That's playing hard! When buying my Z, I knew what I was getting into as far as tyres were concerned. The week I picked up my car, I labeled an envelope "tyre fund" and put it on my dresser next to where I keep my keys. Every day when I come home from work, I make a contribution to the envelope so that I'm not worried about the price tag when it's time for new rubber. I love having a job where I get tips!

hahaha. those secret funds are called hesokuri in japanese.
i too have a virtual maintenance fund where it accumulates each month automatically in my bank account. basically the lump some for me just falls into individual mini-accounts inside my allowance so i dont have to worry about anything. like money for dining and misc, gas money, car parts/maintenance fund, new car fund, music gear fund accumulates separately. this is why i dont discuss about buying a new car or car parts with my wife cause it all comes from within my allowance. she doesn't care. |

Very clever to plan ahead. I am going to Sears point Infinion Raceway for the Jim Russell School on how to drive your own car properly. My tires were below the tread limit so the timing was perfect. The chances of getting 7250 miles out of these new tires will be reduced by my track day Aug 20th. Their advert: PERFORMANCE DRIVING PERFORMANCE DRIVING SCHOOLS You’ve invested a lot in your sports car. Why not invest a small amount in learning to get the most out of it? The Jim Russell High Performance Course offers the opportunity for you to explore your and your car’s limits while getting feedback from expert drivers in a safe and controlled environment. Whether you’re into auto-crossing, rallying or just touring the open roads, this course is designed for you. Open to high performance cars less than 10 years old* (Please call regarding possible exceptions). Convertibles must have rollover protection for driver and passenger.

That sucks, I have the same issue with the stock exhaust but much worse. I think its some sort of bracket, brace, or packing inside that came loose or broke off. I hope you can get it fixed or replaced.

Thing is, that section of the exhaust was removed, and the sound replicated with out it attached to anything. *EDIT - I sent THMotorsports another email with the video i posted above and this was his response. "Hey Ryan, After watching the last video you sent me. Have you tried pulling out the silencer to see if the noise goes away? Please let me know, it almost seems like the silencer could be the culprit. Also, warranty work will be handled by HKS Japan that is correct. The item would be shipped to them and then inspected and shipped back over. Please pull out the silencer and see if it resolves the issue. Thanks in advance, Rob - Customer Service 1-800-959-0145 customerservice@thmotorsports.com www.thmotorsports.com"
