Half a tank is $30, constant-complain can be fixed easily:

That's what I think, I was using 94 during the ownership of 350z, switch to 91 later, and found no difference on either performance or mpg..

:pics: on the G with the new spacers plssssss................

hi mr.alcheng- i only have this quick droid shot. the spacers are on the front which tucks the wheel in by 5mm than before. primary goal is to reduce wind drag from the tire sticking out the front bumper at the bottom.

anyway, came home empty handed. i was going to test drive the 2012 Fit Sport in 5MT and if it seemed okay and price was pretty good, was going to drive it home. but weather didn't cooperate (or was telling me something) and sales guy was tied up with another customer, i didnt feel like waiting more than the 30min i was there :yawn:

We just need a few day's heads-up.

thanks, mr.alcheng.

definitely the nismo. :tup: honestly i dont like avantguards. cheap and heavy and offset is not right for the front on the Z. they work well for winter wheels on 350Z/G35C's though, probably.

I thought the 91 is good enough for the OEM engine mapping, and 93/94 if the ECU is remapped.

Right?

Mr.alcheng, No need to use 94 here unless you are remapped. I am uprev'd on 94 :shakes head:

Mr.kenchan nice spacers :tup:

happytheman 08-04-2012 05:48 PM

Mr. Kenchan, that G is looking :yum:

Now I'm curious to know the this elusive "edit" was. :)

GaleForce 08-04-2012 05:49 PM

Here is a short pictorial of my day,

Parking at work, 6:00 am. First test fit/use of my new windshield cover. Nice fitting product, good quality, highly recommended,

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/...s/1d7043cf.jpg

Returning to my Z after a quick 8 hours, I found a bird(s) had diarrhea all over my Z. The picture was taken at home,

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/...s/a2c4d864.jpg

With it being a holiday weekend here, traffic was über insane! I referenced this picture in my mind a lot!

http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/...e/38213867.jpg

Also there were so many speed traps and the temp was 40+°c with the humidity, the smell of cooked bacon was overwhelming! I was extremely hungry by the time I returned home.

8 hours to go, and life returns to semi-retirement :tup:

Fire 08-04-2012 05:52 PM

What a sh*t day GaleForce.

onzedge 08-04-2012 05:52 PM

Mr. Galeforce -- nice shot of your parking job at work, but your right front appears to be a bit over the line. :icon17:

The bird doo-doo may very well have been some sort of cosmic justice, but I am no expert in these matters.

I think you're right. I have to live as close to the rules as possible otherwise karma kicks me square in the nuts every chance it gets. One good thing is usually followed up with 3 bad things...

Seriously, I have to be very careful in everything I do. A little slip of the tongue here, a shortcut there and all of the sudden it's raining frogs or something.

Mr.kenchan, I agree with you on the AvantGarde. I saw the AvantGarde on my friend's Z and the front is a bit too much...

The Nismo does have a solid stance and quality..

There is a place in Midtown Sacramento that has amazing Poutine. It is called Kupros and is on 21st. The gravy they use is a beef short rib gravy that has a lot slow roasted short rib meat chunks in the gravy. One of the best starters ever. They have a "Pub Grub" section on the menu that has like 10 items and you can get any 3 for $10 and the Poutine is one of them. You can thank me later.
