I also like your mirrors and would like to do something w mine. Oh and a ducktail spoiler! Lol sounds like I already have my list

Has anyone here installed a short shifter?? Ive heard it can actually hurt the trans. I dont mind my throw as it is but it wouldnt hurt to shorten it up a bit. Thoughts?

hahahaha.

im good with the power the Z provides now although sometimes i wish for more. it's more fun to drive a quick car fast than a fast car slow.

im not a big fan of short shifters. i think the stock box is fine, feels better with just the Nismo knob though.

my mods for next year is pretty simple. i'll do something with the wheels and maybe wire up some polk components finally. if i end up with a tad more aggressive offset for the front i have the JNext fender trim on order so i might/might not decide to use them.

where did you order it from? It seems like everyone has that kit, mostly the fake one.

directly from amuse themselves with the help of the guy that works on my car.

first it was delayed because of you know, earthquake and tsunami. then it got send then they lost the package somehow.

they wanted to send a new one for free but I would have to pay for shipping. the guy from the tuning garage paid for the shipping out of his own pocket and now its finally almost here.

And I don't give a damn that everyone has it. according to amuse themselves this is the first vestito in europe.

In 99 degree weather? Nothing

FromG2Z · 09-07-2011, 09:57 PM

Wow.. I get busy for 2 days and I miss out on 4 pages...lol.

Ken glad u sold ur racestoppers. I have stored my toy cars in the winters for the past 9 years by doing nothing except a simple oil change before storage. Then once the first snow hits, she just stays parked. Gets started once or twice a month then rolled around in garage. No flat spots in tires or any need for fuel stabil. Is fuel stabil even necessary? Oh also she gets trickle charged all winter.

Z wise today, drove her then will get her prepped for tomorrows last big car show for the season.

yah, i too been kinda in and out from this forum now that im kinda starting to wrap up for the season. spending a lot of time in my music room. i pressured up the spares on both the Z and G yesterday and did all 5 tires on the Fit as well.

Flatstoppers, if you have a set, is very convenient. it's nice to know that the tires are off the cold concrete during the winter too. it's a 'place the car on them and forget about it' deal. i dont start the car at all once in hibernation cause it will introduce steam inside the midpipes, oil temps dont get that high, premature cycling of the a/c, etc. i use to start the car and move it around in my garage, etc long time ago but it's too much hassle and introduce more bad than good.

as for stabil. i dont use it. my hibernation isn't really that long. 3months average, 3.5months max. i suppose if you must park the car for a long time like over 6months i would consider using it.

Curious to see how the handles hold up. I saw a 350 with painted handles and the paint was scratched away quite a bit.
