Ryan, apparently. :bowrofl:

:icon18:

morning zman! nice! :tup: those silicon hoses keep temps inside cooler too... well, from what i read. :icon17: i dont know for certain.

sucks that the nut stripped through. yah, also banging on the nut with a hammer a little too before you turn can loosens up rust sometimes. GL! :tup:

if there's enough clearance sears sells various 'easy-out's that bite into the stripped fastener while you loosen it. with rusted bolts/nuts you only get a few tries before it strips or breaks off. :icon17:

morning mr.alcheng- about the shoes... we better check with luna cause he's a shoes-guy..:ugh2: :icon17:

sounds good on the mods. :tup:


gmorning, mustang! :tup:


good morning, mr.gale! :D yes, i am off tommorrow too... probably spend some time claybarring the G's top surfaces (hood, roof, trunk) tomorrow... and just Hydro for now. temps are too low to do full sealant application.

hey np Fire! :tup: good morning. ahhhh, hospital. good to hear your boss is cool. :D so you're selling your car even though it has under 4K miles? wow. :icon17: ive done that once...selling a brand new car before its first scheduled oil change. lol


yah, i have no new parts or mods.. :ugh2: :icon17: hope you get that ZL1 soon... how many are they planning to build per year? :confused:

good morning, mr.onzedge! :D

no car action today... literally. i drove my Fit to work. wow, AT :ugh2: wow Fit.. :ugh2: how boring life must be for most people driving regular cars... :wtf2: :icon17:

The weather has been real nice so I've been driving my S2000 all week. Top down ftw!

so we should call you s2k from now on? :confused:

too much allergies right now... topdown ftl! :icon17: i haven't taken claritin for today yet cause it messes with my head... right eye has been filled with tears this am.... :ugh2:

Dang. I hope you get your ZL1 soon, though! :excited:

:icon17: You can just call me Steve. ;)

I have really bad allergies. I take a Claritin every morning as well as two sprays of Fluconase in each nostril.

Today I forgot to take the Fluconase so the pollen is getting to me more than normal.

Sucks to be you I have a hand down here from Colorado and his eyes are always swollen, and red. Blows nose constantly.

yah, and to me it seems like it gets worse by age too... :ugh2: and thus why i need to do more research how lasik could affect my allergies if i go through with the procedure. would totally suck if it worsened... :icon14:

my buddy has terrible allergies (needs prescription drugs) but he moved to socal 12-13yrs ago and ever since everything cleared up for him. the dry air and the plants that grow in LA are different. no needles, no pills. nothing. :tup:

i should move back to LA someday. :icon17: palos verdes here i come again...

nice! i'm looking for a new laptop for my gf her biggest thing is it needs to be small and light ("purse ready" :ugh2:) :icon17:

Good looking stats there too, almost like a gaming computer. How is the Core i5? Haven't read much about it yet.

P.S. Morning Gentlemen! :tup: :hello:

:tup:

:excited: for you

Do you wear contacts? I do, which I know make allergies even worse. I think lasik would help if anything since you no longer have a pollen filled contact in your eye!

The i5 is great. i7 even better.

yes but with i7 your looking at probably $1000+.

i'd get the Air... well unless you must have a windows based. for most users the air will be more than enough and small. i currently use a MBP i5. i think it was either a 2.2 or 2.3GHz. i luvs the thing. :tup:

and i run the free Office software called LibreOffice. works great with my docs made on my pc too.

i didnt get the air cause i use my MBP for my music. i took out the optical drive and replaced with a 7800rpm 512G HD so my computer has dual drives inside. i can still use the optical drive externally to watch DVD's burn discs, etc. :p

I'll have to look into it. My biggest thing is $. She doesn't need one that's expensive, just one that works :roflpuke2:

Definitely. The i5-2450 is more than sufficient for most applications. I play the HD video from my GoPro and edit it just fine on this machine.

When I want to play games... I have a special rig for that. :D

So, I have to own up to something.

I lied in an earlier post when I stated that I was done modding. I totally forgot about the purchase I made from Z1 last November during their Black Friday sale. In a box in my garage, that is prominently marked with the Z1 logo, resides the upper and lower radiator hoses as well as two overflow hoses -- in the far-out, groovy red silicone. I will get around to installing these in a couple of weeks (240z work is on my plate this weekend).

I have a question for you, Mr. ZMan8 -- are you performing a radiator flush at the same time as you replace the hoses? I am curious. I am going to replace the coolant when I do mine.

Actually I passed up on the radiator hose for now. That one is the largest hose and also most visible. First I want to see what it will look like after I add the others. Then if I need more red to match the color scheme we have going on I will get the radiator hose as well.

On the topic of flushing the radiator it's not necessary you can just drain the fluid when you do the lower hose and refill after your done. Unless you have a lot of miles then yeah go ahead and get it flushed while your at it.

:tup: thank you sir.

careful with the red hoses guys... iv heard they fade fairly quickly and turn orangy / pink. I wanted a pair for myself until I read that :(

If this was still the Female Locker Room pink would be a good thing. :tup:

:iagree: although I think sexy red lingerie is the best it gets!

Many pictures they look more orange but they are a darker red.

they do look good though (not my car):

I cant see that picture at the office, I am just referring to after you have them on for a while and the heat in the engine bay makes them fade.. I will try to find the link where I read that.

Are you telling me sir, that it is not!? :eek:









:roflpuke2:

Terrible one I heard that too somewhere, but I spent a total of $42 for 3 red hoses so it's no big deal for me. If they fade, back to stock it goes.

at that price even if they only look good for a year you could just order another set. :tup:

i do wear contacts... what i'll do is try a walk throught the park with only my glasses and see what happens. :D im very nearsighted... everything past 3" is a blurr...thus i want to get the procedure done before i have oldman's eyes... far sightedness... by then i wont be able to see anything. :ugh2:


my i7 died the other week. :ugh2: was windows. overheating issues... im back on a i5 unit for now for work. will see how this unit goes.

yah, in that case definitely go pc. :tup: i like renovo's and might get a small thinkpad later on.

:icon18: well, parts came before you posted so i think you're safe? :icon17:

oh, i thought zman was changing out the post-MAF tubes. :confused: oh well.

Mr. Kenchan I have the 2 PCV hoses and a brake booster. I may do post MAF down the road but probably not red because there would be too much then. I might follow Onzedge on the radiator one though. :tup:

:roflpuke2: :tup:

aha! :tup: scratch my post about keeping things cooler inside then. i bet you were like :confused: 'kenchan taking claritin again??!' lol :icon17:

Washed. Air drying the sides

:tup:

Hey Mr.Fire, sometimes sh!t happens at work, no need to waste time/energy on getting mad on those sh!tty people... LOL :icon17:

Good Morning Mr.kenchan, :tup: :tup: for your G, LOL

And I agree with you, driving an AT is like working in a factory.... :yawn: X 10


Good Morning Mr.onzedge... see you in here and "Word", :tup:

Mr.kenchan, how strong is your Rx for eyeglasses?? And what kind/brand of C/L are you using?? (You can PM me about this)


Good Morning Everyone!!!! :tiphat: :tiphat:

Gonna wash my Z tonight after tennis and have a photo shoot tomorrow morning before dim-sum :yum: :yum:

hey mr.alcheng :hello: yah that quick trip this am assurred me that i hate regular AT cars. lol so the beater will have to be MT if i decide to get one. lol

i dont have my prescription with me so dont know.. it's pretty strong. but the good is both my eyes are same weakness so the contacts are interchangeable. :icon17: hahahaha. i dont remember the brand name at the top of my head either...hummm... and i haven't taken claritin yet. :icon17:

yamucha sounds :yum: i shall get me some soon... looking forward to your snaps. :tup:

:icon18: it's ok. :tup:

Mr.kenchan, looks like a CX-5 is going to be in your garage in the near future, ever consider the Mazda 3…… but the 'happy face'…… :shakes head:
The car has happy face but the owner does not while looking at it……… :icon14:

Regarding the contacts, allergy season is a big no to contacts, at least that's what I tell my customers all the time, but I wanna see what is the Rx for your contacts maybe you can use those 1 day disposable lenses at least for this period of time, it helps or you may talk with your optician/optomitrist about it. ;)

Yea……… dim sum tomorrow, and more tennis after that……… :yum: :yum:

Hi guys back from the dealer. Regular service. They did say that the wear on my tires was pretty bad. only 3 mm's on rear and 4mm on front. Don't know what the depth is new but WTH. I just turned 4000 miles. I haven't done any burnouts and haven't solocrossed it. Ofcourse I shouldn't have the car after next month but don't know why the wear is soo bad. The tires look good. Oh and while at the dealer the new car salesman wanted the dealership to buy my car. Unfortunatelly the used car sales director didn't want to pay the payoff for it. Like I said no big deal cause the car will be gone next month or June at the latest. :ugh2:

I say it is time for some of these:
