I got a screw in one of my tires like 6-8 months ago that couldn't be patched so I've been swapping plugs once a month since then. Most recently it's been losing 15lbs a day and I haven't been able to go over 65mph because the car would shake almost uncontrollably. So, I found these Hankook RS-3's on tire rack for half price. ($159)Unfortunately I had to drop back to my stock 245/40/19 size rather than the 265/35/19 that I had on the fronts. If anybody needs sticky tires you should jump on this deal! 140 tread wear and highly recommended by auto cross people so I'm going to give them a try.

over the years dust and the detailing spray got in between the vhb's weak spots that weren't making full contact with the bumper and the entire cf piece started to sag about 3mm. that might be okay for most folks, but that's 2mm too big of a gap for me. so decided to remove it and reapply.

this time using a different vhb tape i bought from amazon. $38 or something for the roll. :eekdance:

Nothing out of the ordinary. My Invidia exhaust is still sitting at the performance shop. Has been there for a month. BONUS: It's being put on and the car tuned for no cost to me, and I still haven't had the opportunity to get it over there.

Well, to add: this last weekend I was testing some vinyl samples for a series of cars I'm wrapping. My Z looked like a patchwork quilt for a couple days. :icon17:

Hey the acrylic paint you used on your emblems.....how has it held up? Any peeling or bubbling?

Held up great. Used a clear UV protectant. funny you mention because I stripped them this weekend when doing the vinyl.

EDIT: going to also debadge the 370Z letters (since everyone calls it a 380Z, 350Z, and a Porsche anyways)

Yes. I have a 40th Anniversary Edition. There was only 1000 of them made and they came with red calipers, graphite wheels, red leather interior, touring with sport pkg, no navi (US version). The exterior paint is also special to this model. It has a hint of purple in the there in the right light.

I'm a day late. LOL Did a trackday yesterday. Moved up from Group 1 to Group 2 Solo. Now I'm with the semi fast with no instructor. :D Next time out. I can go to Group 3. The fast crazies. :eek:

roy'sz 08-14-2013 04:02 PM

kenchan 08-14-2013 04:18 PM

I installed my RJM Performance adjustable clutch (well last night) but because of the rain I finally got to try it out today. What a difference!! much smoother, and easier to drive. Tomorrow a.m. I am off to R/T Tuning to have the car re-tuned, cant wait to see if they can do better than the last shop!
