If I already have CBE and HFC the HPS with K&N won't need a tune? Since most people recommend a tune with CBE HFC and G3's...

Or no since the MAF sensor isn't changing location.

Most people overestimate the need for a tune. The g3s lean you out a bit, but plenty of people run them with no issues.
The biggest thing to pay attention to is how your car is running. It may be worth doing a dyno run with a/f reading ($50-80) just to check, but post-Maf tubes shouldn't make much of a difference.

wow, that's a nice deal on the CPL and lens.

haha... yes, I think in my post I mentioned I was able to park in the front spots at both locations (sushi restaurant and movie). So I take the front first spot, then inch over close to/on the line. As long as I take the front first spot, I don't impinge on someone else's spot. But yes, no dings for me. That's another big no no.

No Z for me today. Had to take the Odyssey to the body shop today. I come home last night, and my wife says to me, "Honey, I think you are going to be mad at me...." The minute I hear that, I start thinking what did she do to MY Z...... luckily, it wasn't the Z, but the Odyssey had a scraped passenger mirror from her "maneuvering" in the work parking ramp. Sigh... I should have taken a pic. So, I had to get it repainted today. My wife and her driving.... eeeeeeeeeeeek.

So guys, if your wives/gf's ever say those magic words, "I think you are going to be mad at me.". ALWAYS assume the worst....

On to better topics, I found this pic of my Z taken a few weeks ago, and forgot all about it. So looking at my Z last night and tinkering around in it plus playing with her pics, made me feel better about that Odyssey mishap...

G2Z- yah, usually front spots are where dings occur so i was a bit

but heck you know wat you're doing so i trust it's safe.

for me i have PDR training and tools so it's not a huge deal to get dings but it's better not to have one in the first place.

sorry to hear about your van.

hope it's a quick fix. at least it wasn't your Z! wheew... worst ones are 'honey i backed into your Z' threads.

Let me guess->
Laparoscopic surgery for Endometriosis.

Hope everything goes okay and I was wrong and she is actually getting Breast implants.

Yeah PDR can only do so much.... if the dent took some paint with it? or if you can't buff it out? eeeek... that's a repaint.

Spohn, best of luck.

ZeeingAround · 08-02-2011, 10:01 AM

FromG2Z,

Did you do a HDR on the photos?

yep, this is why i have a HondaFit to use for restaurants and malls.

on that car i can careless if i get hit (wife already let the Fit eat a tire stop on the bottom of the front bumper, yay!

) and it's a narrow car so it seems nearly impossible to get dinged unless one was intentionally hitting the car on purpose.

No sir... that's just a basic edit in NX2. Made sure the exposure was up to par. I don't have the fancy stuff that Beach has where you can filter certain sections.

I think the key is having a great shot to start out with... and I think my D60 does it well.

Yeah I have a Honda Civic for those duties, but I still take the Z with me when I go on a date with the wifey.... Friday nights usually. Otherwise, she never gets to ride in it. So I figure, it's worth the risk to take the wife out in it. So much fun. She loves riding in it. Besides, she's the one who "let" me buy it.... must take her in it

I just have to be very smart and careful about where I drive/park it. The clear bra REALLY helps lower my tension and worry and apprehension hehe....

No. She's already had a reduction years ago. They were super hugh then. No pics.
