Coworker shows up today in a blacked out mustang. Yeah, me and him goin be getting on it on the beltway.

Also, of course I talk a lil smack today about driving in the winter and it starts to blizzard at lunch. So imme have to leave my car at work overnight in the underground. Guess I had that one commin.

LOL I didn't cause that, sorry Gauge.

VERY NICE!! Great fit and finish:tup:

hi mr. alcheng- :tup: im jelly you got to drive your Z today. :icon17: so you like the new intake too? this was the first time you actually took it up to speed? or did you do test drives without telling us? :ugh2: ;) :icon17:

fire- is that because GM doesn't want your business?? :icon14: wtf~

Grueling phone conversation with a little Italian lady that insisted that I speak Italian since my father does lol. I can get by but I really need to brush up on it lol

Being trilingual is difficult lol

Fun.

At least it matches your car

Mr.kenchan, yes, this is the first time I stretch the Z since the intake and the removal of the clutch-sping!!

The sucking sound is more obvious than the 'test drive' last week between 3k-5k rpm and it pulls smoothly :tup: :tup: Worth the $$$, LOL


Mr.Fire, Seems the ZL1 is fast, but the production is slow...Don't worry, people pays $250k for a Ferrari and have to wait for 12 months, compare to them, GM is doing a VERY VERY good job :ugh2:

Wow.... is that a new type of Powder Coat that applies on tires??? :icon18:

Looking Good EasyD!! :bowrofl:

Lol, drive the car home in the snow and salt like you said, why wimp out now? :icon17:

Sounds awesome, mr.alcheng! :tup:

What intake?

Lol, some old Italian guy once came to me asked my nationality and said I was family. :icon17:

The one despised by your fiance. :icon17:

MAF Tubes + drop ins?!

Cup of a carpenter!

today needs to end sooon... too busy for a friday. :mad: :icon17:

:iagree: too bad i have to be in the office tomorrow as well :thumbsdown:

This intake.. :tup: (Pics below)

Don't worry Mr.kenchan, Nick's parents will buy him as a gift later :icon18:

Right?? :icon17:

How'd you know?!! :p

That intake looks awesome! SRI are very taboo for me on the Z. I would buy the R2C in a heartbeat, but other than throttle response I think people see a loss in power? IDK WHAT TO DO.... I don't want long tube intakes though

Mr. Alcheng please provide a mini review of the intake. Where is most noticable gain?

Drop ins and post MAF then?

Yea most likely. But my problem is I WANT the R2C's to be good. haha You know what I mean? MAF + drop in's is sort of middle of the road.

Yeah, It's a tough choice. how much are R2C's?

I honestly couldn't tell you as I haven't looked at them for awhile... In the $400-500 range?

oh noez... :( but i have to take my older kid to school, do PTA stuff am and pm, while doing house chores so not so much all fun and games for me any weekend. :icon17:



:icon18: hahaha! that's true, mr.alcheng. lol

that's wat i have.. HPS and K&N combo.

R2C'are good too. :tup: i had them last year but sold. it has nice gains as far as response, but cai's in general were too noisy for me so i went with the HPS/K&N drop-ins setup. i might go back to stock tubes and just run K&N drop-ins. nothing wrong with the HPS, i dont sense any gains from the tubes alone so i rather have factory bits in this case.

nah, I'm lowered on swifts...I love the drop but I'm paying for it.

I actually had GenIII sitting in my garage a week ago, but after 2 months of thinking i decided to allocated the $500 towards other parts first. So i Sold them :tup:

i c! :D yah, honestly speaking i think the K&N drop-in approach should be more than adequate. even the amuse 350Z track car used stock intake box/tubes... the post-MAF is cool to look at but i doubt it has any performance benefits.

nick you want mine? :icon17:

But those long tube intakes looks so sweet in there! :yum:

yah, they do look good. :tup: but then again, it's noisy especially at high RPM... :icon17: the car sounds so much smooooother with stock tubes and box. that's how i like mine.

mmmm.... i knowz wat im going to get next.

fic spacers 10mm hubcentric lip included unlike kics. :yum:

I wonder if those are better than H&Rs

woah, over 200... lol

they can handle quite a bit of beating.. like over 100N force of torque...

You are Mr Smoooth Kenman. :tiphat:
Let me try to explain my issues with the ZL1. It is not how long it takes to get one. My issue is that I have no proof that even though I have put $2000 down and my financing is fine that I have a car ordered. The dealers where given only a certain # of allocations for ZL1's. From what I've heard not all dealers received an allocation. I don't know if my dealer even has an allocation to use. If they do not then they actually cannot order my car. The dealer has thus far been unable or unwilling to give me an order #. GM Connects.com is an on line tracking service and they have said that there is absolutely no reason for a dealer to withhold the order# if in fact they ordered a vehicle for you. Getting back to the time it takes to receive a car, I've learned that nobody is taking delivery till probably March 23rd. Sorry for the long winded post but this is what is going on and why I'm really upset over this. :argue:

Fire- tell your GM contact bakayaro. :icon17:

What is bakayaro Kenman? LOL I can say that I love my H&R hubs and that unless those other ones are significantly lighter I would go with the H&R.

I would like to throw a 5 or 10mm spacer on my rear wheels but I just dont trust them.

Yet another reason not to buy American cars:rofl2:

Alchemy as long as you have a good torque wrench you have nothing to worry about. You don't even need a torque wrench if you live near where the dealer or you tire/suspension shop is.

Alchemy I don't think it is a Chevy issue as much as a dealer issue.
