Maybe you are following in my foot steps and do not realize it. Perhaps your good advice to me applies back to you. :tiphat: All the best as always

On second thought it must be the tires fault.

Don't either of you guys ever stop driving the Z the way she wants to get driven. :tiphat:

You're fist maybe. Though, I am wondering if there is some way to do the shocker :roflpuke2: :shakes head: And that picture makes me really, really, really want a FI exhaust. :yum:

I took a spin in the Z with Mrs.GaleForce :tup:

:icon18: it's Japanese car porn, thank you very much :tiphat:

:tup: for cruise with the wife

The Z is dirty and there's no time to do anything. Oh and don't switch jobs and buy/lease a new car immediately prior to refinancing your house :ugh2:

Bud.. you drive too hard...



Thinking about wax my Z one more time tonight.... :tup:

I warped with the stock set up at the track. Replaced the pads and resurfaced. Warped them again at the track, replaced the brake fluid installed ducting and resufaced again and still I came back from the track with less warped but warped rotors.

With new stock rotors I have barely used them since yesterday but the are not warped. I just passed 13,000 miles this week.

I also have about one month of front tires left, which all four were replaced at 7250 miles.

I sure feel like I could drive harder but all those cop cars say I am wrong.

Davey 08-16-2012 01:17 PM

LOL, 7,000 miles out of tires... You should get some kind of prize for that Mt Tam!

I did. They only charged me $1680 for new, and they kept the worn out tires. A mere $.25 per mile.

Full of win. If I can not laugh at this I'll just get pissed. So I am :bowrofl::roflpuke2::inoutroflpuke:

I think that is a specific sub-genre of Japanese porn called Sushi porn, which is anything with uncooked seafood :inoutroflpuke:

Where is Mr. Kenchan???

alcheng 08-16-2012 04:34 PM

Z related...

I ordered a set of Vossen last week, and the shop told me the offset of the new set if 5mm more aggressive than my current set.. :tup:

I am running 10mm at the rear right now and always thinking about adding another 5mm all around... so the new set will work out just fine... :tup:

The shop and I gonna see how it looks when the new set is mounted and decide whether another 5mm is needed... :excited:

This one is on my short list alcheng!

It's very nice looking and it does sound good, too. :tup:

Excellent sound... it has a deep drone at idle but not too loud, and from idle to 3500rpm it sounds perfect... once it gets to 4k and up.. it goes a bit high pitch...

Cruising at 60+mph is not at all a problem cos it's actually quiet... :tup:

Price is very very good, most places list them around $1300 to $1400.

The vendor here actually sell it at a much much better price... :tup:

He was already getting tired of the forum (think iggy list)... Maybe the post from Triple was the straw that broke Mr.Kenchan's back?

I do miss him.

happytheman 08-16-2012 05:36 PM

Just checked, and he hasn't posted since he claimed he put himself on the iggy list on the 14th at 9:33pm. I think that was his last post. :crying:

If only there were some way to reach him, but he was such a private individual. I doubt anyone knows his contact info.

Thread relevence: I'm getting tired of waiting for my Evo-R lip. My wife just said "OH! We got a package!" and I got all excited. It was just a bunch of beauty supplies for her. :(

Dunno, but it's making me re-evaluate my decision to get it.

Davey 08-16-2012 08:41 PM

I think kenchan will be back. He loves his Z too much to leave for too long. At least I hope. :)

Still didn't do anything with my Z today. So, what I did with my Z today was nothing. It's still on-topic! :D

gurneyeagle 08-17-2012 06:20 AM

Good Morning All! :tiphat:

It's been an insane week at work, and I'm ready for some Z time! :happydance:

Looks like there's a road trip in my immediate future. Pics will follow.

Have a GREAT weekend! :hello:

gurneyeagle 08-17-2012 06:23 AM

Oh................one other thing.

Just because mr. kenchan isn't posting doesn't mean you slackers get to sleep in! Where is everybody?

mr. happy report.

mr. gale report.

mr. onzedge (I know you are up mister!) report.

mr. kenchan may be lurking, so make him proud. This is what you've trained for! :icon17:

Nice Top Gun quote. Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash.

Anyway, good morning everyone. I am doing nothing with the Z's today -- I am teaching my famous application overview class in our office for new clients and will be taking the Juke. Tomorrow I am driving the 370 down to Santa Clara to deliver a presentation at an operations management conference. It's a thrill a minute, I tell you.

Well-if it's not raining tomorrow then at least you get to drive the Z to and fro-yeah ;) that's worth something...

Actually a Top Gun misqoute/paraphrase. "This is what you trained for, make us proud. That movie is really 26 years old?

Good Morning ms. blackcherry. :tiphat:You look lovely today (in my favorite Eddie Haskell voice!) :rofl2:
