oh yah, nick is a insurance guy so probably SUPER busy. and have to hear DMV-customer-types cry/bitch all day long of their sad stories while making their claims. talking about all sorts of tangents and not to the point of what needs to be fixed, etc.

that would drive one insane. i think best to let mechanic do it.

I'll make sure I do my Post MAF tubes and drop-ins myself I swear! haha

ok, the fog light can be pretty involved if wired up correctly to a switch inside the cabin and not tapped to the taillamp.

the shift knob can be very intimidating to remove stock knob if yours is stubborn like how mine was....

I have a fog light and wire harness with the switch that goes between the seat heater switches. Both of these sit in their boxes in my garage because I am working up the gumption to perform the installation. Maybe this wekeend. Maybe not.

sounds good. i bought 3 generic oem-looking rocker switches a member here found online.

i wired one to my DVD player as its bypass switch, one to the rear fog lamp, and one to interior lighting. actually the interior lighting i dont even use since i dont motor my Z at night, but it's there as a placeholder for future options... like missile launcher/machine gun/popcorn/shiatsu massage/microwave/coffee pot, etc.

I like the missle launcher option best.

Ken, those Weds are begging for a drop on Swifts

although Im pretty sure I remember you saying you dont wanna drop. Buuuut they are JDM

This about sums it up, Swifts are amazing for springs. My favorite part is how they changed the balance: so much more neutral and quicker turn in, especially when paired with sway bars.

I know I have yet to get my sways. Not sure what Im going with yet. What did you go w??? Driving impressions???

Edit..just saw your sig. How you like the Stillens?? Im thinkin either Hotchkiss, though I hear they may be stiff for street use or Whiteline.

And I am sort of intimidated by the shift knob, but I have the correct tools and some extra hands to help..
