I would try and make it so I get the opportunity to meet you guys for the first time. Today was another exciting day in my Z-life. I was going to Bestbuy in Andover. Just before I turned off Main Street I spotted a black Z. For a second I wanted to turn around but I thought he would be gone. When I pulled into the parking lot, there was a Z with Tennessee plate. So I parked right by him.Just when I got out, that black Z pulled up too. We had an awesome mini-Z-meet. Later the other guy come out of Bestbuy with his Gf and joined in the conversation too. What an awesome community

I just got some custom work done on my exhaust there. They're good people. I highly recommend them.

What area do you live in? Some of us are planning on going to DCTC for some autox.

Sup guys just checking in. Can't believe I've been gone almost a year. Just so I'm caught up Ben's still gay and going into the military to live with dudes, and Nick started working out and can't feel his arms or legs. I've got a buddy that might be moving up to the cities this fall.

the retainer clip that holds the throwout bearing was broken. so the bearing was able to spin and it was hanging up on the input shaft making the clutch not engage and disengage correctly. db cant really say if it is there f-up or mine so they agreed to free labor and ill just have to pay for parts. which is just a new throwout bearing , clip and a spring that sits in there too.

That's not so bad, ha, better than me. This'll be the last for me for a couple years or so.

That's cool they took care of you. At least it was nothing big.

Better make it up here for the 1st so you can give me that big going-away hug you've always wanted to give me.

Not much done to it yet. Could not afford the Volks I really love so went with Ruff 280 in 19s with falken 452s. Little stuff include clear side markers and shorty antenna (Not worth mentioning Lol). Now thinking of the best way to get some drop to close the rear fendergap. There is a lot of confusing options out there as to which way is the best. Basically all I do with my Z is just drive around town (For a few compliments here and there.Lol) No tracking, not a daily driver, but the roads are not the best so I want a system that would somehow maintain some driving comfort. I spend a lot of hours in the suspension area but still cannot decide. What have you done to your's?.

if you are looking for a mild drop and still have decent ride quality, get hotchkis springs.
