Yeh I was pretty stoked when onzedge tosse me his keys after the photo shoot to drive a couple of miles of surface streets. I't s not often to get see and feel the different setup's. His Berk CBE def had the hp gain over my Nismo CBE and the short shifter is on my next mod list. The difference in sways Stillen/Hotchkis, could not really tell going straight line I was more interested in the DD driveability and they are the same contrary to what I read on this forum 1.5 yrs ago when deciding which to go with..... Michelins are smooth and quite, straight line bumps do not jarr the car because of the tighter sways...which I was surprised. My Stillens are set to stiff. Do not get to wring it out and he probably will not let me go there with his car...maybe one of these I can ride copilot while Colin drives mine for a comparo, since he has driven his dad's probably many times.

As far as camber and toe, I tested some experimental setting from Mr Kenchan and RCZ but....reverted back to the low side of OEM settings...due to the jarring on every bumb...as in toe thrown out from too close to zero on the toe...It probably has something to do with my spacers also 20/25 on 265/285 tires RE11's....dunno...Not experienced enough in that dept to give good feedback. I can say running on the light side of OEM camber/toe is perfect for me.

Long winded....sorry.

Motoring to see J Edgar this morning. Then the normal weekly grocery shopping and then football and a nap.

Man I miss the Strand at Manhattan Beach, they have redone it since I was there. Favorite for the beach cruiser and B&B watching.

Happy Sunday to all!

zforce-

sounds like you guys had a lot of fun.

my roads are too straight to really call for swaybar change unless i did something else with the suspension setup.

An Asian Canuck? I had a feeling (but only because of how soon youre gearing up for winter). Do you speak French too?

Today? While going on a leisurely drive to the local dvd rental kiosk, I plugged the aux cable into my iPhone, tuned in some Shiny Toy Guns and before you know it I was turning VDC off. At the next lonely light it was due time (apparently) to launch at 4k, which immediately led to 5, 6, 7 AND 8k RPMs. Ahhh, but the rear end was bucking, the tires were cold, the (SHIFT NOW) indicator was blinkin' and I was well on my way to 70mph in no time!

Shoulda known better than to go with Shiny Toy Guns....it happens to me every time!

(*sigh*)

I love my Z!
