Thanks but no explainin' necessary. I also subscribe to the theory that if I'ma dish it, I best be ready to eat it too. Hahahahahaha!! Hence my own self-dep'n commentary. You can't tell that I don't take much seriously? Even when my contractee companies create a whole new s**tload of work for me, I smile.

Cuz I bill by the hour.

Cheers!

Not to enter into any non-Z material but yeah, love the SR. Handles respectably, has plenty of power - nearly enough to pull on my Niz.... *nearly*. Pretty much same level of grunt as my '03 and....

...I carried a full set of fat AD08's and four 19" Z wheels (in their boxes!) in it with room for some Crazy Chicken take-out for dinner last week.

Stock stereo kicks some a$$. Almost as righteous sounding (actually arguably better) than any of our Zs....with their mid-level, sub-woofed, 5ch-amp'd set ups we have installed.

But lawd have muhcy, I have to fear tight parking lots and u-turns. That thing requires as much turning radius as a Disney cruise ship. Seriously bad. I mean, REALLY BAD.

Just decided to replace my license plate bolts this morning....not a good idea. 1 bolt was rusted out and I need to replace it. Anyone know the size of these bolts? Are they m6x20? Just want to be sure before I order some titanium ones.

so my strut bar's bolts had f'ed up and were about to strip the holes. one actually was partially stripped but saved the other seven. didnt feel like ordering anthing special so went to the local hardware store. got some SS bolts and some nifty little gold washers. came out looking kind of kool.








also bought a new jack, a creeper and few other bits to make working easier. cleaned her up inside, engine bay, exterior for the first time in a while and drained a little bit of oil. was a bit too much added.

Haha that's right, I think I remember reading about the huge turning radius actually.

Thanks bros, yeah I had the door down partially because of the pollen and the yellow energy bulbs were on and I thought, this looks pretty neat, so snapped a pic lol.

Garage is empty for now, Mic, but we'll see if it last. Just did a big spring cleaning. I'm hoping to remove the front shelves. It gives good storage but it takes so much room. Trying to fit the wifes Jeep in as well. (Gotta share lol)


A little better angle from the "How your Z sits" thread

Thanks! I definitely wanted to keep it looking clean. I'm glad to hear that came through

Had to return my NOAH car cover for yet another warranty claim

The very dry winter we had with unseasonably warm temps ruined the cover so they are going to get me another one
