I forget, but what did you outfit your rear with?

Edit: Wait a sec, according to your siggy... It's Hankook! :)

More like "its Hankook:(" :bowrofl: I really thought the fronts were gonna be good enough so I cheaped out and just bought rears. I have been lookin at my drivers side front as a measure for remaining tread. This weekend when I removed the passenger front I noticed that it is much more worn than the drivers side. Now I feel the need to replace the fronts. BUT im def ready to upgrade from the Hankooks so if I end up buying a totally new set now Ill be :mad: at the $ wasted since I really wanted to upgrade:shakes head:

At the begining you can hear a slight exhaust rattle so I didnt totally eliminate the prob but it was much worse. Thats the only time it made a noise yesterday though. Enjoy.

So you like the mic and positioning under the car? I could not hear the exhaust rattle and the mic sounded excellent. No audible noise/hiss from the mic as others had reported. I take it with this clip the mic was in the cabin? Windows up or down? Stillen CBE sounds great,running stock cats. :tup:

Just now repped ya :tup:

Cool, can't wait to see some scenery outside of the USA. Please make sure you give a background marker to show what part of the country. :tiphat:

Not sure I'll let him again, we almost died when he tried passing. Eek!

I ran that up into my trunk, thru the car and out the drivers side door. From there tucked it into the hood and plugged it into my GoPro which was on my hood attatched with the suction cup mount. In reality I can mount the camera anywhere I want though:tup: Did you see the quick vid I posted?? It will give you a great idea of how good the setup sounds:tup:

Ahhh...just now saw this post..Dang a 25 ft mic cord and it did not loose any signal strength. Great job, in my previous post I was referring to the mic. Your adaptor will work, just need to find one without purchasing the X-grip. Probably search B&H photo for the adapter. Thanks rep'd. :tup: Feel free to post up some more videos, would like to see and hear more. :tiphat:

Btw: your vacation sounds great, if I had the time off, the $$ and a motor transport I would be out to Z Days in a heartbeat. Everything ready to go with the Z or do you have some final prepping?

ZForce 05-06-2012 11:13 PM

:hello:Night Z fam

Will catch up on reading backlog of pages when time permits or may not..haha.

Hopefully everyone had the opp to stretch their Z legs this weekend. Looked like ideal weather all around.

Ideal Sunday night: dinner, t.v., relaxing with fam and at least four Z visits to the garage.

I had hopes of stretching the Z legs this weekend but as it turned out just some local city putting. The bro is still building up his endurance for longer drives and corners...Patience grasshopper ;)

I'm a little tired after running 3 miles today. I was testing the degree to which I've recovered from the Flu. I think that i'm about 90% back. Now, I have to see how well I can do my P90X routines. I should be okay. :ugh2:

Glad you're feeling better!

It was a great drive and almost completely empty! We ended up at Horseshoe Bay, a very nice community on the lake. I was disappointed in the lack of sports cars out there though.

Hope you all had a great, relaxing Sunday. Good night guys!

Nice picture Mr.Alchemy!! :tup: :tup: The blue really stands out in the pic!!

The only thing... I will suggest... is photochop that white sign above the roof.... cos it makes the composition like something got stucked on the roof... :ugh2: :icon17:
