mr.alcheng - about 10yrs ago i tried.... she tried too. we practiced on my dd civic at the time over and over. she was getting the hang of it. actually that protege5 i spoke about earlier... i bought it for her. it was a 5MT brand new all paid for. but she just could not wing it. lol :icon17: it's because she wears a lot of different shoes with all sorts of heels and too lazy to change shoes each time she drove.

so after about 2months she gave up.. so i gave her my then 3yr old modded G20 which was AT. and i sold the protege5 for the MINI cause it was too damn slow :icon17:

she is absolutely no longer interested in driving MT. hahahahaha.

Red z1 silicon hoses (PCV and Brake Booster) to add a personal touch to the engine bay. Also got some Redline Differential oil.

Exhaust update got a few more bolts/knuts off, just one left! I think this knut is stripped though. I'll try a 12 point socket tomorrow. hosed it down with pb blaster and will see what happens.

Thanks Happy!

I bought this pressure washer Simoniz 2000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer | Canadian Tire ignore the price, I bought it at 50% off, you never buy anything from Canadian Tire at full price, it will be heavily discounted in the future, just need to watch the sales.

I bought a cheap foamer from Home Depot. It worked really well, but I could use a slightly bigger reservoir. Homelite | G-Clean Detergent Foamer | Home Depot Canada it's worth the $20.

Once you get that thing off, you should crank it and go for a spin without the CBE and see what you think! :tup:

Mr.kenchan, sometimes I am a little :confused: too when I see women driving with their heels on... some of them wears like 3-4 inches heel and shuttle through traffic... LOL

Mr.ZMan8, Good Luck!! ;)


I have done so far what I want to be done to my Z, ClearBra, CAI, Tires/Rims, Spacers, Spoiler and HU. Maybe some redline products later on and I am thinking about going to upgrade the brakes when the OEM is done... ;)

Give us your reviews of it. I think the Z series are the thin ones right?

Data logging... and porn. :bowrofl:

It's really for everything. For me, I really only need it for data logging and maybe some work if I don't feel like sitting at my desk. I'll also use it for viewing GoPro footage and doing some light editing (like when I'm at ZDayZ this May). My girlfriend uses it for work and school as well.

The 14z is the thin and light one. Not as thin as the XPS 13 ultrabook (which I want) but more powerful and practical. I didn't get the souped up one. The specs are:

Core i5-2450M - 2.5/3.1 Ghz, 3MB cache
8GB DDR3
750GB 7500RPM HDD
Intel HD 3000 onboard gfx

Its pretty quick and does everything I need it to do. Looks real nice too. Compact and fairly light (under 5lbs). Got it for $899.

P.S. -- Good Morning, Misters

P.S.S. -- Fantastic tire! :p

Good morning all. Hope you have a great Thursday... Long weekend! Woohoo!
