Hello, mr.onzedge.

Mr.kenchan

hey kenchan, when I was taking off the clutch-helper-spring last night, it reminds me those shocks we use in R/C cars, of cause the size are completely different, but it just reminds me... those days... LOL

Yes, the clutch-point is more obvious, I haven't has a chance to actually drive/try it, but it feels better, the only thing I have to get rid of now is the squeaky noise..... it occurs after I remove the spring.....

Hey Mr.Fire, good morning!!!

Good morning Z fellows!!!

In case you've missed it, I've install the shift-knob last night, pics was on page 187

Fire · 03-01-2012, 10:36 AM

Hi Alcheng I was kinda avoiding the knob discussion

I think it reached an all time low when Happy said that he had been sitting on his knob for a couple weeks

Lemme know how you like it. I have one on order as well but I'm about 8 weeks out.

Did you get the 18" res stainless?

Fire · 03-01-2012, 10:40 AM

Like your ride speedy. I have one just about like it but I don't wear a helmet

Good Morning Family.

I'm getting a first hand lesson in the "Law of Unintended Circumstances" this week. Here we go:

Get killer deal on a set of Nismo rims and brand new tires.

Find out that 2009 TMPS on rims will not "talk" to my 2011 Z.

Purchase 2011 TMPS from forum member at great price.

On the way to have the TMPS switched-out, hit a massive pot hole, but don't notice any damage.

Upon arriving at the tire store (Discount Tire) where I am having TPMS swap done, I'm informed by the manager they don't touch cars with spacers.

Car is parked for the weekend.

Notice on the drive to work on Monday that the car is pulling to the right.

Notice on Tuesday, the pulling is worse. Look at the subject tire, and realize there is hardly any air in it. Remember, I have no TMPS right now.

Immediately take the car across the street and inflate tire to 50 psi in order to make it home later in the day.

Get home last night and check tire. It has 38.5 psi. A few hours later, it's down to 35 psi. Take tire off and inspect for any holes, cuts, nails, etc. Find none and begin a prayer vigil hoping the rim is okay. Mount the spare mini-tire.

Get up this morning and am at Discount Tire when it opens. Manager meets me at my car, and I explain the situation. He thinks its a cut in the bead of the tire which is now ruined anyway.

Purchase new tire and road hazard insurance for the other three.

I'm now waiting to see if the rim/new tire can hold air okay. Apparently, it's okay since i haven't gotten a call back with any problems. Wife's picking up the tire at noon if everything is okay, and I'll mount it tonight.

What I found really interesting is that the flat tire does not fit in the spot where the spare came out of. What do you do if you are on a road trip with luggage?

I'll keep you guys informed on events as they unfold. Still have to get the TMPS swapped-out and a front end alignment. That should happen next week.

I just hope there aren't any bent suspension pieces. I was only going 25 mph when I hit the pot hole, but the impact knocked the wheel out of my hands.

yikes, GL hopefully its just the tire.

Can anybody please inform me regarding the TPMS and aftermarket wheels?

Yes I did

I figured it's easier to make it louder later on than more quiet.

Loud pipes save lives

My 69 Vette had 4 inch side pipes with no mufflers. What??

Fire · 03-01-2012, 10:54 AM

Thanks Ken. Shouldn't be much, my mom had her knee replaced so I'm sure she will keep him in line.
