Do you want her cell phone number? It sounds like you could explain that much better than I could.

Bought a Nardi steering wheel with hub and quick release. Awesome.

I am still undecided about Koni install tomorrow due to a rather large domestic to do list.

Mr.onzedge, just put 'Koni Install' on the top of the 'domestic to do list', problem solved!! :icon18: :icon18:

Now that would be funny! You sir are a bery humorous man, and I for one think you should take this act of yours on the road.... Of course, this is something that I'd be happy to explain to the Mrs. as well, if necessary. :hello:

Are you also going to weld the doors shut and take the windows out in lieu of some mesh? :)

I kid, I kid! I do wonder though how much weight reduction removing the OEM wheel and airbag netted you? Man, ate you considering taking this hobby to the next level and doing some amateur racing (unless you already are)?

I have already removed all the airbags in the car. Even the steering wheel. From the best I could tell it was about three pounds.

As far as it goes to what level I'm going to take it to is hard to say. I love to drive my car on the streets and not ready to lose that completely yet. I want a balance of both street and track. In which you can do a lot of track related things to the car and still be good. I just want the most from my track days. I'm thinking of yanking the radio and speakers out now. And the battery reloction kit is coming also. Next year might be my big step with glass and AC.

I really can't wait for the steering wheel. After installing my race seats they sit higher than stock. I hate it. So with the removable steering wheel I can remove the sliders (also removing weight, hehe) and mount the seats to my brakets only to make them lower.

Spohn you are really getting serious. I've had vehicles without radios and didn't miss the radio. I owned a 1964 Plymouth Fury with full cage and racing seats. It was setup for dragracing. As I always say "the only person that has to like your car is you. Do whatever you want to do."

That's right. I wish more people would go half this route. But as another stated it's hard to gut a 30K car. As far as the radio. I have a Iphone.:tup: So that's all I need there,

happytheman 02-10-2012 09:29 PM

I knew that once you got that PWJDM, you'd be selling your TI! :tup: that's ok, because I sold my TI almost two months prior to getting my PWJDM.

hahaha, the ti knob is pretty good though. i liked it. was planning to use on my G but it just looked too tuner for the G's interior.

the PWJDM one is okay, i dont like the decorative stripe they put on there as i had to file it pretty much half way to rid burrs. im going to try a couple other knobs i have in my parts bin and might get the biggy TypeR from TWM later on. :tup:

kenchan 02-10-2012 09:46 PM

here's the biggy typeR.
Big Type R Shift Knobs - TWM Performance Weighted Shift Knobs

i have the normal typeR on my G in satin. perfectly matches the interior on that car. :p

Yeah, you know that I'm all :yum: over that knob too don't you? I tii think about it. Perhaps someday, but for now I'm pretty happy with the PWJDM.

Wow! :eek: This post comes to you very nearly 12 hours after the last post on this thread!

Today I'm going to give her a bubble bath and put on her new wipers.

dAvenue 02-11-2012 10:11 AM

Good morning Happy.

So last night, my 16 year old cat tipped over a water glass onto my new MacBook. Ruined it. I guess this is what happens when old meets new.

Itching to drive the Z today, though. That always makes me smile.

happytheman 02-11-2012 10:17 AM

Good morning dAvenue! :hello:

OMG!! $1600 gone! Did you have accidental damage coverage? Tervis Tumbler FTW!

dAvenue 02-11-2012 10:21 AM

Nope. It's a total loss. The only good news from this is the next MacBook gets released in March.

hey there, mr. alcheng. that looks like how my town looks as well. :D hahaha. wasn't too bad though, about 2in max but the blowing snow made it deep in some areas. my G did fine on the way home with LM60's. :tup:

no car action today.

Srenity 02-11-2012 11:12 AM

Good Morning Mr. Happy, Mr. Kenchan, Mr. DAvenue, and Mr. OnZedge. Sucks about your Macbook DAvenue. I think I am going to install my Z1 oil cooler today. I was going to do it at OnZedges place but the scheduling did not work out so I am going to tackle the job myself. Hope the Koni's made it the top of the domestic list.

Good luck, Mr Srenity. Call me if you run into a snag with the installation. You should still come by next time you are up for a 40th photoshoot.

Good monring everyone else!!! :tiphat:

Yah I was going to say that the scheduling must not have worked out because Mr. Onzedge had to put on an apron! :eek:

In for first impressions! I've got my K&N drop ins, but I've been holding off on installing them until I get my post MAF tubes!

Do you already have the370z.com stickers on that little side window? If not, perhaps snug the Z1 sticker in teh corner of each one. Are they vinyl?

Thanks and will do. As everyone has noticed I'm sure I suck at taking quality pictures so a good 40th photoshoot with a photo guy would be great. Now put down the keyboard, take off the apron, and get those Koni's on.

Bought a roll cage mount for my GoPro. Plus a Kindle Fire to keep my life mate at ease for all the things I do to my car. Lol.

happytheman 02-11-2012 12:26 PM

Installed my new RainX Latitude blades. 10 minutes later, after throwing away all the packaging and the 1,000,000 uncessary adapters (WTF?!), I began cleaning the windshield only to notice a couple of dings that must have been made by tumbling boulders. Any way to polish those little dings out?? FML

Immediate thoughts, it looks like there will be good coverage with the new blades, but won't know for sure until I have to use them.

Hey guys, happy saturday. Went to the Buffalo Auto Show hoping to see a 2013 Z and a 2012 ZL1amaro. Would you believe they didn't have either one :shakes head: WTH the weather was terrible also,.

KingZee 02-11-2012 03:25 PM

:hello: happy Saturday everyone...it's been a week since I've driven the Z, my ankle is still kinda iffy and I'm waiting on the dimple oil plug to get here so I can do my oil change...does anyone use these dimple magnet oil plugs? I'm wondering if it's common practice to change these every oil change since they're $35 each...People rave about them in the DIY Oil thread.

EDIT: after reading their website more thoroughly this might be somewhat of a stupid question

Man, oh man. I got my skirt work done quickly today and gave Colin a call to make sure he could fit me in for my Koni install. The big guy broke his hand last night after he slipped in the bathroom -- sober even. Bad luck -- broken right hand and pregnant fiance.

It's fate, or God, teaching me patience again. I guess it is off to Taylor's shop next week for the install, or wait 3 or 4 weeks for Colin's hand to heal.

I will settle for an oil change which I am about to do. This is the second one with ENEOS 5-30.
