I like the bright wheel look -- not chrome bright -- polished bright.

i can't believe the ninja modder Kenchan has yet to take care of that-i would be freaked wondering when it was going to happen-you better get on the ball there fella

Mr.kenchan, I honestly like the NISMO wheels better, cos 5-spokes concave is my personal preference.

But... I will suggest you stay with the Weds since it adds personality to your Z.. which is a good thing...



The camera bag....

ill see later next year. Lots of new models coming to the market (golf, mini, fiesta st). i want a car that's practical and reliable but also fun to drive. ill keep in mind that fit will not be made in japan anymore.

Is your fit 5 speed?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
the fiesta st wasn't available this summer so i didnt take a look at that, but the normal fiesta with the bells and whistles, i did. yep, mine is 5speed. it revs high on the expressway but mpg is still around 40mpg on the gauge. i get average 33-34mpg and more when i do my weekend drives. lol

Kensan you should stay in the light. Stay away from the dark side. Since putting mine awy I bought a CAI and SC overdrive pulley. The kewl thing is that they do not require a tune and add 75 rear wheel hp.

What can I say... I'm a procrastinator I've got the piece to make it, but I was originally looking at replacing the shift boot and put it off. Also, there's not really a gap because the desert eagle shift knob is so tall and I have it screwed down pretty much all the way. I'm ok with how it looks now, but I'll probably do it on whim sometime down the road when I want a little change. I've got the DIY printed out and organized in a binder

I like the nismo wheels and I'm usually a fan of darker wheels. I think the difference in the lighting in the two pictures is throwing me off a little - I want to see the darker wheels in a little more light.

I really don't think it was that big of a fiasco. Yea, it was irritating that he thought the original black backing would be acceptable, but he found a solution and provided a free replacement to those who needed it. I'm inclined to give a forum sponsor a little more leniency, and I understand that stuff happens, especially when its a new products being released to the masses

I"m about to order a set but he's going to leave the backing white so I can paint it, and not attach it to the emblem so I can send the emblems off to get black chrome finish.

With regard to just the Z badge emblems, if Simota says the emblems are quality I'm inclined to believe him. I'm not sure they've got anything else I really want. Do you have specific experience with poor quality from them before? Either way, I'm sure you have your reasons
