:iagree:

I stay off those boards, unless you want to hear "hella flush" all day.

EDIT: that's the problem with kids, they get a rwd <3000 lbs car, so what do they do.... they try to make it >3000 and completely ruin the geometry of the suspension.

Just started my new job, trying my hand at compensation so I've been crazy busy. Been driving the Z to work, it's a great feeling to finish work knowing such an awesome car awaits for the drive home!

I hope that you are posting this from your new job, using your new job equipment and on your new job clock.

Hear me when I say that it is extremely important to get management's expectations set very early.

Anyway, congratulations.

I haven't done anything to my Z today other than let it cook in this 104 deg. weather. I did just order some Swift springs and rear camber kit. So that should make things all better.

Now how to get it HELLA FLUSH...hold on I am going to ft86 I will be right back.

Nah, I think I'd be fine DDing either. S2K is still really fun. Yeah it is a lot slower than the 5.0 but it's still really fun to drive. It's not like I'm stuck in a Corolla or something. Plus thinking about my own garage with a lift gives me big hard on. :bowrofl:

I know exactly what you're saying. I've had wood since you reminded me of that portable lift. :bowrofl:

I'll post pics when it shows up. :tup:

any know if they sell metal valve stems (non TPMS) for either the sport 19's or nismo 19 wheels? :confused:

are the valve stem holes in the wheels a special diameter or anything?

Nice! I'm still waiting for my cup holder mount thingy. I did come up with an idea to mount the mic with the GoPro. I just need a thin piece of metal to make an L bracket.

:bowrofl: hahahaha!!!

looking at the prius wheel in the guys' blog, i think factory wheels use this one.. 409 or the S409. it comes with 2 grommets and is a reverse mount type like the TPMS valves (nut on the outside of wheel...dangling and such). :)

Today I mounted on the rear hatch glass. I'll check the video later to see how it looks. I didn't care for the distraction it caused while looking in the rear view mirror.

The 409/409s look close. Are you not going to run TPMS on the new wheels?

JARblue 06-29-2012 04:03 PM

Man I'm behind for being gone a couple of hours. Went to Trudy's with the wife to celebrate last day on the job. Apparently we might be celebrating even more - we're at the Acura dealership letting them appraise the Honda after test driving an ILX. A 2.0L 150hp car is not quite what I was expecting but it's really a decent little car. The wife is quite pleased with it, so I am as well.

PS Gale, I asked the wife about Grandma Stranger - definitely hesitant at first but I think I could get an ok after a night out on the town if I feed her the proper beverages :icon17:

ahh! looking forward to your vid. did you try using your zoom as a mic/preamp? :)

considering the rattles i get in the audio from the headrest bars, i think that's a good location if you can get enough front view. since my audio input is from the tascam in the cupholder mount, there's no rattles in my audio, but when i plug the real sony mic with a L-adapter i hear rattles. it's not too bad but just annoying.

yah, i think the 409 should work. i dont like running TPMS and i currently dont run them in my WEDS. so yah, i dont plan on running in the new set.

JARblue 06-29-2012 04:04 PM

Lol @ rep-love fest!!

I was curious about the ILX. I used to like the Integra and RSX. I'm just miffed that the manual transmission is only available with an option set that puts the MSRP up to 30k minimum :mad: eff you, honda.

I didn't try the Zoom today. I wasn't prepared with a mounting solution yet. the audio will be week :shakes head: I was more interested in testing the location for the GoPro. This was the first in cabin trial. Hopefully the cup holder mic mont thingy will show up next week. I'm jealous of the almost same day service you guys in the U.S. get with e-shopping.

Did you do anything about the TPMS light on the dash? or do you live with it?

i think you can wrap the zoom with a towel and stuff it in the cup holder until you get the mount. :tup: that's wat i did until the satechi arrived. works pretty good, just looks like crap. :ugh2:

naw, i dont care about the light. it flashes at me when i start up but it's fine. :) i suppose i could put e-tape over it or something if i do more driving at night and it's bothersome.

Hmmm, foR some reason I figured you would have had some elaborate plan/fix to rid yourself of the horrible TPMS light ;)
