Eek: on new tires. Ugh. High$$$ Just takes seat time and trusting the car to stick. Race tires on miata make a huge difference. Get better in the beater then maybe compete in the Z. Ha!

Been a long time since I update this, but I am glad I found it...
I post something in the general about having cash and trying to decide what to do with my Z. Its a great car, that is fun to drive the way it is. Which has made the decision whether to mod it or leave it stock. Mods to day clear bra -- hood/front/left fender/mirrors seibon carbon rear wing nismo sway bars had the rays painted gunmetal Waiting to arrive Recaro, Universal, Cross Sportster C seats I like how they look in the NISMO, felt good so order some, of course no airbags.. In thinking stage on Fast Intentions 370Z long tube headers 370Z TDX cat back exhaust Stillin generation III dual intakes Also need another set of tires, just waiting to wear the current set down to 3/32, then Michelin will prorate them and help me pay for my next set of tires. Going with the Michelin Pilot Super Sport -- I like them and on tire rack they just beat everything my tire size is Front 265/35 19 ZR Rear 305/30 19 ZR And they always look great with no spacers, lots and lots of comments so starting

Two exciting things today, so two posts.
I have had problems with the paint on my car, black cherry gets scratchs out of no where. The roof has been pretty beat up, I have called Nissan at times stating my displeasure. But no action. Well a couple of weeks ago I opened a case and they told me to take it to the dealer again, so I went to there dealer body shop and got an estimate, in talking to the adjuster I had two spots on the roof, where the clear coat had bubble. What she said it was from in inside, not the outside. which was odd. So I called Nissan, they called the body shop, got a call and they are going to repaint my roof, on them. Made me happy. ![]() The last picture, is what bird crap did to the roof so after it's painted, need to find protection
