I like the night vision camera setup. All controllable via smartphone is wicked!

mr.gale-

yah, having cameras inside the house makes you feel closer to home.

this new camera has audio in/out so i am planning to hook up a small but adequate computer speaker to it so that i can yell at people if they walk inside my garage uninvitedly while im taking a dump on my neighbor's driveway.

how much is an uprev tune there? ive been tinkering with the idea..but not entirely sure how it works. do you have to buy the 500 dollar module from uprev and then pay someone 500 to tune it?!

my Z's my weekend fun car and i still dont feel necessary to change the suspension. it's one thing to tighten it up to your liking, but another to just drop and stiffen it up for cosmetics. if it's a dressup car, then by all means do wat you want to make the car look nice. or if it's a pos car that needs improvement.

most often, such cars go slower due to skipping tires, discomfort, slower engine rev-up due to larger vibrations, and abs noise during hard braking. will also throw off your yaw control which you can't turn off during throttle up. the Z's stock suspension is more than capable for street and the stance is fine so not worth compromising or spending my time on it.

what really cracks me up are folks that say these things yet they drive around with inferior/junk tires with wrong offset wheels while racing their dropped z aka 'race car' in their heads. lol

So it's the Swifts?
All this time I thought that skipping, yawing, ABS action I felt on Friday night was due to a late braking maneuver in the wet while transitioning from asphalt to concrete rumble strips at the entrance to an offramp.

I think I'm paying 600 bucks. Call rob at Z car garage for info. He is a pretty good guy, gets great reviews on this site and seems waaaay knowledgable.

the factory windscreen that the recorder came with failed my wind test over the weekend. got saturation at 45mph with driver side window rolled (the recorder placed on center console just behind the cubby lid).

i drive with the window down in the cooler months so i need it to withstand at least 55mph.

sounds like fun, surf!

..but, uh.... why pop chargers?

I know the stockers are pretty good, but I like being able to clean my own filters when I do oil changes. Also I don't want to have to pull off my bumper to get to them. It's half (almost negligible) performance gain, and half ease of maintenance I guess.

p.s. (I know this is goofy, but...) I kinda like being able to see my intakes. It just sort of says "bitchin" to me looking at dual intakes.

I know, its gooify, but I'm not really a hard corps racer. This is my DD. My other non performance mods are things like Dynamat, quieter tyres (planned) and mirror stickies. Also I have no track brakes or cooler. Like I say, it's not really a tracker.
