Well I installed my HFC today and let me tell you that freakin demon bolt or should I say bolts on the top driver side cat really pissed me off not to mention slowed me way down!!!! Then I started her up and heard this hissing sound. Didn't know what that was thought I had a leak and the guys at the shop had no idea either because they have never installed a F.I. and Berk setup before! Then I called Tony at F.I. which is an awesome guy!! He said don't worry bout it as long as it only happens on deceleration you are good. That is just the first 2 hours of my day!

I ran some errands today. Went to fill up the Z after using up the gas that sat in it over winter. Turns out the price of gas jumped 10¢/liter over night. I only put $40 in, didn't even hit half a tank. I'll fill up next week when the price drops to more reasonable levels.


It's a gas by J M Gale, on Flickr

I'm lucky, in my town gas is usually 10-15¢/liter cheaper than the big city... When people ask why our gas is cheaper than everywhere else, I tell them our town is a gated community.

It's 19in, seems a bit small, maybe because its style.

Gonna drive it a for a while first, then decide a drop or spacers.

Looks good alcheng! I would do a small drop with swift springs or the like, before doing spacers. Looking forward to more pictures!

Looks great! I would have to agree a subtle drop then decide on the spacers. The front looks ok might need a 15mm on the rear. If u want to see what the swift drop looks like u can look at mine or there are a lot of guys with that set up.
