Down shifting in it in Triptonic mode will kill your Tranny !
I'm gonna be a good test for that. And I've done all maintenance too.

Q, I really don't DD the Z.....I drive it maybe like one day a week to work and on the weekends.

I just decided to put this set of RS-3's on my Enkei's since they are used. My Battles with the RS-3's are still good for a couple more events so I should be able to Drive like thru summer before needing to get another set of tires.

I might get the new Star Spec II's that are out....they have sizes that will work for me.



Stu, What do you mean ?

so i took my chances and went to grocery store, and at first the clutch pedal stuck down and then acted normally, but softer than before..... this is the same way it did before, but then i kept driving on it for a couple of weeks before it crapped out on m, not doing that this time...hopefully this will be one of the last times i touch the clutch

no problem...i got you. Go to a grocery store, walmart, staples, or any store and buy a prepaid master card. You will pay $5.95 activation fee to save $50. If you load up $250 then you can go back all week to bestbuy and keep reusing the prepaid gift card. I think you might be able to make out like a bandit if you use it on amazon kindle gift cards which can be used on amazon for anything, itunes gift cards or other items like this klipsch bookshelf that is normally $250 down to $99 down to $50 with coupon...woot wooot.

I love their stuff. I got some older model s2i earbuds for $20 on black Friday a couple years ago. Then bought their first over ear model on sale at BB during a midnight sale.

I want to buy those speakers but I have absolutely no reason to haha. My TV sounds fine, and I use headphones for gaming.

well be careful. I was able to get 4 amazon $25 gift cards for $50 OTD but cashier had to manually change the price. Bestbuy realized how quickly they were bleeding and us slickdealers don't play around. Over 745,000 hits in less than 16 hours and they had to revise the terms of the coupon. They tried to exclude sale items but if you can find the set and have a cashier override then you will be set. They also changed the expiration from a 6 day coupon to a 1 day coupon. Valid today only and I plan to go back and get me a $50 apple tv and stack my free $35 reward zone credit to get an apple tv for $15 OTD.

yes sir but I do it with style. On my last crazy adventure at lowes. I had them price match a dewalt impact normally $159 down to $30. I thanked the manager and cashier and proceeded to buy them each a snickers bar and 2 other employees. When was the last time any of you fuggers bought a snickers bar for your cashier

I check the slickdeals site daily, but faiz takes it to a whole new level.

I would love to have an impact gun for $30.
