I might stop up there if enough people are going. I've been thinking about doing test pipes and would like to hear and smell what people have.

Well, I guess no Milan today, especially since it's been raining all day.

OU is a possiblity if it stops raining. I'm getting my new tires today after work, so we'll see how long that takes. My rear tires are pretty much slicks right now. I think I need to keep VDC on once in a while.

So I got new rear tires yesterday... and just my luck, the shop damaged the wheels. I have paint chips around the edge of both wheels now. Am I the only one with this problem? In the last year, I've had the dealership and now a tire shop damage my wheels.

On the bright side, they are ordering new wheels for me. I just can't believe how easy it is to damage the stock wheels.

What's up guys - long time no see!

Been having some computer troubles, actually still am. In the process of fixing though, and lost all my files and photoshop accessories. So I have no way to post up these sweet pictures I took recently.

Anyhow, thought i'd post this vid I found on edmunds. It's on "Heel Toe Shifting"

Its at 7:30 tonight, Its pretty big and Legal, the guy who owns the Discount Tire/ AppleBee's is a Car enthusiast and shows his cars there as well.

Where is the best place to look for Rimz for the Z.

What companies or suggestions do you guys have?

I know the tires I am putting on, I want to go 18's for sure, but I am having trouble finding the right web sites for rims.

Maybe you guys can help.

Yes the Infinity dealership in Novi tore mine up with an air wrench. They had some guy come in and repaint and add some clear coat or something.

They did it to all 4 around the lug holes. grrrr....

Yeah Roland, last year I took my Z into the Troy dealership for the TSB for the rear axle clicking. They tore up mine all around the lugs too!! It looked like they used an air chisel to get the lug nuts off. I have absolutely NO IDEA how they could gouge the wheels that bad just taking the lug nuts off/on.

They ended up sending the wheels out for repair, and when they came back they had NEW damage (I guess from putting the tires back on). So they had to send them out again -- lost my vehicle for 16 days.
