, before you buy new ones, you might want to just have them reprogrammed. That may be all you need.

I can barely remember when my car looked like that.

Yesterday...installed this pristine looking Beluga axle-back exhaust. Flawless fit and finish. Better welds than some of the Autech Nismo exhaust. Sounds amazing! Very deep idle and insane, beast-like sound at throttle. I drove around for 2 hours with the windows down just to enjoy it. It is quite a bit louder than the nismo exhaust, didn't notice any drone, but if there was any, with the windows closed, it wouldn't be noticeable. Before and after link below. Definitely got my 269.00 worth!

LOL, I put my TPMS sensors on rim bands. It has been an adventure. Keeping the back ones on the bands has been a challenge.

ChopsZ · 07-19-2018, 11:54 PM

Met up with my oldest brother up at the hospital to visit our father (which will hopefully be getting released tomorrow).

Anyway, he didn't know about my new "flame/pop" tune on the Z, and on the way home he was following me in his Fiat 500 Abarth. After we got going down the road for a bit, I let the fireworks start. A bunch of pops, burbles and bangs, and I also saw several bright yellow flashes, and one large steady yellow glow on the right side of my rear window that lasted a good 5 seconds or so!

Almost immediately after, my phone is going off and it's him calling me. He immediately started asking me if my car was alright and was afraid it was going to catch on fire! He was wanting me to pull over! LOL

After I calmed him down and told him it was a tune I put on the car, then he thought it was cool and wanted to see and hear more. Haha He was having a blast, and the funny part was I could hear my exhaust coming through my stereo from his phone in his car! He got along side my rear bumper at one point and said there were a couple of times that the flames were nearly two feet long and would linger for several seconds at a time.

So that's that. Hehe
