The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) II

m4a1mustang · 12-08-2012, 12:30 AM

It's good. Taking it in to the dealership tomorrow for a valve adjustment. I'd do it myself but it's still under warranty so I figure it's better to take it there to have the work documented.

Been spending a lot of time lately figuring out exactly what I'm going to do with it. Mainly sorting out my summer tire setup for it next year. Probably going to run 225/245 PSS on 17x7.5 45 and 17x9 63 TSW Nurburgrings in bronze... should look good on red.

Also planning on Bilstein PSS9 (or possibly KW V3) coilovers. I think the PSS9 is probably the more street friendly setup out of the box.

Lots of other little things planned here and there.

Very nice! Looks like Onzedge already scoped out your PSS statement.

I told my wife I'd like to get one as a DD, and she was all like "what's an s2000"?! I waited for five minutes of traffic to pass, then pointed one out!

How the hell could she have missed noticing them before?

Yep.

Mr. Onzedge has his account set to email him anytime someone posts PSS or Pilot Super Sports... it's like the subscribe function

Like Mr. Onzedge I am a PSS believer. The best street summer tire available, IMO. Sure there are some more hardcore options that have more dry grip but none can blend the same dry/wet performance, ride quality, and longevity like the PSS can. Worth every penny.

Yup, I've been extremely pleased with mine so far!

The trouble I'm having right now is finding a winter setup that will work with my OEM wheels. OEM is 215/245. I'm thinking about doing 205/225 or 205/235. Whichever gets me closest to the F/R height split.

Running on medium right now, but that is because I use windowed mode with a lot of other progs running on my left and right monitors. There is no widescreen support at the moment.

Rig:

- Core i7-2600K @ 4.5GHz
- ASUS P8Z68-V/Gen3 mobo
- 16GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600 (4x4gb)
- 2X 2GB Sapphire 6950 Dirt3 Edition cards

The game is really taxing. Sometimes FPS can drop a lot in big battles. But I know windowed mode is probably the worst way to play for system performance.

powerful video cards you got there. I'm building my machine was going to do 2x 1gb cards. should I get more? modern programs/games are much more needy
