Hey, everyone! I'm a new 370Z owner in Houston and looking for suggestions on the best place to get my rims powder coated. The cheapest I've heard of someone doing it is $50/wheel but I don't know how the quality of work is on that. Any ideas? 19" Rays sport wheels from a 2009 and hoping to get them in the 2010 40th anniversary wheel color (dark gray). Thanks for the help!

Precision Powder in Spring!

Had a tool cart powder coated by them. Also a really good friend had his wheels for his ACR Viper done. Both of us have no complaints.

How did you get 353whp with intake and exhaust. Most people cant even get 300 with just those two mods?

Pretty bad once you get out of volente. I'm probably doing an AM run tomorrow before the race. We'll see how I handle it. :)

Don't give me that crap Mike! My trips to this forum are almost as rare as Matt and Andi coming out to a meet.

HA! We both went on the cruise this weekend, and the one before that, and I have been trying to make the weekly meets again with school coming to a close. :p

Is it just me or is this forum really getting boring. I want to see more build threads with custom modifications like Ron's dash computer, or O.G.'s single turbo build. Everyone should have their own build thread so please make one if you haven't. Lets see what you got going on!! Post your link here for your build.

theDreamer 12-20-2012 09:40 AM

I have mine in my sig but most everyone has read it by now.
Will have an update at the start of the new year. :tup:

VDC_OFF 12-20-2012 09:53 AM

I like how you have a want list to the 1st post. I think Ill do that too.

It does seem like this place has been pretty quiet lately.

quick question

Anybody can recommend a good driving school for adults? Ive been trying to teach my mom how to drive but its hard because I cant take her to an actual road to drive with other drivers because 1. shes too scared 2. Im scared of what happens if she freaks out!

At least those driving school cars got that additional brake by their passenger side.

So if yall know a good driving school please let me know so I can check it out!

Houston/Cypress area! Thanks a lot!!

VDC_OFF 12-20-2012 02:14 PM

I cant remember the company my high school used, that was 17 yrs ago for me. I would just recommend you find a HUGE parking lot. I took my oldest daughter to one high school in sugarland so she could practice safely and she did very well. I taught her 3 point turns, signaling and parking. Cypress should have some big schools.

I took mine in Cy-Fair, there is a school on HWY 6 that use to be next to the Marble Slab but I think they moved down the road. It is near where the Chase & Chick-fil-A are.
I agree with VDC, my parents taught me a bit in a lot and it helps. Best bet is to go to Cy-Falls or Langham Creek depending on where you are and they have open parking lots where the bands practice with no light poles, perfect spot. :tup:

Unexpectedfar 12-21-2012 12:30 AM

Thanks for the reply guys.. Ive been teaching her inside the neighborhood but the reason I want her to get a driving class on the road with other cars around is for her to get that fear out of her system, thats the thing thats holding her back.

But I appreciate the input we definitely have a bunch of open area here, am I allowed to go in though even im not a student?
