have fun out there on the left coast!
I ran a set of the Advans on my last ride and they were good, but not great. Also, don't hope for long tread life. I chewed through the Yokahamas like no ones business.

I believe it cause I have like 300 miles on them, granted I am pretty aggressive, its already showing wear.

Nice chops!

Hey I washed my G... started raining while washing so I had to hustle. But got it done and my G is looking great again.

Also fixed my hose reel that was coming apart at the guide... wat to do with the $70 I just saved? actually paying towards new spaces for my G....

Good that you can stay with your original plan, and save the extra $2k you might have to spend if you go to Bahamas.

Good afternoon everyone


Coming back from holidays is no fun... lots of things to go after...

Luckily the helpers are helpful, the store is still in one piece...

Z related... the rainstorm on Wed night dirty the Z pretty badly... gonna see if I can wash it over the weekend... 5 days to exhaust installation, counting down now

Thanks man. Yah, always nice for things to go off as planned. We would have easily spent the $2k and had a great time. I'm sure my wife would have partakenn in the "trainer for a day" experience at Dolphin Cay. Me? I woulda frolicked all day in the lazy river. Atlantis' lazy river is second to none!

No garage for your Z?

Can't wait to hear your new pipes!

Hello Mr.kenchan

If driving through rainy day won't dirty my car, I wouldn't hate it that much..

Did you get new tires aka PSS for the NISMO rims or they comes with the rims??

HAHAHA! mr.alcheng if road salt was good for the car i would be motoring all winter too.

i wanted to get the PSS, but i found out early on that 285/35/19's aren't offered by michelin. the nismo wheels being ET23 on the rear, i wanted it closer to the rear arch to minimize gap, so i just went with the AdvanSport for now. ive seen base running nismo's in person and i liked how it fit so just copied this time to minimize risk.

the thing i read about RE11's was it tends to flatspot easily so i was hesitant to try it especially since my Z sits in the garage 5days of the week. it will most likely be the next tires i wrap if not the S04's in the 245/285 configuration.

im going to wrap the Weds with PSS next.
