What did you do with your Z today II

TheGreatOne · 03-08-2012, 04:59 PM

I received my guage overlay today...so one more thing to add to my "get done" list next week for when I roll the car out

Crossing fingers on a deal for some Motordyne ART pipes for a guy who "might" part out

Those two pictures are from Top Speed, which is what I am looking at right now, and one is with the resonator, which is the one with that pendant.

The price is about my range and the sound is quite good.

Thank you for the explanation Mr.kenchan

The reason why I want to understand what is the difference is I don't want to have a loud exhaust note from my car, sometimes I would like to enjoy the audio system or having conversation in the cabin.

Oh Alcheng, if only you lived in Florida.. You could take a ride in mine and here the gloriousness that is FI!

Ps. I have the 18" resonator, making it the quietest FI offering available.

the FI was on the top of my list with the ark, but it will about $2k with shipping and tax all together when arriving my home in Canada, which is kind of steep consider I have spent already about $6k-ish on it.

So the Top Speed and the spoiler will cost me roughly around $1k, and I will get the exhaust note AND the flush-looking trunk.

It's a win-win for me.

mr.alcheng- yah, i dont like loud exhausts either. it just makes it too noisy and tiring after a while...especially after the honeymoon period.

ordered up a couple of cleaning supplies and clay from griots tonight.

so far weather looks pretty good for Sat.

might even get to motor my Z on Sun. woooooot!

I took my Z out for a ride to burn off some gas(need to be below 1/4)so I can remove my fuel pump for my F.I.

YES! This! I didn't get to go to those last year and I really wanna check 'em out.

Just go to Walmart. I go to Walmart -- it is a form of therapy for me. It is the same reason I have to watch "Cops" every now and then. I feel much better about myself and what I am doing with my life with every visit.

lol! hahaha. i guess it's a place for one to go remind himself wat one took for granted...

going to walmart is like going to the social security office or police station where you feel like you did
something wrong yet you haven't.
