You know what kills me? 20" Tires are cheaper than 19". :shakes head: It's a more common size.

Not after dropping $1300 on new shoes! :) Perhaps next year.

Yes. I've run Michelins before, but it was the PS2 (IIRC) and it was like a 45 series 17" tire. They were way better than all the sets of Yokohamas that I blew through over the years.

Gmorning guys:hello: Getting ready to spin some wrenches and get dirty:tup:
Anyone who is running sway bars, what settings are you using??? Also, Mr. onzedge & Mr. dAvenue, what settings are you running on your Konis?? All input is appreciated. Have a great weekend guys:tiphat: |
Morning all. :tup: going to drop off my kid at school and ship out the trims. :p
Looks like no Z action today.....rain on the way. :( will take the G instead. |
Alchemy- GL with the install. :tup: my tips: Crack loose the top center nut on shaft before removing from car. Mark orientation of top mount before removal and disassembly. :)

So I have the rears exactly in the middle and the fronts 1/4 turn "more tight" than the rears. This was the starting point for me and today I am going to loosen by 1/4 turn front and rear. They are a little stiff with my current settings and I am gong to keep the fronts a bit stiffer tha the reas. I hope this helps. I can PM my phone number if you want to discuss this -- let me know. Good luck, man. |
Not too much is happening with the Z today -- minor Koni adjustment and wash. I am taking the Juke in for the post-break-in oil change and inspection.
We are celebrating first son Colin's BD tomorrow and one his buddies is bringing his back-to-the-future mobile and I am getting some photos while it's here. Here is one Colin shot. http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...14925945_n.jpg |
Good morning misters! The woman and I are about to head out to go on a cruise with my Z club and taste some nice wines at Bluemont Vineyard. We're taking the S2000 to enjoy the weather. :tup:
|
Up early to watch the F1 qualification. Quik Z drive to the VW dealer to get the new front spoiler for the new GTI(update to German spec).
Just finished full detail. Polished and wax'd the new paint yesterday. Did the rest of the car today as well. Nice clean and shiny! |

I'm Mr.Mom today so no Z driving for me. If you don't see any posts from me in 8 hours, send help. My two year old has probably duct taped me to the floor and has overtaken the house. |
I took the Z to the strip last night. I still suck, but my reaction times were pretty good. They were all within .1 seconds of the light (it was a .5 tree) with my best being a .5473. I still need to work on my 60' though.

You are doing everything right today sir :tup: :driving: :tiphat: |
Got a ticket going 73 in a 55 :shakes head: but the cop that gave it to me was pleasant. No lectures or power trips. He just gave me the ticket and told me to ask about the military discount.
|
Sorry about the ticket, but glad the dude wasn't a tool. :)
|
Ordered the Shine rear splats. My car really needed something back there to match the rest of my kit. Wanted to wait for something more aggressive but it really needs something in the mean time.

Hi guys. Sorry not on last night had a couple back to back ambulance calls and had our yearly physical at the fire hall this morning. No comment on the F1 posts, to me F1 is like fast cars with no passing. Like a 200 mph parade. Com on guys do some passing. Did watch the last laps of the NW race last night. Hey Lemers nice ZL1 reference. Reading posts on another forum nobody is getting much info on their orders. :shakes head:
|
Wow. Nice pict mr.onzedge! Happy bday to your son. :tup:

Yah ended up taking the Fit... I cleaned the G last night so was too lazy to redo. The trim has shipped. :tup: thanks again for your sales pitch! :D |
Got my first service done today. 3 months into ownership and 1586 miles.
|
DROVE MY Z TODAY. MOST EXCITING THING IN 2 MONTHS.
hehehe...i broke my foot 2 months ago and have been out of my cast for a week. been in rehab and i have enough dexterity in my right foot to operate the gas pedal now. still cant walk w/o the use of crutches, but i was able to take the z out of the garage and to grab some coffee with some friends. felt as exhilarating as the day i bought the car! |
After my ticket I went to the commissary. Who said this isn't a grocery getter?
http://img.tapatalk.com/adaccdfa-b3f6-037c.jpg Over $200 of groceries fit in it |

Glad I was able to help with your trim. I was afraid it was going to be your lug nuts all over again. I couldn't let that happen, it was too painful to watch. :rofl2: |
