What did you do with your Z today III

onzedge · 04-18-2012, 09:33 PM

A small Z gathering si shaping up at my house this Sunday -- Curtis (ZForce) and maybe Hal so far. Anyone else in Sacramento want to come by -- Sunday is always coffee and donut (when Z's show up) day and all Z's welcome. Colin and Taylor (sons) are grappling with a noisy oil cooler on a 370 and a minor revving (not repping -- that's my problem) issue on the 240.

Nice! I haven't been among more that 2 other 370's at one time

Hopefully that changes this summer and more of the 370 guys come out from hiding!

Mr. Onzedge....how often do you drive the 240??

I was driving it every other week -- alternating with the 370, but stopped about 9 months ago. The 370 is more civilized and easier to commute in, if you can believe that. The 240 takes a bit of work to operate and can be a brutalizing driving experience that makes the 370 on Koni/swift seem like a 1978 Cadillac El Drorado.

But, I am putting her back on the road this weekend -- I am having an idling issue and she does not want to rev past 5500. A little TLC, timing and a carb sync will do wonders.

I will be in Sac this weekend. I have a house warming party to go to in the affternoon but I might be able to stop by in the morning. What time are you guys meeting up? If it is too early I might be too hung over as I will be working/drinking at the "Taste of Elk Grove" beer, food, and wine festival. A good friend if the rep for Mendenceno Brewing Company so I poor at beer fests a good amount during the spring and summer.

Late morning -- you should come by. Do you still have my number? I would love to see the paint job.

Yeah, I still have it in my PM inbox. My number has changed though. It is now an 805 area code. I will call if I can make it.

Coffee and donuts! Why must you live so far away?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!

What a cruel world we live in.

I got 2 this summer...but both should be a blast...the food will be epic, both Italian...although one girl is marrying a Filipino guy, so ya, still lots of food! 7 courses minimum lol

Oh I put up pics of the sickspeed bolts in my journal.

I swear, I don't think my journal gets any love cause I don't have fancy rims lol.

Regarding radar dettectors - does anyone have any experience with the cordless Escort Solo3?

SOLO S3 - Escort Inc.

I'd much prefer to not deal with a cord, and I don't want to hard wire the detector into the car.

Thanks!

Have no experience myself, but several friends of mine have nothing but good things to say about it.

Hello, Mr. Gurney. I have no experience with the S3, but have a great deal of experience with the S2. It is a very capable unit. Although I use a 9500ix now, I keep the S2 for use in rental cars and occasionally in the Juke (when my wife lets me drive it).

As far as hassling with the cord on a corded unit, I agree that it is a bummer to deal with the dangly, curly thing. So, I installed a Stealth cord for the 9500ix. It taps into the power and ground lines that go to the rearview mirror, if you have the Homelite unit. It was about 11 dollars and powers the unit perfectly. I hope this helps.
