Negative. Just as she sits in the garage. Weight and road conditions have to factored in.

Again bro if you want to protect your under side you ought to consider maybe like a 1" lift in the back and a 1/2" lift in the front? Just saying.

I appreciate the advise. But my DD is a 1994 Miata MX-5 that I've dropped and has less clearance than my Z and I get around in it just fine.

By no means am I saying that things can't go sideways, but that's a risk I'm willing to take else I wouldn't have bought the exhaust.

Nevertheless, thanks for looking out for a bro.

I'm lowered on Swifts and have not scraped my can's yet (knock on wood). I'm just careful over large bumps where I know the rear is going to squat. Clearance seems to be on par with the local Fast Intentions guys.

Now that's very interesting and welcomed news. Swifts or ARK GT-Fs are a mod on my radar. And like you I'm careful over bumps and non-optimal road conditions. In fact, I only drive her on roads that I'm familiar with. One of the benefits of a DD, I can pick and choose when and where I driver her.

I on the other hand have started scraping my ark exhaust after installing swifts, but roads suck here in PR, plus some of the dips and speed bumps on the road are huuuge. But yes, being extra careful has helped me get you through 90% of the bumps and dips encountered so far :tup:

Took the Z for a spin and met up with a buddy for dinner and a beer. Loving the weather this week.

Scraped as in "highly noticeable when viewed from the rear" or "you hear it, feel it, but have to crawl underneath her to see the damage"? Neither is good, but hopefully it's the latter.

jchammond 08-06-2015 01:45 AM

I'm gonna repair that "French" tire on the R/R of my ~Z~ today,,,been super busy.

Its more like "oh, cr@p i scraped the whole exhaust and my world is now over and have to buy a new exhaust" kind of feeling and sounding scrape. :eekdance:

But in reality its not that bad, definitely not noticeable unless you get under the car :p

Trying to stay on topic: I ripped the door panels and center console out for audio install the last couple days. Also have some side blades to install this weekend.

I have to wash mine tonight. Car is properly filthy after yesterday's 5 minute rain lol

I miss Ocean Beach. I lived in SF from 1996 until 2001, and spent a lot of time out there, as well as at the Cliff House, Beach Chalet Brewery, and the Sutro Bath ruins. Cool vibe, for sure.

Nice :tup:. How is Memphis treating you?

Born and raised here, so it's truly my home. I love Memphis! Lot's of growth and I've got a great quality of life. Plus, it's still relatively inexpensive to live here.

Sorry if I didn't get a chance to quickly reply and take control of the situation as I have been extremely busy. I am a person who has a lot of patience - everyone on the forum knows this. I have thick skin and I tolerate things way beyond any other admins in similar forums. As you know from this forum, it takes A LOT to get someone banned. I like to give someone benefit of the doubt and still give chance to come through. But when all those chances and my support toward a member or a company ends up being a huge issue and us (me and mods) spending countless hours cleaning up threads/removing post (where we could be spending that time with our family) and countless members hard earned money was put into jeopardy (I still don't know whether everyone got their money or part back), I will NOT bring that company back into my forum or anything to do with that company. The day I removed GTM/Sam from this forum, GTM/Sam is done from this forum. It doesn't matter whether the company has been renamed to Alpha or Beta or Gamma Motorsports -- it has no business coming back into my forum. I'm not a person who likes to go back and forth on things. I will take my time making a decision (my late decision to remove GTM/Sam etc) but once decided - it's final. There's no going back and forth.

I would like to warn and acknowledge everyone to refrain buying product from a company(GTM/Sam) we have banned on our forum. Do not discuss their products on our forum. If they have new products, you're welcome to buy from their website/other forums and discuss them in other Z forums etc or call manufacturer directly. DO NOT discuss that stuff here. We are not responsible for ANY money lost or engine blown or issues that you have with that product or company or person. As a matter of fact, we reserve the right to close/remove that thread and give you a warning for posting such thread/post.

I apologize if I sound harsh but I have lived though that nightmare. My mods and admins have lived though that nightmare. I'm not going through that again and that is my final word.
