75 shot would be enough, IMHO.

Nice toy, Alex.

For the van, I need to change the spark plugs and wires. Unfortunately, this is a sideways V6, so the back 3 are super hard to get to. Needs a pro to do it, I guess.

I do need to change the power steering filter for the pump, put new bushings up front, and replace rotors and pads.

Alex, I think to start I'm going to buy the PS filter to see if that ugly noise from my engine bay goes away. It sounds like something is sucking at air and a little bit of fluid.

lol @ that Z. No way will they get $29k for it. I think it's either on consignment or they think all those parts and the paint is worth listing at that price.

Spray your face with that OC.... but do it in the middle of summer when it's really humid out. Then you'll know how it feels on the perp.

Hey guys...back from Mexico. Little more snow than I remember. Tried bringing the nice weather back with me but Customs said I couldn't bring it across the border. haha

I want to buy a set of heavy duty shocks for my rear trunk. Ever since I had the entire thing dynamatted the hatch weighs to much. Didn't want to feel like a football player and have the hatch keep falling on my head and giving me a concusion. Any good ideas for heavy duty shock replacements? I know I've seen them on this site somewhere?

Nice list of goodies you got there, Alex. I think it's time for a mod party. Maybe that should be the theme for the Spring meet.

I'd also be down for a dyno day if we can get enough Z's and G's to show up and make it exclusive.

Well come on over, I have a heater.

Oh MAP is a sponsor on here and they have some pretty good deals going.

I just realized I had enough money to buy a set of Rota's today.
