I'll be able to give it a good cleaning later this week. For now the Z is back in the warm dry garage I was going to fill up the tank to make sure the Fuel senders are working properly but I remembered that I want to run this tank out so I can put some 91 octane so I can add a 91 octane map to my existing 94 octane map, just in case...

Good too hear they made a small ramp for you. Sucks about the oil. At least it will help keep the dust down.

Have you ordered the Sonic yet?

Mr. Kenchan, if you really want a small, economical hatch, check out the fiat 500 abarth. The more I read about it, the more I like it. It seems to have the that "fun factor" in it (similar to old GTI and Mini S)

Ran my Z to the dealership, getting my fuel senders replaced today. Took the techs some nice donuts too. I know when I was in similar type of work, the little things like donuts were always appreciated.

Mr.GaleForce, I think Steve has done his pre-celebration by buying the Recaro seat... LOL


Good afternoon Z fellows, I didn't have a chance to drop by here early today, was in a health care function promoting eyecare information, was production and fun giving out business cards...


Mr.kenchan, sorry to hear the G is getting all the dirt on its shoes... Hope you will get it all clean up tonight

Mr.GaleForce, do you really notice a difference between 94 and 91? Or you need to re-map the ECU to do the trick?

I like it. Oh an important step I always deglaze the pan to get up the good bits on the bottom and create a sauce. I try to use a stock that matches the meat but also will use a very small amount of water if no stock.

Howdy guys! Just thought I'd drop in before stepping back to work.

Question: Why do Hyundai Genesis owners swap their badges for some nondescript ones with wings?!

I think that's the actual Genesis symbol, I'm not sure they swap them.

Similar to the Corvette sign instead of the chevy one.

Yeah I parked next to a souped up genesis the other day at pizza hut. Dropped, blacked out 5AD wheels, exhaust. I gotta give it to him, it looked pretty nice. I noticed that wing emblem on the back. The owner came out, a guy in his early 20's, and actually laughed when he say my Z. Then he got in his car, burned his tires, and took off. I was like wtf was that about?

I believe the original Genesis simply had a Hyundai emblem. It was a later model that they gave the Genesis its own emblem. Therefore, some have them and some don't. Although, if I had one w/o it, I would definitely swap. And its way sexier than a maxipad
