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.

I went to a car show called, "Coffee and Cars" at Mazda Headquarters
Rob, I would kill to have an S2K. Well, maybe not so
Mine would have to be a blue 05 or newer model though. If I was in your shoes that would be a no brainer..good luckMatt, what kind of set up are you trying to put in your car?
Leo you bastard, Paul told me you made him put your controller in the dash like Dick and I-Thanks again Dick you da man BTW
That makes 4 of us with the same coilovers, that's a pretty penny Oh yeah, nice to meet you Jason... Sorry I forgot the other guy's name

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.
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.

The doors are pretty easy to take off, putting them back on is the hard part. Come to the UC meet and i'm pretty sure you'll have a few volunteers to do that for you.

Eh, I broke like 3 clips in the process of pulling it off. I think I just need a better tool to pop the clips. I'm more worried about getting the speaker wire through the door hoses.
