Looks like I won't be getting my rotors until next week. At least I got my Fumoto oil drain valve. I sooooo want to take the Z for a spin. Must resist!

my rotors came in today

Correct. The Acura guys don't have much initiative to start meets & cruises; you should know this for how long you been on the forum. I want to be a lot more active this Summer, instead of only two meets/cruises last summer and the weekly visits to Uni.

Hey SmoothZ and sportbiketed, what rotors did you guys go with? I need to do a brake job when I take my whip out of hibernation. I planned on goin' with a front/rear Rotora BBK, but I bought new wheels and tires instead. Thus, I am goin' to go with EBC front/rear drilled & slotted gold anodized-zinc coating sport rotors (http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/6...0A3050724.aspx) and EBC red stuff front/rear brakes pads (http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/6...0A3050724.aspx). What do you guys think about this set-up?

I bought some rotorpros cross dimpled/sloted zinc coated rotors from maperformance.

Looks good to me. I haven't really read anything negative on EBC. I personally will run only slotted rotors.

Had a break from the rain today, so a couple of us washed our cars. About to pick up some springs to lower it a good amount.

Hey Ben, nice pics. I am assuming you can have a right hand driver car in the US registered and everything right? Is it tough/expensive to get it back to the US?

Nice car, Ben. It's looking pretty sweet. It should look even better when lowered.

How's your Japanese coming along?

Greg, did you get the SUV?

Yep!! Love the truck, the drive back tho was a pain, especially driving thru Wisconsin. Seemed like it took forever. I didnt leave the dealership till 3pm and got home at 3am. I felt good driving all the way home till I got to Rochester, that's when it hit me like a ton of bricks, I was so tired.

Installed the mishimoto blue hose kit, now I just have to install/bleed the brakes and reassemble the rest of the car.

Keep up the good work Alex! Going to be quit the change from the last time I've seen your car. Have you thought of getting a oil Cooler?? there can be some good deals on ebay for them

sportbiketed

I've been thinking about getting a nismo diff cover and making a diff cooler like the ARC one.

I'd rather have a 370Z. Hell, I'd even prefer my old 350.

Wisconsin sucks. Get ready for the Zdayz trip....lol


I've always wanted that Nismo diff cover and could've had it for cheap last year but didn't pull the trigger because of the amount of work involved.

You like your 350 better than the skyline?

So we should start planning the spring cruise.

What day should we have it?

May 8th or 9th sounds pretty good
