All I can contribute is that Suburban as a company blows. They better not try to **** with me when I take my car in for service. Otherwise I'll have everyone from the sales team involved in making sure i'm completely satisifed.

I had an issue addressed on my MS3 before I took delivery and told my finance lady that I wanted no problems when it came to fixing the issue. She said "That's what your warranty is for" and I said "Okay!". I'm holding her and everyone there to it if I have any problems.

I agree the wheels will have to be sold, but hell rock'em for now.
Great pics though.

Rob-I hope all the hype was true and you love it.

Yea as Billy said the car came with those wheels. So far I'm comfortable with them. I plan on just running this wheel/tire setup this year and then next year (or if a good deal comes along) I'll get a dedicated set of street (19's) and track (17's).

Just driving around, it's cool and all. Only when I start pushing it I start loving it haha.

I dunno, I didn't like those wheels at first, but after looking at them from those angles, they've sorta grown on me. It works well with the black 350Z.

Mike K if you can find one of those...hell charge admission

Seriously though the tickets will be around $30.00 for both days.
General admission tickets went on sale this morning.
Suburban is HORRIBLE. They f'd up my wheels so bad - just taking them off an on the car to do the rear axle click fix. They had my car for 2 1/2 weeks getting the wheels fixed... I had to SUE them to be compensated for their f-up. They didn't even bother coming to court cuz they knew they were wrong.

Dick Scott -- total opposite. No questions when I took my car in for a new top -- under warranty. I believe they're mod-friendly too. As of right now, that's the only dealership I will take my car to.

Well the new modifications are on. The ride quality doesnt seem like it has changed at all, but there is no body roll anymore. I definatly like the way it looks being lowered, now I wont look like I have a lift kit next to everyone else.

The evo TT sounds amazing. Although I havent heard the exhaust outside of the car while driving it was bad *** driving under a bridge. AJ and Mike would know how it sounded better than me.

hey johny, how hard was it putting springs on Z? I was gonna get some nitrous, but I think I'll skip, and get some lowering springs, and maybe a plenum spacer, considering nitrous with tune is a little over what i'll have to spend.

Lowering springs are easy to do. Sometimes they are a little time consuming if you compress them yourself, but there is a place right by me that will do it 20.00 to swap the springs. Then just put them back in.

Default Set of '06 18" Wheels

Any of you guys interested in a set of '06 wheels? The two right wheels have a little curb damage, but, not bad. Let me know if you are interested and I can get some pics up - or you can just see them in person. $600?

I'm selling them for a little extra $ towards a set of Enkei dedicated track wheels... and my Work wheels are (hopefully) going to be repaired and installed next week.
