I just do not like a car I cannot hear and I think the Stillen sounds good and healthy. As far as the wheel gap, changing it might be a tough sell to Mrs. onzedge.

Had a long night. A fevered 2 year old = no sleep for anybody. He's feeling better now and running laps around the house. Mom and I feel like a train ran us over . We're happy our little dude if feeling better though.

Hopefully I'll be able to sneak out for a quick spin in the Z this aft. I'll go out to see if I can get some quality products (locally) for me to perform an oil change. I have a question for those of you using a magnetic drain plug. Any concern about having a glob of metal shavings breaking off the magnet and into your system? Its the only downside that I can see to using a magnetic drain plug.

It is not a bad ride. It handles fairly well and is very zippy/peppy around town. I am happy that she hates auto trans -- the manual makes it much more fun. The first mod is a cat-back, probably the Stillen, and after the break-in period.
Mr.onzedge, I always respect female who drive manual... they really know how to drive.

Yeah I noticed that nobody had posted since my last one and was going to say so...but I'm the first poster sooo often with my coffee antics I figured I'd let someone else nab that glory!

Coffee has two virtues: it is wet and warm.
Thanks happy, LOL,
I will keep the stock ride height right now since it's my DD and I don't want to have a harsh ride otherwise I'll look like this ==>

Hey Mr.GaleForce, I went to tires23, the price and services are very good. Look for Eddie, he looked after my friend's 1M and my Z.

sorry to hear gale! glad to hear your kid is doing better. hope he recovers fully soon and you and mom can rest as well.

i dont use any magnets on my oil but since the car will be pouring out oil when you undo the plug, chances are all the shavings will pour out with the old oil?

GMORNING, mr.alcheng! lol
