Exact same thing I used, they come in all different sizes and run about $3-$6 and are and excellent way to center or pull an exhaust a little. I can show ya how mine is installed as well, ive used them on my G35, MR2 and RX-7 in the past.
We'll have to meet this Sunday. It's supposed to be nice and warm that day.

Is that gonna be the new Juke, the ugly *** Murano 2dr convertible monstrosity replacement, or some other new eye sore in a feeble attempt to capture more youthful buyers. All they should be working on is bringing back a 240 to battle the FRS and BRZ, keep it at 20k base, about 2500 lbs, and 200 rwdhp and they will capture the market.

My real HKS doesn't even come close to my diff maybe that's what you get when you pay 5x more, a non rubbing exhaust


Oh yea almost forgot...... Cheers to the three day weekend

Wow, I must have been really tired. I slept in today. Woke up so late that I had a headache from caffeine withdrawal since I usually have coffee in my system by 7am.

Yay for the rain.

Did you guys watch any of the local news? They're saying we're in such an extreme drought that it was suggested we wash our cars on the lawn. LOL

Yep, I'm not ready for the Z to hibernate yet. Did you guys notice the price of gas going down? Damn, Greg. Go fill up now before you store the Z!

I just put a whole can of SeaFoam in the tank. Figured I might as well do it now and prepare for the worst. I plan on detailing her on Sunday when it's supposed to be warm.

Went to Lifetime today. Had an awesome leg workout. I'll feel it tomorrow and Sunday.

Stupid association turned off everyone's outside water today for the rest of the year, so I guess its DIY car wash places if needed. Not that the Z gets dirty but I will need to wash it at least once more before it gets put away, which I think I've decided to do at the first week of Nov.

If I time everything on my to do list tomorrow, I'll be down for a quickie. LOL

Should we pick some place centralized for everyone's convenience? A malt shop in the heart of St Paul where everyone drives a Prius is calling our club name. We can burn some ozone as we lay down some rubber after the meet.
