Solar,

A lot of guys on the forum are running Hankooks as alternatives to the stock tires. They have great reviews, only negative I've heard is a slightly softer sidewall that may be minimally felt on aggressive turning.

yah, but i thought you were only thinking about plasti dip because you wanted to be under your fiance's save for house radar?

i highly recommend the fujimura rear CF diffuser. that's wat im running.

Housing should stay flat for a while, The rates will stay historically low for a while, and we will get a notice when the FEDS plan to move on rates.

Any one else, get ready. Time flies.. MONEY MANAGEMENT is the foundation to a financially secure life...You CANNOT build a portfolio with debt on your head...Only a First fixed vanilla Mortgage that you can deduct is king.

After Inflation and deductions, a 4.5% fixed loan is about 3% approx..then when rates go up and are like 1990's at double digits..you will be in the cat bird seat..

Good luck to all my new Z buds...Watch out when you talk money...Mini Vinnie Diesel gets excited...

" I live my life, one Dividend at a time "..

Hey man, you're alright! haha

talking Money does the same thing to me lol

Snapped back in the front Sport spoiler that the previous owner hit..

All is good for now. It snapped back in.

Seems the previous owner had some fun with the summer tires...

I will be ready for Tires in the fall, and probably Pads too...

Still raining...

One to check out that I am running is the TOYO T1S they grip and feel like PS2's IMHO. The V12's are squishy in comparison. My 2c.

I should bring a can of plastidip to the next Z meet and make someone there who knows what they're doing do it.. lmao

I'll be sure to check out those Toyo's as well. Won't need new tires anytime soon at the rate I drive my Z.. haha

kenchan · 03-01-2012, 02:23 PM

mr.alcheng- is there anyone other than fujimura that makes axle backs? i think the only other option was the unimpressive HKS muffler and some cheezy pipe + exhaust tips and hanger approach.

super cheap = washer mod. lol

Nick911sc · 03-01-2012, 02:29 PM

It would be a great thread to direct people to. Especially when 16 year olds who don't have jobs come on the forum talking about purchasing the Z for their first car and get mad when we tell them not to lol

Yes, we will start one...I will preface with we are not discussing what to buy or do..NOPE...

But I have proven the theory over time. It will help us all...Buy more toys...Please the wife....retire early hopefully....lead a less stressful life, hope fully.

Amen to that man

That new thread idea is good! We had an investing thread before too but it fell through.

Well, i am old, a dork, and lets say, i wish i had even started sooner...

We will try...And many will read and not comment...And we will get real pro's chiming in...

If it don't fly, no biggie..Sometimes talking money is like talking politics or religion..Gotta walk softly grasshopper...

Oh man, i was doing Kwai chan Kane... Of Kung Fu days....then i remembered how david Carradine went out....OMG WTF....LMAO..

Someone took the pebbles from his hand, strung him up, and put his sack in his mouth, and hung him...

But I digress, sorry...

Maybe it can be money talk, so it is about both managing and investing...God i am getting bored just typing this...

I'll help keep it alive. I have an accounting background (soon to be cpa-on test #3 currently) so i'll add my insights. Im also an active investor. I wouldn't call myself a day trader though some weeks my activity is higher than others.
