I thought so. How long did it take to get to Mendocino? I tend to just drive to Point Reys, get bread and turn back. That is about 40 minutes each way.

Hope you like that 5 minute stop light on Hwy 1. It is part of my daily commute. It is the second time they have placed it there. Should be removed by June.

If you are making that drive again I'd love to drive along in my silver Z and make folks see double.

It took almost 5 hrs, because I was sightseeing.

I really need to upgrade the sway bars, springs and maybe tires on my Base Z - it was definitely not holding up well during spirited driving, it felt a little soft and the steering wasn't tight/precise.

How do you like your setup? any suggestion for me?

I love my set up. I would replicate it if anything happened to this Z. I would like to be lower at the track but the public roads around here will not allow for it.

I am about to do brakes but you do not need them around here. The stock set up is fine.
