Say how are you hooking up your fog light? On w/ brakes..on all the time, switch for on/off? I've always wanted to know how to get these to blink while braking and dim otherwise.

I'm thinking of trying this method to hook it up.

In the 190 range -- not a great deal.

happytheman 01-17-2012 10:42 PM

Still fun tho! :)

In many ways it is more fun to drive than the 370 -- less civilized, easier to toss about, tighter steering, instant throtlle response, sets off car alarms, etc.

Went to the Koni website to check out the coilover set up for our car. I did a search for 2009 model and it said that there is nothing available for my car. Did a search for the 2011 model (no changes that I'm aware of) and they have the koni yellows available. Are there any differences in the two models that I should be aware of before ordering?

There should be no difference.

I just motored on over to the gym, had a nice drive on the empty streets.

Gym is empty too, I guess resolutions are being broken now :roflpuke2:

I have been eyeing these up all night. I saw that on Koni's site they dont list the 09, which I also have. Im not too worried though, should be fine. I really wish someone would do a group buy on these to save me a few bucks cause I know Im gonna pop on these.

Drove by another 370 on my way home from work today. Was looking at it thinking that's a nice looking car, hey I'm sitting in one too! Sitting in it and mostly seeing it from the inside usually, you forget sometimes, lol. Every time I wash it, though, I want to take pics then realize this is how it looks every time.

memorylasts 01-18-2012 12:04 AM

Drove it! it has been a couple days....

Can I do anything to make this situation better? i.e. slaloming to heat up the tires or is it just like yesterday slow down, turn harder where the sun is beating down on the black top, and be ready for the unexpected.

Thanks

i just keep the psi on the higher side around 37.5psi and drive normally. doing slaloms too quickly can put you in a spin if you go too fast. :D

Yeah, I am back. I drove the 370 today for the first time in a week and a half -- just like riding a bike. I also put a few shots up in the DSLR thread.

TheGreatOne 01-18-2012 12:20 PM

I miss posting in this thread while the car is still in storage :( lol

I guess in 2 weeks I will post the progress of me blacking out my headlights, possibly adding some CF to it also. Will feel really nice to do something Z related :)

mrcoolguyface 01-18-2012 12:26 PM

:tup: hehe i know how that goes...

i think my younger kid learned his first profanity from daycare... 'fukyou' he said. but his pronuncation isnt that great so noone (but dad) can tell...

it sounds like a sneeze. i told him you sneeze "Aaachooo!" in english. try it. he looked at me confused. so that just confirmed that's not wat he heard the bigger kids at the gym saying to each other. :shakes head:

so i let his mom know to be on the look out for the f-bomb... :ugh2: :icon17: :crying:
