Great product from a great vendor. Fitment is flawless, installation is simple, quality is superb. Highly recommended.

Detailed Image sells this wheel cleaner by Sonax called Full Effect, goes on green and when it contacts metal/iron turns colors as it reacts and loosens it. Very effective stuff.

I Let my fiance borrow my Z today since on his Z (04 roadster) the TCS and Service Engine Soon lights came on yesterday on the way home from getting lunch. Also the oil pressure gage is reading on the low side. It started fine when we went to the place but it wouldn't start up when we were leaving and he checked the fuses and intake he installed himself. After a few tries it did start but then the lights came on. So he is gonna try to see what is goin on with it. And I took my Spec to work today. I told him to be careful with her (my Z)

Buy it.

And that's the extent of my help. (I know, thank me later.)

Only saying so cuz I just saw an ad for the same thing here in my 'hood for....

$750.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/5263599487.html

I'd buy it but have nothing to put it on that doesn't already have Stoon muff.

Haha I was going to go pick it up tonight but the guy was busy... Also lives like an hour away and doesn't seem the most forthcoming with the communication. But im still very much tempted for that low price. Although the location is semi sketchy and I was thinking the duel 2 1/2 exhaust might be overkill. But hey my old 120hp chevy 350 had duel exhaust and it sounded mean

I have a borla exhaust on my z. I love the deep growl it produces. Not too loud either.

You were absolutely no help in talking me out of it. Going to pick up tonight. If I dont get robbed and murdered I will report back... Still cheaper then a decent y pipe and ill use the winter months to clean it all up.
