have fun with your Z.

which 3pc did you go with? i was about to pull the trigger on the SSR MS3's but decided not to for the Z.

Hi Mr Kenchan

I plan to have fun...Z withdrawl is rough

I was going to go with SSR as well...the SSR MSI professors but I am giving a company called ISS Forged a chance. Been good comments on them, they are stateside, 4 week wait...there is a thread about them in the wheels section.

You wont be disappointed in ISS Forged. You made a great choice!

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.

Glad to hear you stayed out of the wood chipper

Dropping my son off with wife's car (by wife's aunt to babysit) back home to switch cars to do 2hrs worth of errands in about 4 hrs

Also about to put down a deposit on 3piece forged wheels

defintely most expensive mod to date...and I'm supposed to be in "debt repayment mode" but couldn't resist.

Nice! What wheels did you decide on?

Idk

I did go out this morning and tighten the brackets at the throttle body on the passenger side. The ones around the cones are perfect - I think I realized exactly what you said about the softness when I installed them because they are snug but not too tight. On my way to lunch, I tested out some heavy braking in 2nd at 6500 RPM and no rattle. But it was a crazy enough sound yesterday that I'm not completely convinced that my 30 sec fix corrected whatever it was that caused the noise.

thanks, jar!

im going to keep the 2.0i sport-premium as my choice #2.

hope that rattle doesnt come back. was it a metalic sound rattle or more dense/lower frequency sound?

Very metallic... higher pitched for sure. Not quite sure why, but that makes me more wary than if it were a lower frequency sound. Are you thinking about something specific?

metallic, huh....hummm... well there's really nothing on the intake that would make a metallic noise unless the post-MAF tube is hitting something.

i removed the front strut bar when i installed my R2C long time ago, same with when i did the post-MAF tube. could the bar be loose?

you should see some of the dumbarse solicitor photo's my camera sends me via email.

if i see them more than twice, their face gets emailed to HOA as we do not tolerate solicitation in our community. then it gets sent to village police.

I hate solicitors, and I think half the time they're just casing your house to see if it would be easy to rob.
