i see.. even if the aftermarket is bad, you can still buy the oem one later, i guess, without making much of a difference in total price spent.

for me im going to be putting away my Z around halloween, so got 6-7 more times to motor her before putting her away for the season.

LunaZ · 09-08-2014, 12:51 PM

I put air in the tyres.

kenchan · 09-08-2014, 12:54 PM

yah, i need to psi up the tires too. ambient temps dropped considerably.

scheduled my maintanence and waiting for the shop to get back so I can figure out a time to get my parts and install done.

maintanence is for nov 13 since I can't take time off in oct ... means more driving

This is officially the wettest day it's ever been in Phoenix - 3.5" of rain and counting it seems.

I'm editing High Plains Raceway track video from my "TRACK ADDICT" app.

A buddy and I took a girl from work out in his Audi and I followed in the Z as she CRAWLED around the course. She rode with me in the Z for a few laps and said "Your crazy!! I don't think I want to ride with you again" (I was rolling at about 8-9/10ths lol) The track *was* a bit wet and we did get a LITTLE loose a time or two, but never left control.

We take it for granted what an exiting ride the Z can be to the uninitiated!

That seems so sad to me. Enjoy the next few weeks and hope for an early spring!

Positive thinking man... I like it. I have something to do too... it's hibernate!

Back on topic... put in an order for the Stillen Gen3 + exhaust at a local shop (I try support the locals ya know?) but apparently they are back-ordered at Stillen. Hopefully I'll get them in sooner than later but worst case is they will arrive when it's time to park the car and I'll get them installed in the new year.

super excited now... I love the tone of the stillen (not too loud not too soft) and the intakes are self explanatory...

kenchan · 09-08-2014, 07:26 PM

sounds good, mishuko.

Just picked up a set of Swift lowering springs for the car and will have them installed this weekend. I'll drive around for a little while and let them settle in and then have the alignment done. Should be fun!
