God she'd kill me lol the ring should be ready Christmas eve. They had to send it in to get resized. I haven't told her parents yet though lol. That should be fun.... not I'm very nervous about doing that. Her dad is a really big guy lol

what you worried about. If dad says yes than you got your self a wife. If dad says no then you got your self $2k in mod money and a girl friend.

I remember not too long ago I found out engagement and wedding rings are two different things. Such a ripoff! Luckily my family owns a jewelry business.

Travis - i don't know what the difference in those springs are -
Pat - you were really fast on the track on Saturday - sorry you jacked up your brakes but they are a cool color now - i would suggest QUICK short bursts on the brakes and brake HARD as advice - I try to keep my brake lights off as much as possible -
I have shifted into 5th on that back straight and the length of time you end up being in 5th isn't worth the work because .03 seconds later you are braking and going back into 3rd and then 4th - I think a really manageable pace around that track in the Z is to stay in 4th all day - until you get the lines down and braking - my lap times when staying in 4th are aprox 2:15 seconds - fith, what gear were you in lol
omg its thursday! I start a new Job on JAN 1st - that big news yo'!

Ya it's a rip off lol. Fez, that was just the engagement ring that was right over $2k. I bought two matching bands that go on either side of the engagement ring too. The worst part of it is,the ring I want is only like $400 lol she gets off easy.

I want a ceramic one. Hell this is like $50, maybe I'll just but one for myself.

What happened to Pat's Brembos? Are you talking about discoloration?
That's inevitable once you start tracking your Z with aggressive-enough pads. I killed a brand new set of HPS in the front after 1 track day so I switched to HP Plus and my calipers turned orange. Those who use real track pads have more noticeable discoloration (bronze) than mine. I believe Patrick has true track pads so maybe they turned brown?

Pretty much lol. He was proud that i got them to do that lol he said he had been trying to get it to do that for a while. Those pads never faded either. I was braking really effing hard and wasn't really riding them by much but i guess it was enough to heat them up a lot. I drove the **** out of that car on my last session. My pads were smoking after that. So were Erics.

Carbotech RP2 pads are endurance pads, so you definitely won't see fade with those. They're definitely track pads, lol. I still can't believe how much your calipers discolored after 1 track day, though.

Btw if anyone wants to buy something special for the misses, I have $1100 on credits that I'm allowed to transfer to others at kay jewelers. You cant use them to pay for an entire purchase but you can take a couple hundred bucks off of like $300-$500 range. The credits are valid like January 6th through the middle of June.
