Now he's telling me that I parked it in the wrong spot. He's right, it normally sleeps in the third bay, but today I was using the middle bay for detailing.

so mr.happy, your car was okay then? that's :tup: news. :p

good morning, everyone :hello:

so it looks like amazon screwed up my order for my new nuvi this am so i cancelled the order along with the stubby bracket. it's one thing to send me an email to let me know they screwed up, but i had it scheduled for overnight shipping for today's arrival. they didn't even consider re-arranging the shipment for saturday delivery; only stated they will give me "free-shipping" for monday delivery (which is the same as the free-2 day shipping i get anyway) :shakes head: wtf.

Mr.kenchan, sounds like your "sick-leave" have to delay for a day or two... :bowrofl:

Hey happy, do you have anything to add to my swift inquiry? :)

hey Nick911sc, I will suggest camber arm with the swifts, you may not need to make too much of adjustment at the beginning, but from time to time the spring starts to slack and settle, plus the effect from the spacers, you might end up having excessive -ve camber.

Eventually the camber arms are necessary.

Need opinions: White or Black wheels?

If it has to be between black and Blanc, then I will go with Black

You can go to this thread official-pearl-white-aftermarket-wheels-

And this thread strickly-pearl-white-370z

Hope it'll help :tup: :tup:

Good Evening Mr.kenchan, it's actually been busy for the last couple of days and a bit stressful. Don't really have time to digest every posts, but it feels good to drop by sometimes. :icon17: :icon17:

So what is your most updated plan for the G??

Mr.alcheng- hope you can find time to relax in the evenings. :D

For now, my G will most likely get a Motorola roadster2 bt clip-on with auto on/off. The pioneer bt module seems to have a hard time syncing to droids. The new 4400bh HU seems fine but not sure if I want to spend 450 for something not fully implemented yet to droids. I think if I wait a yr a more ideal unit will come from them. :p

Oh my! One has to wonder exactly how I should go about performing this sacrifice? Perhaps play Barry Manilow on a huge stereo system at excessive volume 'til his/her ears bleed?

My preferred method is deflorination becuase at the point the "Virgin" is sacrificed, no one got killed, and I got some loving. Yep best method of sacrificing a virgin is delforination.

Unless the Gods prefer a male virgin. ;)

I hope you were able to enjoy your Z with the beautiful weather we're having :tup:

That's a nice looking intake Jar!

Had Dynamat, Z1 post MAF tubes, and Swift springs installed today. The post MAF seem to help more than I expected. I totally forgot that i had those put in also until i was driving home and felt the engine seemed a bit more responsive than usual. The car feels much more planted and neutral as well with the springs. The Dynamat didn't make a huge difference.
