Damn!! There's alot of people wanting to use it..... Ok, not to be a douche but I might ask for $20 for people to use it, that includes heat gun and using my lift. To rent one of these bad boys it's $50 for just the device so $20 is a good deal. Plus the rubber roller ball will eventually wear out and need to be replaced. So $20 for everything.

Other than that, it was nice to be there. I left my Z there and drove home in a minivan. Seriously.
I thought the manager was trying to sell you a GT-R instead.

wished I could have made it to morries, but didn't get done with the farm stuff till 4:30... not bad, but still a pretty full day.

did get time to put the new wheels on the evo. Not totally in love. wished they were 17's and thinking I should have went with a wider tire. they have a bit of a stretch to them.... more than I think I like. 255 on a 9.5" wheel. I took it for a quick spin and the tires seem great though (continental DW). If only the Z gripped as hard and felt as toss-able. You steer this car and it just goes there, no questions asked, no wondering if the rear end will slip out, no wondering if I will need to power through the corner to keep from understearing.

I hate to say this... owning both these cars now, if I were to go back to august of 2004 I would be going to a mitsu dealership and buying the evo rather than the Z. I cannot emphasis enough how good of a car it is to drive. has me wondering how good cars like the NSX and the GTR are?

Aaron, PM me a price for your Z shipped to 55124. My max price is $559.99 and that's firm.

Greg, I'd be cool with that $20. Like I said, it's not a big deal to me to get it done, but it sounds like it wouldn't hurt PLUS I'd get some fun time for a mod party.

Ben, the GM was more concerned about having the GT-R there as a figure piece. Tara does not like the van. Go figure. It IS bigger than our van, but there are some things about the new van that don't make sense. Also, the tabs thing was my bad. I'm still in 2010 mode.

Well i put a ACT 6 puck in it bc thats wat they recomended at GRD, they said its good for 580 crank horse so we will see how it holds up i was n't sure about it but they assured me its wat they would recomend bc they h.ave had great luck with them. I got my carbinetics with 1400 miles on it with the broken disc i'm send carbonetics to put a new one in just incase this act don't hold up but i do got to say that the act feels way more streetible almost like wen it was stock but still not sure if its gonna hold up only time will tell, im up to try anything once. So 300 more miles and i will go get on it and see how it goes.

My evo has an ACT in it and I like it. I like the carbonetics/ATS in my Z better, but the ACT is good and they are relatively cheap. The ACT is a bit heaver than the ATS and it's a bit more on/off. hopefully they take care of you on the broken disk

I really like the sub box. Install is a bit weird, but it holds solid, looks oem and is enough bass for my liking. I definitely think it was worth the money.

Just because I am currently in love with the evo doesn't mean I am selling the Z. I really like the Z a lot and have too much time, effort and $ to get rid of it. It is still sexy and still a blast to drive.
