My wife absolutely hates driving through Kansas. She bitches about it so much that I have pledged to bury her in Kansas! I've tried to convince her that it will be more convenient for friends and relatives to visit her there as the geographic center of the lower 48 is in Kansas. I've promised to pick a spot near there for her

My wifey hates Kansas too.

Sooooo back to work ( reality) on Monday ?

Thank you sir! And as for reality... checked my email last night and my work wants to do a pre-interview interview today for an internal position I applied for... so I have to rapidly shift my brain int work-gear.

Just ordered Trackspec Hood vents!

I have mostly completed the install of the Z1 fog light tonight. I just got too tired out in the heat, so it was better to just shower and complete the job tomorrow.

The running light and reverse light are connected. I just need to run the wires for the "brake" light, which will be used more as a traditional fog light. I have a on-off-on switch that will have one setting for static and another for a constant flash)

On top of that, I was able to verify my multi-meter is working. I got some sort of resistance measurement for the "passenger off" light that had the harness yanked off. I'll took one of the 100 resistors I bought for the new seat install and soldered it onto some wire so I can connect it tomorrow. Hopefully that will allow the SRS system to think the notification light is present.

How? Lolol i had a few photo tolls on my zdayz trip and didnt get anything. Bridge toll. Road toll.

I forgot to pull out my transponder for a 407 drive during rushhour... 6 dollet toll. 5 admin fee. 3 for cameta fee + tax. Ended up paying like shy of 16 bucks. Saved me 30 solid minutes though

I bought a Zenclosure box with an Image Dynamics IDQ 10 sub this weekend. Tossed it in the parts bin with everything else lol

The stealer ship told me I'm halfway through the thread life. I only have a little over 6,250 miles on my 370 Z from the day we got. Not a great day...

12.5k isnt terrible for oem rears. Maybe some all seasons may be more apt for your ride, budget and expectations.

Rusty · 08-13-2019, 07:06 AM

I get about 10,000 out of my rears. Sometimes a lot less if I do a lot of trackdays.

I'll probably switch to all seasons because summer only tires SUCK in the rain...

Too many times this season I've been caught in sudden downpours from 'pop-up' thunderstorms. The car is squirrelly as hell in that kind of stuff...

I have never had a problem. Use it as a practice season for making your inputs smoother.
