Do you have the Cusco setup? I need better tires. I kept on slipping on hwy 9/hwy 35/backroads last night.
So I drove the 350z all day Saturday, and the RX-8 on Sunday night....there's no substitute. My general impression is that the 350z always has this "lag" on response time whether its pressing on the gas pedal, breaks, shifting, or turning. The RX-8 was just perfect--similar to the S2000....

Just trade in the Z for the 2K... lol... Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday Rob. I covered up my car and forgot the phone in the car. It's annoying when I do that, so I didn't get my phone out til midnight or so.
go to Edgeracing.com for tires, pretty good deals on Toyo TR1 or Falken 615's. 225-45-18/235-40-18/245-40-18 all have good prices.

Yeah, that's a fun road. I'm going there again tonight with the Z one last time. I have to make sure if I really want to trade this in. It would be pointless to have two cars that drive similarly...variety.
As a side note, it's too bad we all need to be monogamous

ahhh... I didn't know that
Ever, that C & C, isn't that bad, no one there is really stuck up. The best part, as it seems, is when everyone leaves and we watch burnout after burnout.

Yup pretty much. A few MILFs but not enough to make a difference. When I go down there again, I'll snap some shots, I didn't have my camera, I used my phone and only took a picture of the R33 and GT500.

Whoo! Got my center console back together last weekend, moved the LC7 too.
![](http://isomerica.net/~fluffy/Ren/awesomeknob.jpg)
Took a door panel off on Monday to get a feel for the size of the hole for the bose speaker so I can drill out holes in my baffles. Man is getting the door off a PITA. Anyone free this weekend to help me pull the doors and push wires through the door hoses?
I also need to drill holes to mount my amp and find a good ground and I'll be ready to make some noise.
