I agree with Rob, make sure you clear around your cars and fire hydrants so it doesn't form an ice block overnight. More snow is on the way also...

ahhh man thats an epic fail by the snow plow.. :facepalm:

yea its nice to have especially in PA (well NE in general) with the winters are harsh.

its tucked away in the front corner against the wall since my typical spot in the smaller heated garage is taken by some old vette i can't seem to sell and it's annoying me.

plus i think my father just caved today when he sat in the new vette at the auto show. i got a text saying "Fuck my original thought of waiting until august. the new vette will be home soon." :bowrofl:

I felt the same way after sitting in it, but luckily I don't have the money to buy it :p

Got stuck trying to get my girlfriend's car out this morning on a solid sheet of ice. 45 minutes and a ton of kitty litter later we got free only for her to get stuck again in Columbia after she dropped me off at work. More snow tonight or so I'm told.

Quick question - I don't *need 2 piece rotors on my rears right - just front?

*Accepting the fact that "need" is a relative term.

Looking at running 2 piece slotted DBA rotors in the front and 1 piece rears. Really crazy deal from R/Tuning (R/T Tuning?)

Satisfy your itch with a medicated cream, not an MDX.

dmhenderson 02-14-2014 10:17 PM

Anyone want my rotor covers? They're Slash! JDM rotor covers from Yokohama. They're currently powdered nismo red but they're annodized red underneath. $175 takes the set of 4. They won't fit on my new rotors I'm pretty sure.

They're $200 new assuming you can find them and I paid more to have them powdered:

With most of your stopping power on the front, you can definitely have good braking with the 2-piece fronts and single piece rears. You would save some weight off the rears with the 2-piece rotors all around. My recommendation would be to get slotted only rotors, not drilled and slotted or drilled alone. They have a tendancy to crack under hard use when they are drilled. Either way they look cool!

I think the MDX would make a nice winter driver, but not a good replacement for the sports cars. At least have one sports car in the stable.

This. It makes more sense to have one DD and one fun car, if you still want to have a fun car. The MDX is definitely nice though. It's the SUV I would get if I was going to get one.

Don't underestimate the difference a good set of winter tires can make either. You might have clearance issues if there is a lot of snow accumulation, but if it's just like 2-3" you will probably be ok.

Well guys. 2014 is here and were already working on some new thangs. The Z is moving to a 4" single exhaust with a dual 3" split at the rear. It will look similar to a dual center Porsche style exhaust.

The next is an aggressive rear diffuser. Im tired of seeing aggressive diffusers on other cars like evos and sti's and the Z not having anything. So tonight I made a quick mock up. Has plenty of revisions to come but just to get a general idea across here are some pics.

I'll buy a Jeep over the MDX, Jeep is more rugged than that thin a$$ Honda MDX although it looks much better and nicer than the Jeep. :twocents:

If you've been wanting a duckbill now is your chance.

eastwest2300 02-18-2014 12:34 PM

im gonna pass.. lol

dmhenderson 02-18-2014 01:21 PM

Oook so:
10mm spacers purchased so I can go 10/15 instead of 15/20
Project Mu HC+ pads purchased
DBA 2 piece slotted rotors purchased
275/30/19 305/30/19 Yokohama Advan Neova AD08Rs purchased
Quaife Diff ready to install

If anyone wants (before I put them up on the for-sale forum):

-Stock VLSD. Kingbaby said he wanted it but hasn't replied to my PMs recently: $400
-Slash! Nismo JDM rotor hats. They are currently powdered "nismo" red and are anodized red underneath: $175 for all 4. I paid $200 for them and another $100 to get them powdered. Not sure if there's a size difference between the nismo rotors and the sport rotors. Obviously, I'd let you test fit them.
-Qty (2) 20mm H&R DRS spacers: $75

I'm on the fence for these. Is the "Nismo" red the same as the 40th anniversary brake caliper red?

Yes. They were actually powdered to match those calipers. I have pictures of what they look like on the car if you would like to see.

That's fine for reverse, but what about my forward gears? What is the speed limit for straight ahead?
