The 370Z makes the list of cars with poor visibility.

Shocking!!!

Cars With the Best and Worst Visibility

Saturday I decided I was going to do a pad swap to conci quiets (I got from a killer trade from a good pal Hotrodz) . Started on the front right, pulled out one pad and noticed it still had LOTS of pad left. Put it back in and said fk it, i'll keep em in for a little longer and do a swap + fluid change next spring. :rofl2:

I've had about half the vehicles in that list, and came close on a few of the others :rofl2:

Am somewhat surprised the Toyota FJ Cruiser didn't make the list. About the worst rear and side visibility I've come across. Much worse than the Wrangler that did make the list. In fact that's one of the reasons I got the Wrangler over the FJ..

worst than our Z's? the big side mirrors do slightly make up for it though :shakes head:

Been a long time since I drove the FJ but yeah I'd say worse for sure. Toyota dealer gave me one for one of their 24hr test drives, and I brought it back a couple hours later. Ginormous blind spots, dinky little quarter glass like the Z, and it sits high enough that you can't see anything in the immediate vicinity from the sides or back whatsoever.

Don't see the FJ on Toyota website so maybe they stopped making it; which could explain why it didn't make that list.

Looks like they may have it deservedly at #1 even though they don't say that.

Simple mod, but put in a GTR Start Button last night! Took just a few minutes.

The only thing easier is changing the map light lenses to the GT-R ones. :tup:

Thanks for the input! I'm planning on it. Just got lucky with finding the GTR button on the forum for sale for cheap hah.

What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)
 
The UPS guy brought me some Nismo side skirts! And some bicycle tires...

ChopsZ 08-30-2016 11:30 PM

Oh, I totally forgot!...

My Aero Workz carbon front lip came in today! Still sealed up in the box. I'll open it up tomorrow and take a few pics. :cool:

Why haven't you been able to? I got mine through Vivid Racing, though the dude I ordered through no longer works there.

Slow to no response to emails. For a month all he's had to do was check eta and run my credit card through for the order. Apparently that's too much to ask.

Actually it's over a month :shakes head:
Originally the CF lip should have arrived to me this week.

Is it Xavier who no longer works there?

I finally got a pair of R2C dry filters for the stock intakes! Ordered from the vendor Tunerz_Store here on the forum at a fantastic price. Excellent ordering experience as always :tup:

I was thinking about buying them, but for now I'll stick with standard filters and just replace them frequently.

New Tires!
 
Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06! I luv buying new tires! Ready for my fall road trip to the Ark Orzarks!

A little over an hour ago, put in an order for a pair of Motordyne ART pipes for my Z to go along with the HKS exhaust. :tup:

Just looking at those yesterday. Need new rears for some (ahem) unknown reason.
Definitely good tires.

I made this buy base on the actual experience of people here on this forum. Not just opinions. Tire Rack has the best infor and actual tests the tires.

I have the firehawk indy 500 (the re760 ) and it's not as fun as the re11.

Re11 or bust really.

FML...one of my front tires got a one inch gash on the inside sidewall, caused by a small patch of broken concrete with exposing sharp edges, just a few houses down from my drive way. Perfectly good RE11 still has almost 7/32nd tread life left, now going to trash instead. Limping to DT tmmr for a set of RE71R tmmr morning. 275/35 and 285/35 this time.
