my buddy built me an extended ebrake lever to slip over the stock one. i'm excited to try it out wednesday should be much easier to initiate with these beefy *** tires.

i'm thinking about ordering another set of wheels just for driving around, hardparking, and tucking wheel. think some 19x10 -1 and 20x10.5 -8 sp1's would look good?

its loud driving normal. the only time it isnt loud is cruising speed around 2200rpms. and i normally shift at 3k, now shifting at 2500. ANY sort of acceleration, someone 3 cars back at least can tell lol

im so jumpy with mine now, ALWAYS watchin for cops, everywhere haha never used to worry at all... have to noticed any loss of MPG? i went through more gas than usual today, without doing much different except shifting at the lower RPM but i didnt think that would kill my MPG...

yeh my mpg went down but i never had good mpg to begin with. i think mine went down though because of my wing, a hell of a lot more drag now. and i've always been used to watching for cops, ever since my subaru. i dont worry about it much in the Z as i drive like a grandma, and my car is completely legal.

@Jz33 why are you frustrated with your wheels?
i used to run test pipes. i have stock cats on now. i have pop-charger w/berk Z-tube, plenum spacer, carb legal headers, stock cats, aftermarket y-pipe and now my y-back design. its just loud as **** lol

Once u puts new clutch n flywheel in, shifting at 2500 will almost not even be an option... It makes it run better at high rpms and kinda clunky at low rpms in any gear but 1st...

Haha interesting..I havent seen 9.75 before. Gonna use your current tires?

I just swapped my front spacers to the rear. Litterally 1mm clearance under full load after rolling my fenders Now I need some new spacers for my front..probably some 25's.
