What did you do with your Z today II

bbigby64 · 01-31-2012, 10:34 PM

Took advantage of a warm winter day by washing the dirt and salt off of my Z; a flash snow storm caught the wife and me by surprise while we were eating at a restaurant on Sunday evening . We took longer than usual to get home, because those sporty tires just don't appreciate the snow.

bbigby- you were doing donuts in the parking lot so that's why it took longer than usual, huh? speak the truth.

Yeah, man. After exiting the parking lot, getting up that hill was a b@#. The Z was fish tailing. It's nice that the car was aware of it. (NO sh#!) I tried to keep my cool, though. Didn't want the wife to panic.

Nope. It was no fun. I just wanted to get my precious home in one piece, and the wife, too.

Gotta check the forecast better next time. That snow storm came out if no where!

hahahaha. i use weatherbug app on my droidx and it's been very reliable so far.

not only does it have radar it also shows barometric pressure so as soon as you see it dropping you know it's very likely that it's going to rain/snow.

The roads were wet this morning so I left my Z home, too. I washed and buffed him last evening so I didn't want to get him dirty.

huh.... yah, i didn't know Z1 made them when i ordered the HPS... at the time it was only HPS that had them. not sure about the fitment cause mine fits fine. i did some minor trimming but that's all.

mishimoto... no thanks. some wannabie-japanese china folks in USA, i heard.

In fact, I did the K&N drop-in too, but those threads about CAI recently just making me itch very badly!!!

hahaha. i had a cai before and while i liked the response the noise was pretty loud.

too loud for me especially at high rpm.
