i currently use a smaller 60gallon bin but only use it as a stationary trash can in the corner of my garage. need room to QD my cars with garage door closed. faaak!

Mr.kenchan, I feel you my friend, we started doing this kind of stuff in Toronto couple years ago, and alternate week with recycle bin and garbage, thus the garbage could stay inside the garage or whatever for two weeks!! Yup, sucks...

Hey Agent Fire, I am now curious are you a Triple ID Agent driving a 1950 VW from somewhere trying to steal the recipes from Agent kenchan to make Texax style Charboilburger-Sushi (yup, with sushi-rice in it)!!!!

LOL

BTW, have you check Road&Track website? They did a comparo between the ZL1 and the 2012 GTR, and they praise the ZL1 quite a bit!!!

Have a nice WED everyone. LOL

:tup: :tup:

I'll check it out. :tup: As for my true identity all I'll say is kanichi wa egg fu yung

Kewl vids. Makes me want to get my ZL1 even more. I'm not sure the compare was fair. Cold weather, all wheel drive and $40,000 differance. Hmmm :stirthepot:

Ok, here is the deal. I have those exact rotors and am quite happy with them.

However, they have a small issue that is known as the "StopTech Rust Ring". Before you install them, go buy some high temperature clear (or colored if you want) paint. The ring develops between the hub and where the pads make contact and will appear very quickly after you start running them.

Anyway, mask off the hub and rotor surface, leaving about 1/2 to 3/4 " of the rotor exposed near the hub. Get it? I hope I am explaining this well enough. Then spray a couple of coats of the high temp paint. Do not worry about overlapping the paint a little on the pad contact area on the rotor as it will come off with a few brake applications.

I hope that this helps.

:tiphat: No problemo.

Mr. onzedge, are you referring to the concave ring around the hub? If so, the rusty rotor issue affects the Z1 rotors too.

I've got rust there. :ugh2:

Here is a picture (sorry it is a cra**y low res droid shot) before I sanded the rings off and applied clear high temp paint.
