Hi kenchan, I think your input would be good here:
Review: Whiteline Front anti-roll bar

I like hearing all the little gizmos and pumps and buzzes and noises from the hood / clutch / car when going hard... it's what makes the Z what it is.

I'm in serious withdrawal after 2 days of not having the car... On a positive note the appraiser is going in today and the work will be done by end of week.

now if timing decides to be perfect and my intakes get to my door before the weekend...

been hitting refresh in my email for an update... so looks like the parts will be in either friday or tuesday. uhh lol interesting...

atleast they are in the mail! too bad the exhaust wont get on until next year... but intakes will be slapped on for a few weeks of induction noises.... it's like christmas!

*does an anti-snow and obnoxiously cold temps voodoo dance ritual*

hope you get your car back soon.

as far as my Z is concerned, i dont want this car to be some luxury car... the Z was a barebone basic economy sports car back in the days. i want to keep the theme. this is why im going with the minimalist setup on this car... and she drives real nice.

yah, just be careful with the clamp torque because its difficult to tell tightness when you install clamps over the hoses in the frikken cold... come summer time it could loosen

one of the reasons why i dont do mods in the winter.... things get brittle!

unless you have a heated garage.

heated garage introduces all sorts of other issues..

Yea probably won't be until end of week/saturday but it's all good! I rather the shop take their time... the guy also said he'd touch up the inner door trim that had a few chips and some scruff on the side as well for free. Great workmanship, work ethic, and does not cut corners.

That's what your G is... kinda like a refined Z... ish.. .kinda... lol to be fair I went and added some luxury to it to refine the sound system and reduce some of the road noises but I do love how raw it feels when you drive. How you feel every little dip and jive. The dirt kicking up behind you, the rain dinging your body, the air being all aero...

I didn't buy a z for a quiet/smooth ride... i would have got a lexus =P

my G35C? naw, not refined at all for 2014. she is my dress up car.

she drives nice though, more traditional car feel which i like. newer cars feel more and more numb.

ill get me the new is350 when im ready for AT.

until then, im just going to drive around my G.
