Almost forgot, all I did with my Z today, so far, was watch it get wet. Hoping to be able to dry it off and do quick detail spray before end of day...

Then again, could just be you got the wrong inspector on luck of the draw...
I didn't go to my usual shop since their reader was down. I gambled and went to another location of theirs and got shafted. Even the lady at the front desk told me that their shop sucks for inspections. She couldn't tell me that before hand apparently.

Found out that Bojangle's packs their fried chicken in a box that is able to withstand sudden turning maneuvers. Box flipped all over the place and nothing fell out!

Went to the track and watched porsches, gtrs, camaros, stangs, rx7, audi r8 go at it for a while. Met up with carlitos Z there, both eager to go in but it was not our time :shakes head:

Next month, yes, next month we"ll be ready :tup:

Finally replaced my spark plugs. Not as much of a pain as I thought it was gonna be.
Took it out for a drive after I finished and it sure felt strong. Passed a pokey jeep and hit triple digits quite quickly. :driving:

Well I just quit my job after 9 years. Tired of all the deployments. I'm just going to go to school and use my GI bill. With my benefits, I should just be able to go to school without having to work :tup:. So I figured since I already have another vehicle, the Z could go.

But I love speed so I can't see going more than a year without another sports car. So I'm going American muscle next time. Vette, used Viper possibly, hehe :driving:

Sounds like a good plan. :tup:

On topic post:

The shop that installed my Centric Posi-Quiet brake pads a few months back also had to turn the rotors. Now I have vibration when braking. They inspected them yesterday and I was told to invest in slotted rotors as these pads are getting too hot and my rotors are beginning to warp. This kind of has me thinking that they just don't want to try to fix anything under warranty. Z1 advertises the Centric's as "easy on rotors."

Made my own custom rear "z" fog light during this weekend :tup:

Pintsize, I was actually going to ask if I should just have my rotors turned and get new pads OR get the blank rotors Z1 sells and get new pads.. Decisions.

Damn, so sounds like I shouldn't get my rotors turned or buy posi quiets.

My stock rotors have been pulsing for awhile. Was going to go route you did.

Get new rotors + pads.

Glad to be the guinea pig lol. If I can make it long enough on this set up, I'll probably grab the brake upgrade kit when Z1 has their annual X-Mas sale.
