Installed H&R springs on my Z today.

Sacrificed my front bumper because some idiot was too busy smoking his e-cig to pay attention to me slowing down on the highway due to traffic coming to stop. Saw him just In time and was able to swerve the Z in the closed lane( I always keep 2 car lengths between me and the car in front when having too stop on the highway) and bounced a cone off the front right side of the bumper. More like destroy since the cone got ripped in half. The truck skidded to a stop where my Z was just 2 sec before. Would rather have a scuffed bumper then being rear ended like that. Been through that once and it was not fun.

I ran over something on the freeway and have two pieces of steel sticking out of my tire.

ive had a pair of cuticle scissors stuck in my rear tire... which started the painful chain of events... mount marks
on my sport wheels at tire store during repair.

make very sure your tireshop has nontouch (touchless) tire mounters BEFORE you hand them that wheel.

Do you trim your cuticles now?

i was driving past a convenience store only like 1/2 mile from my house.... i hear a click-plunk! noise and i knew immediately i got a punture on the rear tire.

i could feel the car getting looser and looser as i approached my house. i got out of the car and hear hissing.

25psi it read.. and immediately took the wheel/tire off the car and took it to a local tire place to get it patched. and started the mess.

i should've just plugged it from the outside.

Finally debadged the stupid Lexus badge they put on the car when someone traded it in, picked up some oil and filter, ordered some gloss black wrap, and ordered a FairladyZ emblem to replace the 370z emblem. Will post pics of what I wrap and the emblem

I had an early evening with Mr. Onzedge. I heard about his recent Z run with about a dozen other 370's. I am jealous.

Unless its the look you are going for, I'd skip the drilled rotors and just stick to slotted.

Z1 makes a nice kit for this, I too made this upgrade!
