construction...yes, thanks for asking. it's muddy this am.

my poor tires are dirty and will need to clean them off when i get home. at least this am i did not scrape.

they made a little ramp out of aslphalt here there was a step yesterday. i think either today or tomorrow they are going ot lay down the oil....wat a treat.

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)

Hey mr.zman.

. Yah, I've been thinking about the abarth but it wont be able to carry anything. I need utility... so this is why the mazdaspeed3 or GTI has been on my short list. I saw the new CX5 this am... not impressed. It looked like a hyundai.

I am not married/no kids so I guess utility isn't a concern for now

But between GTI and MS3, I prefer the GTI.

This is the 500 Abarth we saw at the car show the other day. Dealer guy started it up. Sounded pretty responsive!

ZCarMan's wife bought an Abarth - we saw it in person at the last meet up we had in Columbia. It looks nice, and sounds nicer! I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it fit my requirements on a vehicle.

let's seize the day!

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.

OFC!!!!!!!

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?

Mr.kenchan, if you are going for the Sonic, take this one:

Mazda3 is a nice one

Golf.... reputation of VW reliability ==>

I doubt anyone can feel a difference between 94 and 91 octane. It's just that, when I got my Uprev done, I had 94 in the tank. It donned on me before I left the tuner that I might have to use 94 octane all the time with the new tune. The Tuner said I would have to. So, I want to get a 91 octane map as a "just in case" I can't find a gas station with 94 octane... I'm sure I could use 91 on my 94 tune and just watch/listen for pinging, until I find 94 but I don't want the hassle.

OFC!

I thought you where planning on running 91 to save money. Don't know how low I would go with the compression our motors have but 91 sounds safe.

Fire · 04-24-2012, 04:42 PM

OMG I have to ask what is OFC? I hate to ask.

Dam I figured it out. Old Fart Club man a mind is a terrible thing to loose

94 is almost nonexictant in canada, we have 91, and works fine...

OH finally uploaded the Hypertech programmer, and put on my summer tires, 305/30/19 in the rear and 245/40/19 front

Im running 295 rear and 245 up front. You are def gonna want more tire up front. I wish my fronts were 265 to provide a tad more grip. Next time they will be.
