Once I fix the rod end the car will be fine again. And hopefully I will be less dramatic. :|

If I do sell the car I'll cut you a deal.

Unless I sell it for a '11-'12 GT500. Then my parts are going on that car and I'll be right back to bitching again. But I'll have 600+ hp at least. :bowrofl:

I had to avoid a huge pole (:bowrofl:) that was in the middle of the highway at 75 mph today. The Ventus V4 ES hankrap tires barely held on.

They make the car FUN FUN FUN in a controlled environment because it slides and drifts and puts a huge smile on my face... but I think it might be time to put Super Sports on it. No more drifting. :(

These aren't that bad for an all-season. They actually give decent feedback. Grip is limited but in my case that's good (for fun).

I think Hankrap tires in general are probably ok on a light car, but on a heavy car like the Z they stink. I hated the side wall flex when I was running V12s on mine.

Now when it comes to summer street rubber I think PSS. They would be great on this car!

yah, for me, i'll spend my money on bridgestones, michelins on my hobby cars. :) i think after all these yrs buying all sorts of different tires (less korean brands) i've come down to my 2 favorite brands.

Same here. When buying new tires I stick to Bridgestone/Michelin for the most part. I'll branch out when necessary. For instance, my winter tires are Dunlop and they are very good.

I love the 370Z because it is so much better than the 350Z that I had...

But it is my Wife's car....

WTF....I am starting to agree with Kenchan....Now I am really confused..

FYI. DO NOT let another woman in the car before you wife..That could cause you to have your Nutts glued to your chest while you sleep..

Morning y'all...

So I've been depressed about cars since I have a broken $25 part on the 5.0.

Been looking at:

'11-'12 GT500
E92 M3
E90 M3
335i Coupe
535/550 Sedan

I think *if* I ever sold the 5.0 it'd be to get something more practical and suited to driving every day. I'd keep the S2000 for sporting fun. But whatever I bought would still have to be connected and fun. The 3 series is nice but probably small. I do like the previous generation 5 series quite a bit. A CPO model is not too hard on the wallet.

i think im going to look at a xB for me... i need a box dogdamit. :mad: (not at you mustang)

USA is a big town. :icon17: got everything.



i was thinking about the 2nd gen.... oh? they quit already? :facepalm:
i guess i will need to look at mazdaspeed3's then. :wtf2:



i know. :icon17: ive been to NYC and buffalo and other parts of cow tippin' NY. :tup:

i see... that kinda sucks. but i think mazda's also discontinuing the current uglyface mazdaspeed3 pretty soon as ive started seeing picts of the next gen miata's and stuff with that skyactive or watever theme.

which does bring me to the focus ST. but im not a ford guy at all. and this neighbor a few doors down is a ford fanatic so im not sure if i want to be friends with this guy... he's kind of a crazy guy :icon17:

Then Fiat 500 abarth ;) (though not very practical)

i recommend replacing the sending unit first and see wat happens. cluster is a simple circuit and LED's dont blow this early in the game... they are diodes, not bulbs.

although the very short wheelbase will ensure my kids' bicycles can park in the garage. :tup: im trying to kill several birds with one stone...

perhaps a cooper-s.
