Thanks for all the comments guys.

The adjuster is coming to the house on thursday, I will find out what they will do for me.

I think one of my rims are bent, my drivers side tire keeps loosing pressure now, I dont think that I have a nail or anything in the tire so there is a good possibility that the rim is bent as well. I hear some weard road noise when I drive the car.

How hard is it to install an exhaust on a Z? I put mine on a civic hatch a couple years ago and it was real straight forward. Just wondering if there's anything that will give me trouble

Its super simple, you can do it with basic tools. To make your job a little easier, if you have alot of extensions you can get to the top bolt through the engine bay on each side instead of contorting your hand.

I have done it both ways, the exntensions make it a heck of alot easier.

No worries its a easy job.

Hey guys, here is a link to one of our OG members that had some audio equipment left over from parting out his Z.
This is a full audio system that hits harder than a mother!
You can ask Big Rich, Roger and myself among others that new Rich's car how hard this thing hit.

I can't decide if I want to pay someone on this side of town to do it or try and tackle it by myself over in clearwater at my parents house w/ dads tools. All of mine were in my civic

I agree with Chuck, Ron, and Rich. Retreads should be illegal. On the way back from Zdayz last year, we had to keep an eye out for them on I-75 for Ron.
Just think what he'll make us do for the Porsche... Hopefully sacrificing our own cars will still be enough for him.

Cant help you there, if I was going to be in town this weekend I would say just bring it over here and we would hit it up at my house, it literally only takes about an hour and a half depending on which exhaust you have to put back on. It would be much quicker if you had a lift.

That sucks about your car stephen, will you be able to save the front bumper, or is it going to have to be replaced.

Yeah, what can ya do, you know. I appreciate it though.

I am not sure if it can be salvaged, i have the pieces that are missing, i am guessing that it will need to be replaced but I will leave that up to the experts. If he cant make it look like new then I want a new one.

Stephen, where did the tire exit your car? Make sure you check things like the oil pan and all the wiring and hoses under the car for damage. It seems like I'm always rollin' around town as the slow person now, trying to keep ample car lengths from anyone in front of me so I can dodge things.

I still have your cd's and I'll give you a call this weekend to drop them off if your going to be around..

It exited the rear of the car right behind the drivers side wheel, i basically drove over it with both tires. I checked the front but i didn't think about the wiring. I will check more thoroughly in the morning and put it up on a jack to get underneath it.


******************ON ANOTHER NOTE***********************

Well it looks like I may be changing the way the car looks again. I got prospected by roger to pick up his kit. I am planning on looking at it sometime next week if possible. If it is in good condition, I am going to pick it up and have that put on the car. After I got my kit, I SEEM TO SEE TOO MANY CARS WITH THAT KIT!

Carlos was kind enough to give me an idea what the car would look like from the side with the kit.



Thanks Carlos

Police escort at high speeds would be great.
