Laugh now funny man! The Black Suburbans should be pulling up outside the house any time now. :tup:

Too late. Both of your electronic finger prints have been loaded into my database here at Langley....er Houston.

Sorry ms. pint, this was a loyalty test that you failed miserably. I had a drone follow you, JAR, and the other GM Z on your little cruise. mr. JAR can handle a car pretty well. I may have a little "job" for him down in Venezuela next week. I guess I need to find out if he's ever done a HALO (Google it) jump before.

Carry on citizens, carry on.

I agree, it needs rims BADLY, I hate them. A drop would def be nice too.

Everyone cant have factory RAYS, Ken :icon17:

oy... *kenchan hides behind shrubs*

hahaha :icon17: they couldn't done RPF1's :icon17:

:( wah wah wah

speaking of slow cars, why are the impreza NA 2.0's so frikken slow? :( as a hatch i thought it looked pretty good. all the reviews say they are super underwelming...

AWD causes more parasitic loss than RWD or FWD... Other than that maybe gearing. I was going to say heavy but I checked and it's actually about 2900 lbs, which is surprisingly light.

There was a FR-S autocrossing with me earlier in the month - it looked pretty nice (wheels were decent) and got good times.

yah, they dropped the weight and also the powerband from the previous gen. which is fine, but the fastest ive seen is 8sec 0-60mph time and that's probably with a tranny shattering like glass launch with a 5k drop. :ugh2:
rolling start to 60mph is 9.5sec :facepalm: how do you manage living with a 10sec rolling start car when they're asking for $22K?

2K more and got a mazdaspeed3 tearing up the road with sub-6sec launch.

EZ- you need to get some new glasses or contacts or lasik before your next mod. :icon17:

:icon17:

Haha... It's a trap. Ackbar.

luna- hahaha, classic. :icon17:



so for my Z, i ordered up a grab bag for my gopro. :p

Yes it is :tup: I'm very pleased with it, though I wish I didn't have to use so much gas to hear it regularly :icon17: An exhaust sure would help, but its on hold for a while.

Thank you, sir :tiphat: Funny you should mention: my cousin just finished up his sophomore year at Va. Tech and is currently in his first week of two of jump training :tup: I would love to do something like that myself, but some training would definitely be in order prior to doing a HALO jump :icon17:

Yes! :icon18:


Nearly doubled the mileage on the Acura (to ~750) today as I took it to Tennessee Colony, Texas (don't ask). Wife took the Z to work, since I knew I'd be driving some dirt roads. Got back and stopped by the office to find my black fuel gauge cover from Simota :tup: He was nice enough to send me another one after the first one got lost in the bowels of USPS. I'll post pics after I install later this week.

here's the deadcat. :icon17:

Nice

Of course a user named SCRUFFYDOG would like something called a DEADCAT:bowrofl:

:icon18:

i should make deadBIRD. :stirthepot:

im finding that this olympus mic sounds better when placed up-side-down.... werd. but my mount can accommodate his. :p

Headed down to give the interior some Meguiars love. Let's see how it turns out. :)

Edit: Nevermind, going to the baby brother's birthday dinner instead.

Meow, that's a nice mic set up!

Nice one Luna :tup:

Evening folks. :hello:

Today I removed the painters tape I used to temporarily hold the carbon fiber interior bits while the small amounts of adhesive set. Turned out excellently. Now I need to find time to snap some photos.

Waiting for a shipment from the Z store... More goodies :yum:

thanks, mr. gale!　:tup: been doing too many mic tests lately....2 months straight almost. hope this is the last of it. i know for sure the tascam in the cupholder works very well, just trying to free up some space up front.

sounds :yum: :tup: :excited: for picts.

It does sound :yum: I wish i could devote more time to my poor Z but family comes first, business next. My to-do list is not getting done fast enough for me. I've given up on finishing the car this summer, I'll get everything done this fall/winter and be ready to enjoy next year :tup:

Are you still looking for new wheels for your Z?

Why are Mexican family get togethers so loud and embarrassing? :p

but they are always fun :)

I like a fun bunch! :tup:

:icon18: Dead Cat??? It looks more like my Great Uncle Luther's toupee.

Only 1/4 of my family is Mexican, the non-Mexicans are equally loud and more embarrassing.

Nothing with the Z today for me. I got most of my lenses, flash, body and filters in my Pelican though. I apologize for the cruddy Droid shot.

I made a little road trip to Dallas Texas to do a mini photo shoot with forum member Dallaz needless to say I think everybody will like it Dallaz will post up pics in the gallery section soon!!

Hey where is the Remove Rep button? Anyone?? ;)

I fit 4 OEM sport package-size tires in my Z today. Not safe. Would not recommend. The worst part was I took a turn sort of sharply, which made the 3 tires in the front shift left - one of which leaned on the steering wheel. Rubber tire + steering wheel = no turn, mid-turn. Almost hit someone.

However, I got to the garage in one trip..

That looks absolutely insane man, I'm glad your still alive:bowrofl: you seriously had hardly any visibility

Yup, it was pretty crazy!
Here is a video proving I could actually shift. The door was not shut, but it definitely shut (just barely). Really could only use your wrist muscles to shift while using your forearm to make sure the tire on the center console didn't roll forward.

:tup::icon17:

That's nucking futs! More pics? I was questioning if this was even possible three months ago! Unbelievable!:tup:

They may be loud and embarrassing, but can they make a Margarita? When I went to Mexico two years ago I couldn't believe how bad the Margaritas and Mojitos were. :shakes head:

I know you love your Margaritas, so gimme the skinny Ms. Pint!

One of my uncles does, the rest, no. It's either straight tequila or beer. :shakes head:

Yeah, here's more: (passenger headrest was removed)

yah, especially with the little one im sure there's not much time to spare. :)

hope you get your body kit painted, etc this fall. :tup: yah, ive decided to go with the nismo's (not the s-tune) and not the SSR's this time. main reason is that the nismo's are at least 3lbs lighter and less bling vs the MS3.

speaking of MS3 as in mazdaspeed3, i am pretty certain to get that in the next month or so... maybe late Aug just in time for kids starting school. the G's been great for dd-ing but for kids pickups every other day, it's a tad big of a hassle and can't carry anything. will still keep the G though and use as dd in the summer time until i am certain to retire her completely. :p
