You're a CL *****. I downloaded an app the other week, but the damn thing drains my battery so fast.

Try bleeding the brakes with the engine on.

As someone else stated, 1 sub is enough for the Z. Trust me.

Figured out the problem with the router. I don't know why the tech guy from Frontier did it, but he provided a new wireless router and kept my old one connected. It was like they were 'bridged' or something, but the Linksys was acting up. So I finally called them and found out the new router was wireless. I got rid of the Linksys and was able to set up the Wii and DS Lites to work off the new one.

Well Dave I wouldn't quite say a *****, but close. As for having fun yes, I will be there regardless for the autox just didn't know if I wanted to shell out 165 bucks without ever having been on a track, although I was watching some vids of the road course at BIR and it looks really fun.

Yes, I am looking at going there for the Track time, the Drag and possible AutoX although I feel I have too much body roll of the X. But yeah, I am looking at a way to pull it off, sad part is. I have my jeep that I can camp in the back of with no problem, but no trailer to get my Z up there.. hmm..

OMG anybody else realizing how cheap it is now to get a Z??? Hell I bought my 03 in 05 with just under 30k miles for 20k out the door.. I'm finding ones now with the same mileage for 14k also newer 05... (my car now has 51k on it)

Thanks! I'll probably swing by there today.

As for cheap Z's, just remember that you know what you have (a piece of automotive history) and you are considered OG compared to these 'kids' who don't know crap about the car.

So Dave, long story short you did what I told you to in the fist place? . I got the brakes all bled again last night. I think I had the front of the car too low compared to the back on the jack stands and had a high point in the lines with the master cylinder too low. Anyways, the rivers rear had a bunch of air to let out when I did em all again, yes in the right order. I drove it into work today with a big grin on my face.

Dave, your original request made it sound like a R/C car.
Tex, I bet a tent will fit in the back of your Z though. There's decent hotels just south of the track too.
Janik, what % is that tint? Looks too dark to be 50%

Oh, and who buys a car as an investment? Prices go down, new models come out, thus is Elton John's circle of life.
