A small update, finally got my rims and tires on. 245/285, was quite happy with my Costco installation, they took their time and everything went smoothly. After seeing a few threads about letting Costco mount, I was a bit reluctant, but I guess it all depends on the Costco and the employees working there at the time.

Quick cellphone pic with my brothers G.
Definitely liking the concave and seeing more of the sport pkg brakes.

Color-matching the handles and probably swifts next up on the to-do list :tup:

Real vs. fake, if you are talking about plastic surgery, I will say it's like Stock vs. Ricer :ugh2: :ugh2: Mod will improve, Ricer is putting some stupid add-on and make it worse.... :ugh2:

Is anyone going to write about Z's in the "What did you do with your Z today?" thread today?

Fire 05-15-2012 05:07 PM

Dammit onze why do we need to be on topic? We where talking about boobs. Anyway I drove my Z to lunch and got it's yearly inspection (inspection was free). Got some buffing compound to remove some scuffs on the trunk lid for the Carlisle show Fri and Sat. :eekdance:

That's better. I am driving to a client in a few minutes to deliver and evening Material Requirements Planning class. They are an explosives factory, so I have to be careful when I have to talk about "exploding BOMs" in the planning process. Sorry, a little materials management/planning humor.

Fire 05-15-2012 05:15 PM

Rock those stickers Pint. Exploding BOOBS Onze?

The Accord actually has an amazingly large trunk, but of course anything large like wheels or exhaust won't fit at all.

Umm... actually it would definitely be the other way around considering some of the stuff my wife and I have ordered recently :p

How about a boobs + Z picture? :p Will that make you less grumpy?

I'm not sure if it would Pint. Him and his wife ordered mail order boobies :bowrofl:

Zach711f 05-15-2012 05:23 PM

Ok so it ended up being the coil packs that were bad. They swapped em out and there is no more misfire. Final dyno numbers were. 565 whp and 580tq at 17 psi. I told them to hold off on taking it any higher until I get a twin pump and more injector even though there was room to go. Il post dyno sheet later when they email it to me. Gotta update my sig now!

I almost didn't post it but just couldn't help myself :icon17:

Fire 05-15-2012 05:26 PM

Those numbers are strange Zach711f. Small HP gains but huge torque numbers. Maybe it is a lack of fuel at the higher RPM's.

Fire 05-15-2012 05:30 PM

Whoops I mixed up JAR's and Onze's posts LOL :shakes head:

Zach711f 05-15-2012 05:30 PM

No I actually posted the wrong tq last time. They kept everything about the same. Just the colder weather have me some more power on dyno today and no misfire. But the TRq was around 580 before I guess. I don't know why I thought they said a lot less

Fire 05-15-2012 05:32 PM

OK that makes more sense Zach711f. :tup:

Zach711f 05-15-2012 05:33 PM

Oh yah and small exhaust leak was tightens up. That makes a world of difference!

I have had trouble with them as a company. I suggest you buy from a reputable reseller if you do buy something EVO-R. That way you're covered if the item isn't up to suff.

I just realized how much easier it is to postwhore :postwhore: from a pc with an actual keyboard. Most of my posting (99%) is from my ipad.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm considering buying a BT keyboard for my iPad...

I would like to get a harness so I can do some "probing" and actually see what is going on with the system in relation with the BCM and IPDM. Having said that, I'm not sure I want to pay $50 to do that...

Bucketlist2012 05-15-2012 07:20 PM

Finally took it out for a ride..The 370Z and not the Z/28.

For me, the car is great.. Compared to the 350Z, it feels great..

For what I will do with the car, street driving, it works great.. The brakes are good, and the handling and the power are fine for me..

Sure the exhaust isn't the same, but no biggie.. Sure they have an Oil temp gauge,
I don't read it. It may have read 210, but if I am only street driving and some traffic in hot weather, I could care less..

The tank is full of gasoline, so I don't worry, and over all , the 2009 Sport/Touring felt great, and looked even better..

But I am 52, so I won't be racing it on the street or modding it..

That is what I have the crazy Z/28 for...Redline and track days..

But Today I drove the 370Z ...Finally.

Only the gas Gauge is lame, but that is a pimple..Hopefully I won't have any of the problems 370z's have ,but time will tell..

Today was a good day...except for the hater tailgaters..But haters will hate...No sweat.

I can hook up a BT mouse and keyboard to my iPhone. It's pretty slick, but I've usually got another computer right next to me when I set it up. I use the BT mouse sometimes when I'm traveling so I can play X-COM: UFO Defense on my iPhone :happydance: (1994 PC game for those who aren't in the know :icon17:)

I used my first gen iPad for casual web browsing and my MacBook Pro for everything else but since buying the third gen iPad, I have turned into an iPad power user. I literally use it for everything. The retina display has spoiled me, it really is that much better. :tup:
