Just also take that into consideration.

His springs are still settling it seems. He said he noticed it had dropped a bit at ZDayZ after driving it on the Dragon.

Well that's good. His still looked like a 4x4 when I was at his place. EW's and mine were significantly lower.

Susan and I drove Madwi's Fit. Very comfy car with some weird amenities. Quite, decent power when needed, but very vague steering that had dead input and floaty handling. It was literally identical to driving my old Civic SI. So yea...

If you ever decide to sell your Z, I want a crack at the steering wheel.

My birthday is in beginning of December...

Thank you Madwi, it’s actually called the stripper lights. Inspiration from Las Vegas! Lol

Decent power is the one thing it does not have and the sole reason I want to dump it. Some different wheels and tires will help the floaty feeling. Of course the steering is dead. Can't expect much. To say a Fit handles like an old Civic SI is more of a compliment I think.

The car was very rarely driven after the spring install. In fact, it sat almost all of last year. It did in fact settle a bit while at zdayz. I was thinking that maybe that pop we heard pulling out of Killboy was a spring on the back. Not sure but when I looked this morning everything appeared to be in its proper place. Musta been my fat *** sitting on passenger side for once leveled the springs

Power and handling? Hahaha, yeah it has none. The game I play in the Fit is trying to see if I can get better gas mileage today. Not because I care about gas prices but because it is a basic commuter car getting me to work and i'm bored

I actually forget there is a Sport mode and that the save the world hippy button (eco mode) can be turned off.

Dont count on that. For some reason they wouldnt let me register for next year while I was there.

Every time you post your sweet ride, at a quick glance I think it's mine! 2 magma red Z cars is a little too awesome for 1 forum!

I'm not sure that's true. Lets see here... I bought:

My Z
Z1 Intakes + Intake Upgrade (modified crash bar)
63mm Throttle Bodies
Z1 Ported Upper Manifold
Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers
Fast Intentions Cat Back Exhaust
Shift Knob
TWM Short Throw Shifter + extension
RJM Clutch Pedal
35 Tint
Z1 Bushing Inserts
Z1 Poly Trans Mount
Sound Deadening in the trunk
20 mm spacers all round
Zspeed Aluminum Undershroud
EcuTek Tune

....and I still made it to Zdayz! I think you're slacking!
