What did you do with your Z today II

onzedge

My life revolves around the win-win scenario. It is much easier than the win-lose-win-lose-lose type I used to live by.

sounds great, mr.onzedge!

i too am just too busy and tired to be fixing my mistakes so i make decisions where i wont need to re-do things later.

onzedge

That sounds like a good approach.

This wheel spacer discussion has me thinking and worried now. I have H&R stud replacement on the front, but Ichiba non-stud replacement on the rear. Should I be concerned? Should I spend the rest ot the week fretting and obsessing, only to purchase stud-replacements for the rear?

Mr.onzedge, not to stir things around, but if it makes you feel better/safer to change it, plus the reasonable amount of money for a good-brand, H&R/Eibach, is only around $140ish.

Why not doing it??

It's like I say, if you have time to do something wrong, then you have the time to do it right, may as well do it right the first time.

mr.onzedge - i wouldn't worry. i suppose if you start sensing vibration through your steering wheel it might be time to replace the spacer on the front. as for the rear, probably fine and infact 'better' to have the ichibas/Kic's since the centering ring has some room to move vs the single-molded hubcentric spacers by H&R/Eibach when using your stock 19's.


sounds great, mr.gale! this goes with buying things too... i basically dont buy things unless i truely want it.

onzedge

Now I think I am going to replace my rear spacers with stud-replacement types. While I am at it, I am thinking about going with ARP studs - is this overkill? Probably, but overkill and I are well acquainted -- all I have to do is look at my photo equipment, book collection or cd's.

Nice ---

kenchan

honestly i think you would be going backwards if you went to stud-replacement type while running stock 19's, unless you have stud-replacement spacers with separate centering rings.

if you're running aftermarket lug-centric wheels like mr.alcheng, then either one will work just fine.

especially for the rear when you have to swap to donuts it's not that difficult to remove the bolt-on spacers out in the field. if it's the front then you'll have to jam something in the disc brake in order to remove the spacer unless you have an impact at all times.

alcheng

Mr.kenchan, how about those spacers have the "lips" that stick out for centering???

alcheng

Like buying a Z??

kenchan

hahaha, yah, and keeping it mostly stock.

im waiting for proclip to send me ETA for the motorola droid4 holder. i think im going to upgrade from my droidx soooooon.

alcheng

Mr.kenchan, stock FairladyZ = fairlady, why change her into a gothic.

droid4 is a very nice smartphone, consider your requirement is a physical keyboard. Otherwise, I am looking forward to the Galaxy SIII. I am still using my SII, just got it since last Jul and love it so far.

kenchan

yep, i dont like 'typing' on faux keys on the touch panel. i prefer physical qwerty keyboard. also, i prefer to buy american even if made in china. so for me, apple for my computer needs (MBP), Motorola for my smartphone needs, and bb for my work needs.

GaleForce

Yup!
