What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

SurfDog · 12-15-2013, 09:26 PM

I just had my second (track) set of 19 inch rays straightened (they were a bit bent when I found em at a used wheel shop). It cost 100 bucks a wheel to have them trued.

Then, I replaced my totally torched stock rubber with some brand new Continental DWs
(255/285s). These are going to primarily be track wheels. I'm hoping for good things from the DW's.

The black powder coated rims with new rubber look so good, Its almost a shame to mount them up. All that new, sticky rubber will soon be balled up into marbles and flung off into the grass! I really need to bolt on a camber kit to try to help them last a bit longer.

DW's suck on the track. theyre ok, but get that slimy feeling after a few laps. also, soft sidewall does not inspire confidence!

Drove my Z to work today. Hope to go out and hit some twisties later if the wind stays calm!

Added a removal tablet to my cubby hole today. Can take it out and put that lid back in at will, so it's not sitting in a parking lot screaming "steal me!!"

I've been meaning to do something like this as well. Removable and appear like OEM. I'd personally like the tablet to recess more into the cubby hole.
I like your setup since it appears pretty simple and clean.
Looks good!
