Making a right turn into my community I "almost" got rear ended by a genius texan driver. It just doesn't stop with this car. Its the only thing I hate about it.

Went for a test drive on my HKS coilovers and DW tires. Results were very good.

drove mine

Drove over to my buddy's place and we installed my z1 25 row oil cooler. he didn't have the right sized tool to do the spacers though. We ended up with 4 push pins which I cannot find the holes for, I hope this won't affect anything.

Anyhow, if anyone in the OC knows a good inexpensiv
e place to do my spacers (extended studs), let me know as I have no tools or garage and my friend lives pretty far.

I was thinking I'd just Plasti-Dip the whole car.
Seriously, I've decided I'm not driving it to NJ anymore. The last time I went there, a truck kicked up a chunk of tyre that bounced off my hood, taking a chunk of paint with it.

It was a freak accident doing like 20 mph, it happened in split second. The freaking SUV in the right lane impacted the car in front of him. I'm in the left lane, the traffic is slow and it seems that when he impact the car in front of him his SUV slighty jump to my lane as I was passing and I clipped his rear driver bumper with my front passenger side.

Of course the SUV suffered minor damage to the bumper and my car got the worst of it. I didn't expected that much damage at that speed. I have been so pissed that I haven't want to talk about it.

What the heck? :eek: I go out of town for a couple of days and.... Very sorry to hear, Jose. Is is going to be done in time for the show?

I won't be there. We planned our entire fall around Ztoberfest... and they f'n changed the date two weeks after we paid for our WV trip. I am still pissed about that. :shakes head:

No!



Yes.... :shakes head:

They got scratched the second I put them on. I was just tired of dealing with the thin *** weds coatings so I'm doing something about it. Pics coming soon.

:tup:

That sucks. :( sorry to hear. Wishing you a speedy repair.

The paint on the weds is about as good as it gets though. Same thing happens to other wheels too unless you use special sockets or wrap your socket with masking tape where you leverage the bore hole. I just give it 3-4 layers of tape if my protective sockets are in use on another ratchet. No scratches. :D. Another reason why I usually roll in my wheels loose than bring the car to the tire store (unless tirerack cause they know how to handle wheels not to scuff them).

I always wrap my socket with painter's tape before I get it near my wheeld.

NOPE, I'm going to miss the Car Show and Fall Foilage Cruise. :mad:

Russ we will talk more about it later, I'm still f'nking pissed about it.

Good morning mr.onzedge. :D

I have a set of these... but masking tape works good too. :)

Good morning, Mr. Kenchan. :tiphat:

Those are very nice sockets.

No Z action today, again. Spending today and tomorrow with Microsoft folks and then heading to San Diego/Coronado for goofing off and a convention. I am going to Coronado where I spent Jr High and High School years -- for the first time in many years. Look for pics in the DSLR thread next week.

True... although the rear 10.5 +15 wheel does have an extremely sunk face which makes it harder than most wheels to bolt lugs on. The coating is great for resisting dust and stains, but I could chip it off with my fingernail.

Oh well, hopefully won't have much of an issue from now on.

sounds like fun. :tup: I too would like to visit areas I grew up in. :)

I have the same rear wheels as you with the the RR face. No issue on mine. Hope your new paint goes unscuffed. :)

I understand! Hang in there pal. Glad you are ok and it wasn't worse!

:iagree:

Painted my fob last night.

No Z action today. Need to wash my G later on tonight. Got leaves and worms caught in the wheel well
Ewww.

Trying to find someone more local to give my car a alignment. Out of 8 shops no one will touch it. Guess I'll have to just drive 70 miles one way back to where it originally was done.

Public schools are off today. That means no traffic. This means I can drive the Z to work and enjoy my commute.

Noticed this as well today, too bad I was in the Prius :(

:tup:

Yeah, any other day and I would be in the Altima. Nothing like going down an empty road screaming POWAAAAH!!! like Jeremy Clarkson. :rofl2:

I'm jealous :tup:

huh... my kids went to school today. :confused:

anyway :tup: for light traffic. :D

Tell your Anti-Semitic school district to be more tolerant of other cultures' calendars! :tiphat:

yah should be like we honor all cultures and holidays, even ones we dont give a shitt for. :icon17: lol

:tiphat:

hello, mr.onzedge. are you visiting your old town today? :D

Mr. Kenchan -- still with Microsoft today. Travel begins Saturday evening.

So guys what anti-American holoday is it in Cali? Maybe surf boards invented 200 years ago? LOL Or maybe it is just the kids are already tired of school? Cali sick day?

ahh i see. :tup:



lol... Surfboard Day sounds good. i'll take a day off and i dont even surf. :tup: just come up with silly holidays and i'll honor all of them. it's like hallmark holidays. they just rake in $ for silly days they make up.

Ken tomorrow is Asian American Day in Penn. Celebrate in style.

Alchemy why bash the ragstain :icon14: I doubt they fall right off cause they duct tape them on, you know how well that sticks?:bowrofl: I'm soo not a Ford guy. I'd rather push my Titan pulling my Z uphill for 5 miles with the parking brakes on than buy a F-word.

Oil filter strap wrench and channel locks FTMFW!!:rofl2:
