Maybe it is the fault of the Pilot Super Sports.

hmmmm....maybe it is the Pilot?!:tup::p

Thread relevancy: drove my Z today. Like a girl. :shakes head:

This is an impossibility due to you having a manual transmission -- like my wife who refuses to drive auto. It takes work to keep up with her when I am following her driving the Juke.

1. How are the roads in Your area?
2. I wonder if its spacer related?

The roads are hit and miss in terms of quality. Mostly they are decent to good -- at least the ones upon which I drive. Spacers? I have never heard of spacers causing an imabalance.

Spacer lips have been know to crack so I wonder if the wobble generated by that can cause balance issues

You know, on the filter!

No actually don't use too much it will cause problems if it gets into the intake, but you probably already know that.

So I didn't do a damned thing with my Z today so far and I probably won't do a damned thing with it later either because I'll get home too late, so let's see... On topic: I thought about how I wished I could drive my Z today. :ugh2:

:icon18: someone is speaking form expirience here!

Yes I do drive too hard, in the estimation of others.
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.
