I don't WANT to use them- if Mic is feeling generous and wants to give me his staggered Track V2's I'd gladly take them off his hands! 
I actually remember a FS thread for those- probably doesn't even have them anymore- goes through wheels like I go through underwear- use them, get 'em dirty, clean 'em up and sell 'em to someone else... err... something like that.

I was doing really well managing my wheel addiction selling/giving away two sets and hadn't bought anything new in, oh, I dunno, six months or something. But then this really nice set of V3s came along and.....
Had to turn in my one month badge.
Oh, and have to correct something I mentioned earlier about running my Volks with spacers. I had them on the Niz with a set of 15mms in the rear but then moved those to my '03 and it bugged me last night that I didn't remember putting them on when I swapped; so had to look.... No spacers...
...and found the unused set in my tool box.
Whups....

Just bought my Z about 2 days ago. The next day after, El Nino hits with the biggest storm Cali seen in 10 years. I come out the next morning to my driveway only to find my Z flooded inside half a foot deep. In just 2 days I have to go through all this already

replaced the belt.. still looks new after 26k miles and 9 years..
installed z spec engine bolt kit, although I broke the hood bolt (now I have to have a shop weld a new bolt on)

IIRC the cubby area does provide some structural rigidity. There was a schematic outlining its purpose a while back.

Heh nice one. Well I was able to use wet/dry vac to get most of the water out and a hair dryer to dry it out. The only thing I'm worried now is potential mold or rust that might grow in the future from spots that I missed. Someone mentioned something about shampooing the carpets but how do I do that?!

finished with most of the wiring stuff for my car
so burned out and lazy thank god i am like 95% done with my entire build.....hopefully by next week my car will be on the dyno for tuning
one of my biggest pet peeves about doing an engine build is having to order small stuff and wait.....and wait....
no big deal though once my entire twin turbo build is hooked up second time around its all a matter of pulling out and putting back in no more hassle with installation since all the lines and plumbing are all where they need to be....

Finally finished installing the sound barrier. The doors were the last step.
I added 31 pounds total to the car by doing this, but not really a concern for what I use the the Z for. I only weigh 145 pounds, so unless you weigh less than 176 pounds, you can't criticize me (heh heh).

The door sounds a lot more solid when you shut it now, doesn't it?

Yes it does. I haven't had the car out Yet, , but hope to in the next few days, so I'm anxious to find out how much diff this makes.
