No Z action today but tomorrow got a club cruise through some twisties in the mountains and then off to a Time Attack/Lapping night.
So I will prep the car tonight and figure out a great GoPro location...finally get to use this thing lol Oh, wife upgraded and got this thing. We realized the 3 series is not all that big and our 8 month old is a big boy lol. X5 with M Package 19 wheels (I convinced her on the wheels) She is loving it and feels like a "gangsta".

I was in Austin a few years back. The south side on the way to Fredericksburg looked sort of interesting. Made me wish I had my Z, at least. Also drove up on the NW side near some lake if I recall correctly, lots of hills. But the houses back in there all had driveways you'd need a 4wd to get into. |

motored my Z this am and was a decent drive. i was pretty tired to begin with and some folks were driving like idiots so that wasn't real nice.
but there's this one section i really enjoy driving and that part was no traffic and smooth. also tested out my olympus mic's new setup. not bad, will play with it more tomorrow. spot QD'ed afterwards. some stupid little dog came running and barking at me from behind so that was annoying. was going to kick it but the owner had him on a leash. she didnt say sorry or anything. just ignored and walked away. stupid dog owner. planning to hook up with my buddy with the xB later on today to see his car. |

Lime Creek is on that NW side as well as 1431. Both great roads. Lately I've been enjoying the new toll road 130. 80 mph speed limit and if you know the road well, you can easily get away with a lot more. New section they are opening up down south will be 85 mph.

It's a tick. It sounds like some sort of spinning mechanism inside the gauge cluster isn't sitting right. If I get over 4000rpm it seems to put whatever it is out of whack, the ticking starts, and it won't stop until I dip back down to 2000rpm. It's been doing it since my car was stock, so I know it's none of my parts.
Yeah thanks man. I have a friend who's a master tech at Nissan so I'm sure he'll sort it all out for me. |

talking of repairs, i decided to fix my driver seat bottom today for the popping/slight movement TSB. mine was like this from day one and lately it's gotten a tad worse from wear. no parts really needed (unless you want to replace the starwashers) and you dont even need to take the SRS harness off; i did the entire repair while seat inside the car. TSB:2009 nissan 370z: Seat popping noise/slight movement from front right seat corner i did the door side first while the seat was still mounted to the floor. the center console side of the seat, i took the seat off the floor, turned it so i had clear access to the starwasher on that side, and pounded the stock washer in further using my impact socket+ adapter. no more popping noise or slight movement of the seat bottom. |

But it's just so flat around here they don't have to wind the roads around big chunks of rock or anything, unfortunately. Gotta head toward Ohio or south for that. |
