God i hate that, wave to someone who has a Z and they dont do anything back, makes me hate being a Z owner for a sec but than hit redline and enjoy every sec of it. But there is also alot of Z owners that are not registered on here for some reason, like there is a TT Z up for sale on autotrader with a veilside body kit on it, the Z is silver color and is from MN, never heard nor seen anyone with that car here in MN before. Looks like the car was sold already it was a private seller, found another one tho at a dealership with the veilside kit on it again but this one is NA with stock wheels on it http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

So Tara and I are thinking of raffling off our condo in Las Vegas. We have a week that covers the Labor Day weekend. However, raffles are only allowed for nonprofit orgs in MN. So now we're trying to figure out how we can do it. Silent auction?

Even worse when they laugh or give a smirk that says "Even if you have the same car, I'm still better than you."





Dave gives me that look...

Steve licks his lips whenever he looks at me. I still don't understand that.

Does anyone here have a light weight pulley on their car? What do you think about it? If not, why wasn't it a mod on your car? I still have mine that is sitting around and am thinking of selling.

A "woman" or a "chick"?


I've stayed away from pulleys, just because I've heard about the thing where they spin the alternator slower, which gives less juice for the electronics, same with the other belt-driven accessories. Could be wrong, but I just don't want to take chances. Also, heard about breaking issues.

Maybe he didn't understand, what the wave was for. Each vehicle gets a different wave, classic car owners wave with their wrist still on the steering wheel,motorcyclist give a little upside down peace sign with their clutch hand.

I think we're supposed to do the "left hand on top of steering wheel, lift pointer and middle finger" wave.

I can't believe, there is a ask Cris Forsberg in the drift section. That's pretty cool.

Dave if you want help installing it i can give you a hand it's a two man operation, i bought the 3 piece pulley kit from Unorthadox but the main pulley wasnt machined right and doesnt fit so i have the othe two pulleys on but not the crank one (the only one that makes a diff the other 2 are just for show) Called up Unorthadox and they wouldnt return it bastards..

It was like a half wave/ peace sign. but now that I think of it, it could have looked like i was giving him the bird.

I usually give the thumbsup signal to another Z or G. When I was in New Mexico, it's usually raised fingers from the hand on the steering wheel.

Greg, I might take you up on that help. I've been contemplating it for a while. Some people say no, others have it w/o problems. My Z is still 'young' enough but I hope the light pulley doesn't harm the engine.
