You bet, Ryan. That's part of why I think it would be a good car to get.

ded in here

And now on to news, on my way back from Zdayz I noticed a constant and annoying exhaust fume odor in my car. I thought it was from the traffic around me, but eventually I had to admit that it was my Z. I'm going to have to get under there and check the exhaust for loose bolts.

Also, I'm thinking about a dyno to get new numbers and figure out my AFR.

Based on what I'm reading, I believe my Z needs a tune. Sigh...more money. But possibly more HP!

Max I will spend is $6000 for the next car that will be used by Brandon.

Go!

I like that black Maxima. Forgot to mention that the car needs to be newer, like newer than 06.

Finally made it here to Minnesota! You guys have a beautiful state and I am enjoying it. Although I have a bunch of damaged stuff from the movers (they will be reimbursing us) my family and I are settling in nicely. Hope to see you guys around!

I think we're buying an auto. I know I know.

Welcome to the state, new guy. Proper introductions needed.

If I know, then I'm sure you know, but DB has their event tomorrow I believe. $60 for dyno pulls. I'd like too for ***** and giggles, but I have a paintball event to go to

We test drove the Yaris and the Fit. We really liked the Fit. We're going to make some phone calls on Monday and offer $5500 for it.

I haven't been to a dyno day for years, especially with DB hosting. I committed to the dyno day for tomorrow, and I originally thought of paying for the dyno. Now that I want to do a tune, I'm going to keep my $60 and wait.

So I spent my morning today looking for performance mods for the Fit. Now I'm going to have to buy the damn thing so I can appease the mod bug.

Was looking at Wais' Panda thread. That car has so much win to it. Tanabe exhaust is cheap, Mugen style aero parts are pretty cool, and brake upgrades are a must.
