I don't know about that...

I am sitting here, farting around on the forum, drinking coffee, eating banana nut bread and looking out the window to Battle Lake in the backyard. One last thing to do here before I go home -- taking care of 200 rounds of .40 over at the farm with my brother in law (FBI guy) and cousin. This particular Monday is not so bad.

Only 200?!

P.S. I can't believe they let you keep that arsenal! 200 rounds of ammunition? Who needs that much!

Good looking rims, mr. kensan.

Good morning all!

hi mr.gurney- thanks!

my G is my dressup car so ive lowered her and have 3pc SSRs. she sports prokit, d-specs, front and rear stillen swaybars, stillen heim joint camber rods ($), ARK Ti front strut bar ($$$), powergrid endlinks. she came out of the box with large wheel gap on the front and slow steering. she looks pretty now and drives tight...that's the way i like my G. she has no clearance issues on most of the roads here as long as i take it slow and on an angle.

as for my Z, she looks great at stock height and i dont sense she needs suspension upgrade for the roads around here so no plans lowering. i might do sway bars down the road if someone (powergrid) offers adjustable endlinks front and rear for the 370Z.

i want to be able to take the roads with full spirit, not slowing down over man-hole lids like cars that were tuned incorrectly for street. lol

lowering a car just because everyone does it is wat naive folks do. unless specifically needed, no need to mess with the suspension on the Z.

I miss my G some days but I only had a sedan. Morning Mr. Kenchan! Any new returns/ordering today?

HappyZmoke · 07-30-2012, 09:29 AM

Plastic dip the rims and handles.

Isamu · 07-30-2012, 09:33 AM

dude, those handles look great!

Isamu · 07-30-2012, 09:34 AM

my Z is an inprogress track car, so lowering and stiffening is needed...

but the occasional jaunt around town is fun!

kenchan · 07-30-2012, 09:34 AM

happyz- where's your car in the pict?

HappyZmoke · 07-30-2012, 09:48 AM

The crowning blow came when I hit an uncovered access hole (mini manhole), blew a tire and cracked all the paint on the front bumper when the car slammed to the ground and caught a ripple in the street. That was on Bissonnet between Kirby and Buffalo Speedway.

Used to live down there. Roads are all horrible. Westheimer and Richmond are the worst lol. Moved up north a out of the loops, much smoother roads.

Just dropped my 08 270 6mt/sport off with rob at Z-car garage in San Jose. Installing JWT clutch, dual pop chargers and full Berk HFC and exhaust with an uprev tune over the next few days!!! Parts have been on back order a few weeks and I am dying to feel and hear my new mods.

thanks, mr. gale!

ordered up a windcutter today for my tascam.

the factory windscreen that the recorder came with failed my wind test over the weekend. got saturation at 45mph with driver side window rolled (the recorder placed on center console just behind the cubby lid).

i drive with the window down in the cooler months so i need it to withstand at least 55mph.
