You can get the replacement studs from Z1.

Good Morning All:

Killer Z weekend with The Woodlands Cars and Coffee followed by the best cruise our group has tried to date. Only incident was a lost GoPro that somehow fell off along the way.

This will be an intense but short week. Friday, ms. gurney and I head off to the Wilderness Lodge at Disney World for our annual Christmas trip.

No Z action for several weeks. Once back from vacation, I'm off on a three day business trip. Fingers crossed that my brake upgrade - powder coated calipers, cross drilled/slotted rotors, stainless steel brake lines - happens right before Christmas, just waiting on the cailpers.

Have a great week all!

Mr. Happy thanks for the spacer offer but Mr. Gurneyeagle gave me some advice on the spacers. I'll have to pass for now.

Great pic Tracie!

The only point I was trying to make to ms. pint was that most National tire shops - Direct Tire, Discount Tire, etc. - will not work on cars with spacers. Unless you can locate a shop that will work on a car with spacers, you need to be prepared to remove the tire yourself in an emergency.

I found this out the hard way on my way to work (the one day I needed to be in a suit for a meeting) and hit a pot hole that blew the tire.

I knew you had a bad experience with yours. I did, however, find it humorous at the coincidence!

Going to be in Kissimee then for your vacation, eh?

Good morning all!

Morning Gruney, and Happy

It's nice and mild here today. I will be playing in the garage today after I finish up with my fatherly duties

Morning Kids!

Morning guys!

I think I might have found the solution to my luggage crisis with the S2000. I need to fit a weeks worth of luggage for two as well as a lot of MAZOC club equipment, and it certainly won't all fit in the trunk. They don't make S2000-specific trunk racks anymore and the ones that are out there on the used market are rather bulky. I think this is the best solution:

It uses a pad similar to those hardwood floor rug pads to provide a high friction surface for the bag. It could still damage the paint, especially on the trip back when the car will be dirty. So, I think the solution would be to apply a large sheet of 3M paint protection film to the trunk lid for the pad to rest on. This will prevent scratching and swirling completely.

Good morning, everyone. It's a beautiful day here in Clovis, CA. We are headed down to Ruiz, the makers of El Monterey frozen burritos, chimis, taquitos, etc., down in Dinuba -- the most happening place in CA.

Have a great day. I wonder what they are feeding us for lunch.

Maybe they'll feed you their latest product, Mexican inspired Swiss Waffles

I have one of those for the Miata. It works quite well.
