Yes. I still need to get an oil cooler and change brake fluid before I do though.

What do you think of the z1 ss brake lines vs ones like Goodrich or stop tech?

Ni55anPat · 03-21-2013, 02:31 PM

I would go with z1, priced good....i would think SS lines are all the same?

You would think, but them I have some people say the Goodrich are better made. Who knows

JB1 · 03-21-2013, 05:31 PM

The Z1 lines I have look like quality pieces, can't see how (and why) the Goodrich ones can be twice as expensive. The Z1 lines also have a vinyl coating over the steel braiding. keeps dust and dirt out of the braiding and protects suspension parts the lines might rub on. (stainless steel is harder then aluminum...)

Did you already sign up for a track day? I'll be at Autobahn on June 3rd with MVP

Not yet. I'm meeting with jimmy from gps tracktime on sat to discuss a deal for track days. Then I have to look at my schedule and see what I can do

Hey Pat, I see you may pick up a Stillen SC for a great price.

All the best to you. Hope you get it.

If you do get it, I know we have yet to meet, but I have dibs on the first ride. As a passenger of course...........unless you're in really good mood.

Good morning boys.

It's impossible to communicate with that dude.

I have somebody that can pick it up for me but waiting for this guy for the supercharger.

Yeah this year we have been very far from average in march. But based in forecast it looks like things will improve soon.

Ni55anPat · 03-25-2013, 10:54 AM
