Maybe you are following in my foot steps and do not realize it. Perhaps your good advice to me applies back to you. All the best as always

On second thought it must be the tires fault.

Don't either of you guys ever stop driving the Z the way she wants to get driven.

You're fist maybe. Though, I am wondering if there is some way to do the shocker And that picture makes me really, really, really want a FI exhaust.

I took a spin in the Z with Mrs.GaleForce

for cruise with the wife

The Z is dirty and there's no time to do anything. Oh and don't switch jobs and buy/lease a new car immediately prior to refinancing your house

Bud.. you drive too hard...



Thinking about wax my Z one more time tonight....
I warped with the stock set up at the track. Replaced the pads and resurfaced. Warped them again at the track, replaced the brake fluid installed ducting and resufaced again and still I came back from the track with less warped but warped rotors.

With new stock rotors I have barely used them since yesterday but the are not warped. I just passed 13,000 miles this week.

I also have about one month of front tires left, which all four were replaced at 7250 miles.

I sure feel like I could drive harder but all those cop cars say I am wrong.

I did. They only charged me $1680 for new, and they kept the worn out tires. A mere $.25 per mile.

Full of win. If I can not laugh at this I'll just get pissed. So I am

Don't you need to include some kind of Octopus or Squid for it to be considered Japanese car porn?

I think that is a specific sub-genre of Japanese porn called Sushi porn, which is anything with uncooked seafood

Z related...

I ordered a set of Vossen last week, and the shop told me the offset of the new set if 5mm more aggressive than my current set..

I am running 10mm at the rear right now and always thinking about adding another 5mm all around... so the new set will work out just fine...

The shop and I gonna see how it looks when the new set is mounted and decide whether another 5mm is needed...
