I told you Ted, who needs a seat?

Nismo558, I've got an OBDII code reader if you need it but any checker or pep boys will read it for free. MY CEL's been on ever since I put on my test pipes, I haven't ever gotten those fake 02 sensor adaptor things to take care of it.

I'm thinking of taking my Z to work next Tuesday and hitting happy hour at Brits.

Stock, are you talking about Lake Minnetonka? I'd be down for a cruise around there soon.

As for C&C, I think it's a locked in deal for that date.

Interesting list of cars you guys had. I actually bought 2 new cars that were imports when I lived in SoCal. My first new car was a Toyota Paseo, then I bought a Honda Accord EX. Both sweet cars. Both manual tran. My Honda was all blacked out. That was about it for modding.

Greg, if the weather holds out tomorrow morning and it doesn't rain, I'll let Tara take the Z to Hudson while we fix up the van.

I noticed that my voltmeter reads 14V while I'm driving the car. I guess the battery is still running strong. Great. More money for other mods.

ATTN: Those interested in window tinting

Talked to my guy today. He is definitely interested in doing it. He is booked about two weeks out right now. I will be talking to him again tomorrow, but looks like he will beat the 150 pricing. I will know more tomorrow. When I get the info, I will post up a separate thread on it with more specifics. Please be looking for it

When your car is running the reading on the gauge is more of an indication of the alternator than anything to do with the condition of the battery. If you have concerns about your battery, take your car to autozone and have them run a test on the battery. You need to test it with the car off, putting a drain on the battery


have you notice it being weak on startup?

It's been turning over fine, but last night I noticed it was kinda weak. When I took it to Batteries Plus, they charged it overnight and told me the CCA was around 440amps. I never have any accessories or the radio on when I start the car, so maybe that helps.

Thanks for giving us the update on the tint. I was wondering when we'd hear about it.
