My firm is changing broker-dealers and we have an audit two days after I return from ZDayZ. Since I'm in charge of all trading, account ops, research, etc. I am responsible for getting all of our accounts ready (we have a little over 700 accounts and I need to get about 190 done before I leave) for the switch as well as getting things ready for the audit. I've been doing 12-14 hour days this week. I'll get a break for ZDayZ then when I get back it's right back into the 12-14 hour day swing for at least a few more weeks.

Then I'm going to need another vacation. Which hopefully will be paid for by a healthy bonus. :yum:

Keurig ftw

:tup: Yep. Keurig is very cool.

Sounds like you're keeping busy. :eek: zdayz will be a nice break between.

Morning everyone!!!


Hey Alchemy, never got to ask you how you liked your Koni's since I've barely been around lately.

Yep. I am trying to plan a quieter getaway for August. Somewhere on a beach.

Wow bro, sounds rough. Good luck :tup:

Ok. Just looking out for ya, Pint. :)

gmorning, mr.alcheng! :tup: thanks. :tup: yah, actually i was checking that top of the line kenwood and the pioneer HU (140BH) with nav out too, but the thing about having to pay for map updates for these HU just didn't make sense to me. they cost like 70-130 depending on the manufacturer. :ugh2: wat i wanted to do was get a nav unit with BT that i can use in my G, then use the G's 7" pioneer HU in my Z + BT obd2 monitor (my Z currently uses a 5.8" LCD pioneer HU, not that it's bad, i just wanted a larger screen).

so what i decided was, im going to be upgrading my droid next month anyway, so i will use the Droid4 in my G with power cradle (phone & googlemaps). i usually have my smartphone's BT turned off to save battery power anyway and dont feel like toggling each time i get in the car.

and for the Z, i got the new 5" nuvi with BT & free map updates, and BT obd module so i have gauge monitoring that i wanted. :p i dont use my phone in my Z unless for emergencies. i should be all set for a while. :p


cool, thanks mr.zman! :tup: i should have both the nuvi and bt module tomorrow. :excited:


gmorning OFC! :tup:

O. F. C. :hello:

Good morning Z family. :hello: No Z for me today. It's not raining now, but the forecast is iffy so I left the Z home. However, the forecast predicts an improvement in the weather later so I may take her out this evening. :driving:

btw if anyone has suggestions on quiet east coast ocean vacation spots, let me know.

I'm heading out to Montauk (The Hamptons) tomorrow, I'd give that a look.

Morning fellas. How goes it? :)


Is this for the proposal? :tup:




Mr. Happy, did you ever get your shoes put on?


Mr. bbigby64, just purchase it all so I can :drool: over your pictures. :tup:

Hey Nick. I love my Koni's of course:tup: They feel great paired with my Swifts. Really happy with my suspension setup right now!

No, that will be this week or this weekend.

It's for vacation after the BD change is done. I'll be burned out and need somewhere quiet to go relax. Hopefully on the ocean.

I have to agree. The combination is most excellent. :tup:

gotz headache...

It is probably nothing that a high-speed drive and a few dozen posts cannot cure.

:icon18: morning, mr.onzedge. i just got done making business proposals and used much brain power...i move tens of millions of dollars each month so i can't screw up my composition.

still got 2 more projects to finish this am...hopefully i can relax some in the afternoon.

im back to work. :ugh2:

Kind of funny but I have always found that the menthol cough drops (lemon flavor) help with headaches. Mainly sinus headaches.

I just got laughed at at work because I was talking about wanting to purchase the swift + koni deal. Apparently I shouldn't buy it because I don't push my car enough to even warrant it.

:tup:

Same here. Is it 5 yet?

You don't have to push your car hard to get enjoyment out of better suspension components. The car will look better (lower) and ride better (better damping) even if all you're doing is putting along at the speed limit.

Let them laugh.

Yea, regardless of how hard you push the car if you're going to be doing any mods suspension mods are a must. Forget all the haters...

Well this guy is notorious for giving his $5 worth of an opinion. Unfortunately, he's the only person I can talk parts with since he's my office mate and he's into motorcycles so he at least knows what I'm talking about. I'm still doing it. I WANT to push the car but I'd rather do it when I know I CAN.

Yeah -- forget those guys.

Check his bike for chicken strips and then bust his balls about not pushing his bike.

Easily solution. Laugh off his comments, talk to us about the mods you want, show up at work with your new mods and let him envy you.

This month is a terrible month for indulging myself. Here's what's to come: Mother' Day, my wife's birthday, my son's birthday, and a trip to Long Island to celebrate my sister's birthday. $$$$. I don't want to get into deficit spending. :p. But, at least, I know where to start. :icon17:

You bet! I have candy...

Good morning Mr.kenchan :tiphat: or should I say Mr.baller! Your OBD-2 set up sounds cool. :tup:


Good day O.F.C. crew :hello:

Good day bbigby64

All is well here Pint :hello: enjoying a nice tuna sandwich :yum: I love those times of the day where food is involved. :icon17:

Changed my signature. :icon17:

Boo. Can you get outside for a quick walk? Maybe the fresh air would do you some good? or just getting up of the office for a few minutes?

Good day, GaleForce. :hello:

Yes, it is very sucky and lots frustration, keeping my fingers crossed now hoping they will complete the job properly. Don't know will I want to ask for something from them for compensation, I am not a dealer-person means I don't like have my car service at dealer unless it's warranty stuffs... :ugh2:



Mr.kenchan, I thought you can use the new HU for your OBD-II display and a stand-alone Nuvi to look after your navigation, in that way you can have both GPS AND OBD-II info at the same time :tup:

For your droid, I will strongly suggest you get a cracked version of Sygic, the maps and OS are all updated every once a while and they are clean. That will look after the navigation on the G.

dude, you got too much money to spend, always have to think about how to spend them thus gives you headache... Give them all to OFC!!!! Done, no more headache! :tup: :tup:


Good Morning Z fellows!!!! I hope Everyone have a Great Thursday!! :tiphat:

I am excited about those of you are going to the ZDayz this weekend.. there's not ZDayz in Canada or GTA, the only ZDayz I have in here is Z(:yawn:) - Days, usually that happens everyday at work.... LOL :bowrofl:

OFC!!!!

hey there pint - well, ive been modding cars for a while now and i personally think the Z does NOT need suspension mods for street use, but that's just me. :p ride height is fine, normal wheel gap is there but it's not gaping. it's normal for sport cars for street, just get the right set of wheels with the right offsets and you're fine. with that said, im not going to go through another hassle of setting up the car just to find out, stock setup is more fluid and better suited for street.

i modded my G's suspension because i hated the wheel gap on the front at stock height and wanted a stiffer/smoother ride than G's stock ride. G's stock ride was on the choppy side, tail happy mid-corner. i fixed all that. :p

side effect was i had to get numerous alignments to setup the camber and toe angles to my liking ($125 each time, 4~5 times), numerous times to setup the damp setting, swaybar setting, etc.

if you have the time and energy it can be very fun, but im not going to be messing with the Z's suspension other than maybe tightening down the dampers with koni's (made sure i make mr. onzedge proud!) down the road. :icon17:


before you push the car, did you fix the visibility issue? :)

hey there, mr.gale! :hello: haha, thanks, yah, i hope the obd2 thing turns out the way i want. :D

thanks for the tips. i rested my head by doing less intense work for about an hour and my headache is gone. :tup: and i found out i am still missing a piece of the pie from my other team overseas to do the remaining work, so i pushed it out to tomorrow morning. :icon17: hahaha

mr.alcheng- yah, hope your dealer gives you atleast a couple free oil changes or mug or jacket or something to make it right.

the way i use my nav in my Z is mostly for finding detours when i run into construction zones or heavy traffic. i just need to see my location and decide for myself how to get out of there. i dont use my Z to drive to the stores or restaurants so POI's, etc dont mean much to me. :) with that said, as long as i can flip to the nav screen when needed from the guage screen on my nuvi that will work. 90% of the time im not even looking at the nuvi's map screen. :D i did not wire up the BT modules on either of my 3100 or 4100 (back then those were optional) when i installed 2-3yrs ago so i was thinking of just buying a new 7" with BT built-in next time for the Z.

thanks for the info on the unlocked version of Sygic. :p will definitely check it out. i like the fact that i can just call up my contacts/store address from my phone and use that as my nav in my G. i dont feel like registering addresses on standalone navs. just a pita imho. :ugh2:

actually i dont have much disposable cash to spend... :ugh2: majority of my money after house things goes to my savings for kids and retirement. and i dont rackup on credit cards so my budget is quite limited... and this shitty economy isn't helping either. :shakes head:

Hmm I'll need more opinions on the suspension mods then.

I have the stuff for the visibility fix in the car. Just haven't felt up to messing with it. Been really tired and lots of headaches lately.

Did you check your coworker's bike for chicken strips?
