The Genesis weighs less than the G35. And we're dealing with the theta platform Evo X motor. Mmmm.
I just crave a turbo car.
Hey good to have you here!
Looks like we picked up quite a few new members over the winter. Should be nice to meet up with everyone this spring.
Great! Post pics. I understand the heat issue ha. The Wilwoods would be my first choice due to price.

Thanks guys...a huge meet sounds fun. I had the greatest intentions for last years Spring meet but the weather scared me off.
I actually do have 20's on my car...and I think they look good although if I were to do it again I would definitely go with 19's since I absolutely hate looking at the 3-6" gap from the end of my rotors to lip of the rim. (Live and learn). I couldn't wait to start customizing before doing enough do diligence on what I was getting. Which brings me to my only other regret...the fact that the car is an automatic. The deal for the car was to good to pass up...so I went with the auto.
On the bright side...the car is a ton of fun and the comments I get when driving around more then makes up for any little regrets that I may have.
Side Note - I was looking at my Wilwood rotors more closely and I noticed that I have two left front rotors. I'm sure Dave at AZ Z Car will take care of this for me...and luckily my garage is not an option right now so I can wait to intall them.
I am getting a car audio system set up in my car in the mean time. (I went on a little spending binge after I decided that I didn't want to put in the time to go racing) A very good friend of mine opened a car audio/video shop in St. Cloud a few years back (http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...ndID=325909051). We are going to do some kick panels, dvd/cd touchscreen head unit, and sub built into the side of the trunk. Nothing crazy...just wanted a nice SQ that is stealthy. I'm probably most excited about Dynamating the entire car to make it a bit quieter in the cockpit.

Hopefully, the weather is really nice this spring. I'm planning a huge garage sale in April to clean out the house and garage. I also have plans to do some gardening and growing our own veggies.
I just got back from playing some hockey at a friend's house that lives out in Mound. I hurt.... didn't have skates so I just used my boots. My knees, lower back, and left elbow are in pain. Especially my left elbow. I might have done something really serious to it. Good thing it's not my shooting arm.
Bronchitis ftl.... keep taking those meds and AB.

I saw a blue Z the other day near my house. It wasn't snowing. Then again, I also saw a Z06 before the snow started falling. I guess some people don't care about the snow and salt.
