Hey, Mistuh Sparco, you have quite the flare for the dramatic.

Boo, hiss............. but you see what I did there, right?

I mean, hey, look, you even got adhesive tape that matches the vinyl. Me personally though, I'd use real 3M body stick, not their painters tape.

Running along now.....

Hmmm why don't you just go to home depot and get a plug? IMO it'll look cleaner, but +1 for creativity!

I prefer to test fit everything before I finalize the install. I like taking parts from other cars and making them fit onto my X, Y, and Z. I actually have all 3 of those letters for my cars now.

Sometimes I'm not sure how to respond to Mic with his semi child-like syntax or possibly senile state. I usually respond with the latter in mind.

Thanks I did get the 7/8ths hole plug that fit like a dream, but then I started to get worried that if my hack job glass install didnt hold up and my window flew off it was going to make for a bad day, (this was right after I put it on) so I figured a mechanical fastener like a sweet stainless bolt and washer siliconed to the top with a rubber gasket and big washer was a good little piece of mind thing. After the window urithain dried I pretty much picked up the hole hatch by the window so im pretty confident its not going anywhere... Now I just hope their is no leaks.

I bought a set of Work CR2P wheels. Tires are Bridgestone RE-11 265/35 and 305/30. Once I get the 90-degree TMPS adapters I'll get the tires mounted and everything installed on the Z.

For the 350 or the 370? 350, Gonna have to camber them or get a srs pull. I'm rubbing on my 11 +25 , 305/30/19 setup at stock camber.

Those wheels look great though.

Thanks. The wheels are replacing the OEM Rays on the 370Z.

That's an aggressive setup you have there. I'm running 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 wheels with 255/35 and 285/35 tires on the 350Z and the most I could fit were 5mm spacers without rubbing or negative camber.

Nice, from what I've seen the 370z can fit a larger, aggressive fitment.

Post some pics when you get them on!

How about both?

Old and wise a$$. (Read that however you like.)

OK, I'll bite.... X, Y, and Z? Evo X? Z is self explanatory. Why Y?

EDIT: Oh wait.... that's right, yer "building" a Sh**box..... and don't take that wrong Mistuh Sparco, I loves me some Yaris; but I call all econoboxes "Sh**boxes". Wait, you didn't think I mean Sh*tbox did you? No no no, SHOEbox. Why would I say anything else?

Clayed the windshield. Made a nice difference. Not posting to impress, just sharing an idea. But then I keep my zr as spotless as I can. Gotta catch up to Chad...

Stalled car, yanked handbrake. Started car, forgot handbrake, started moving, car kept jerking, disengaged handbrake, car kept jerking like it was cutting off the throttle, pulled over, restarted car, same thing, pulled over again, turned car off for a minute, car was okay again. No CEL no anything just really weird. Tried searching if its like a safety thing when you drive to drive with your handbrake engaged? or my handbrake stuck even though I've disengaged it?
