Snail is not making me a happy customer. They've had my wheels for a month and they said they won't be finished til Saturday of next week at the latest. Wtf. The powder I chose wasn't in stock, so why the F didn't you order it when I picked out instead of waiting til now to order?

JENZ

Wtf. What's the point of keeping your rims there if they aren't ready to even do the work. Sorry this isn't working out well. I heard great things from the mini community about them. It's so hard to do business with small locally owned businesses when they pull bs like this.

Trust me if they say thats the latest they will take till that day..............I sure hope mine are ready tomorrow. That was the "latest" they would be done.

Tazicon

They told me I could pick up my rims at 1 so I called at 1, they hadn't even shot the wheels yet...........they say they will be ready before the end of the day but that probably means I won't have time to get my tires mounted and will miss taking the car out to C&C in the morning. Oh well

JENZ

Oy vey

I got them, ran them over to the tire shop, they put the tires on even though I got there at closing. They look really nice and it seems like they did a very good job. I do believe it was worth the wait. It just tough when you can't drive your car and it's sitting up on jack stands for so long. I will post pictures later on, oh and send photos from Canada!

Tazicon

This weekend I will be back under the Z working on the brakes again. This time only 10k miles since I had the rotors turned...........I need to try new pads or something but keep it DD friendly.

I know Jenz was struggling at the track, here are a few vids of my car and a buddies car making a pass. Had these in my journal, thought it might help here. I would have gone faster but my O2 sensors were wired all assed up at the time (I didn't know yet). I haven't seen very many Z's get deeper into the 13's stock like they do at other tracks. Idk if it's elevation, heat, track prep, idk. Even a lot of cars that run 12's were averaging mid 13 passes. The GTR's could care less and were snapping off 11.2 -11.3 passes.

Anyways, I launched at about 3500-4000 rpm and seemed to work well. My car had LTH's, HFC, CBE, pulley's, CAI, oil cooler, no tune, and stock tires, didn't adjust pressure, just pulled up and ran it. These were last year on 28 April.



Here is my buddies Z. He has lowering springs, Berk HFC's, Berk CBE, AEM CAI, no tune at the time.

You guys are getting some pretty good launches. That seemed to be the thing that was getting most people when I was out there.

Your wheels look good Taz! Hopefully mine are finished by the end of this week. Anyone want to do a lowering spring install Friday morning? (; jk I might take them to miller spec, Kert quoted me $150 for labor. I think I'm going to pony up, so I don't have to do it in this heat.

Tazicon

That's not bad in this heat I would say its worth it. Hope you get your wheels back soon. Other wise I wouldn't mind helping out. I won't be back in town till Sunday though

Infamous

I agree, it's worth it completely. It's way too hot to be wrenching. They said Saturday at the latest, so I'm giving them til then. Hopefully it'll be Friday after I get the springs installed though.
