Finally upgraded my stock tires to some wider tires - BFG G-Force Comp2 A/S. 245/45/R18, 275/40/R18. I guess new tires are slippery until you break them in, right? I hope so because I heard these were pretty sticky.

A lil burn out helps. I tried them before and i was unfortunately not impressed with them. Scrapped for indy500s.


Re11s discontinued. Cries. Re71r... for street feels... bit overkill

Just woke my Z up from winter hibernation of 4 long months.
Removed the car cover, pulled the battery tender and checked all the fluids under the hood.
Then climbed inside and turned it “on” to check all lights, gauges, flashers and power are working fine.
All systems good to go - pressed the “Fire-that-Mother-Up” button and it roared back to life, purring like a tiger.
I simply sat there and enjoyed the sound for a good 20 min letting it warm up.

You’re probably saying to yourself “but you’re in Minnesota you fool (or just another fool from Minnesota) and you just had 6” of snow overnight, winter isn’t over yet. What are you thinking?!?”

Well, I’m leaving Saturday for a multi-week drive to Florida … then out to Utah. Tomorrow I’m having new tires put on (giving Firestone Indy 500’s a try) and also having tranny and diff. fluids swapped out with Redline products.

Wish me well!

Lastly, ordered more iJDM Toy goodies, panel LED lights for map lights and regular LED for rear cargo area as well as LED licence plate lights.

Well, I got half of my day's project done. Ordered two Bazooka tubes from the same place at the same time, and only one showed up. The second one never shipped. Called Amazon, not only will the second one be here tomorrow (free overnight shipping), but they extended my Prime renewal a month. I really can't complain I guess.

Wired in series for an 8 ohm load currently, so 300 watts running to it. Once under the floor and all of the carpeting reinstalled, it sounds damn good. Hits harder, extends deeper, can feel it through the car more since it's physically in contact with the metal floor of the car (makes it seem bigger and stronger), and once tweaked a little, blends better with the front stage.

The other one just showed up. I'll install it tonight at work after we close.

Today could have been warmer, but it was warm enough so I had 4 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires put on my "Z". Now I just need to wait for it to get warmer.

And here it is. I'll just have to do some minor tweaking over the next couple of days. So far... DAMN! And I'm not referring to sound quantity either, I'm referring to sound quality! Listening to some Marcus Miller and all of the detail in his bass is there. Anywho... I probably should go into the "audio" forum and do some write-up there about it.
