I gave you a birthday rep already... But I'll save the official happy b-day wish for tomorrow. ;)

Yeah, well, mostly garaged ghetto style. It's only safe to take the Z to work on Saturdays, so I stretch it's legs once a week... :shakes head: I'll have my life back soon, another week or two at the most then I'll get things going again :tup: The bad thing is, the longer I go without the Amuse kit painted, the more time it gives me to think about doing a colour change :eek:

Right -- work and Vegas are two words that do not belong together.

Not if you don't want to... :tup:

Happy Birfday!!


On a Z related note, the car made an uncomfortable sound yesterday in an uncommon situation. I was pulling through first and second on the frontage road of I-35 in preparation to enter the highway, when someone pulls out across three lanes of frontage road and gets in front of me. I slam on the brakes pretty hard just before shifting to 3rd, and the car makes a loud and very unnerving metallic rattle while I'm at about 6500 RPM in 2nd. I would not have expected ABS to engage, I did not feel it engage through the pedal, and I certainly have not heard it make that noise when I've triggered it two times previously. :icon14: Any thoughts? I'm not really interested in trying to recreate the noise, so I may just be taking it to the dealer. :shakes head:

Yeah, so the wife and I were bad last night. I almost didn't make it in to work this morning. No drinking for me tonight :( But definitely let me know if you make plans.

Did you get the video off my server? If so, do you think it's ok as is, or should I just remove the audio altogether?

Follow up on the rattle - I think it's my intake. I popped the hood and one seemed a bit loose compared to the other, so I'll wrench on it a bit this evening. I was not looking forward to taking it to the dealer, so hopefully I can avoid that.

You live in Austin? Damn I didn't know that. I was just partying on 6th street a few weeks ago.

HAPPY BIRFDAY!!

Well, I can't imagine you didn't have fun, so come back sometime :tup:

Bring the Z and we'll do some driving, or just bring yourself and we'll do something else :stirthepot:

I can't even try to download it, my net says 6 hour wait time. Jesus. Go ahead and post it up if you have a YT account I suppose. :)

And you, turning down drinks.....wow! :p

New AD 08's came in.

LunaZ 07-25-2012 09:16 AM

Just got back from Fargo late last night.
Cool little town. No wood chipper incidents. Everyone is so friendly!
Even spotted a 370Z downtown.

Back to whatever I call my normal life here at home until next week.
Might even use my AK... I mean drive my Z. I think it's gonna be a good day.

6 hours :eek: What is your d/l speed? I just checked my server from work and it estimated one hour. I don't have a YouTube account :p How about I put it on a USB drive to give to you tonight maybe?

I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm turning down drinks. More like being a responsible adult. Because honestly, I don't think I would turn one down if it was offered :icon17:

kenchan 07-25-2012 09:21 AM

JAR- which intake do you have again? (haven't been up to speed).

but any aftermarket intake, it is a good idea to tighten the hose clamps every now and then. even my simple HPS + stock box setup required retorquing. i swapped to t-bolt clamps a while back and even last week i just made sure the clamps were snug.

D/L speed is whatever Time Warner decides I deserve for $50/month lol. I don't even know, our area has been horrible since we moved there.

You have to have one with me tonight, no matter what.
