Yeah they are pretty rough, but you could rebuild and powdercoat and it comes out to the same cost as buying a pair in mint condition.

Hey is your G sedan black with a "SPEEDHUNTERS" decal on the quarter window? If that's you, your right rear wheel wobbles. Car looks sweet though.

We've been doing monthly meets typically on Sunday mid afternoons that a few of us (including me) have slashed on the last couple of times but i plan to make the next one. Most of us in here meet up for autox and track days at least once a month. Feel free to come out and at least ride along. It's free but I'll tell you, if you ride along, you're going to wish you signed up to drive.

woo hoo, another black HR. i will tell you one thing about the HR's. your throwout bearing WILL go out, its just a matter of time.... parts are alot more expensive than the DE versions, and when/if you ever get tuned you wont get the gains like the DE, i only got 6hp.

btw if interested i am about to swap out my intakes, right now i have the stillen gen 1 intakes with the boxes (the only true cold air intake for the HR), and the Z1 post MAF tubes if you are wanting intakes

haha oh yeah man def interested, i was gonna buy the DC sports short ram, i like the short ram intakes more, i was thinking about maybe getting the pop chargers and those tubes youre talking about, are they worth the money? yeah i agree on the parts haha, think my throw out bearing is going out its starting to make noise just every now and then.

pop chargers are good, but for the price i gave you its not bad. the boxes kinda keep the factory look under the hood. so when your bearing does go out spend the money and get the Zspeed one with the wilwood master.....

Finally had time to repair the passenger window motor in the Z. The brushes were worn out, I replaced them. It worked fine for all of 30 minutes and now I get the door slam procedure again.

Sigh.

Travis, I hope we get more than 2 from the last turn out.

After this one if it bombs...then lets just do it between you, me, Jake, Pat, and Scott. The local boys that we can count on.

Welcome Spoolin'Fool ! It will be nice to meet you at an event soon.

On another note.....I did go to the Auto show last night spontaneously with a couple of friends.

Good thing I had a free ticket, cause I wasn't impressed with anything on the floor.....they didn't even have the New Vette !

But here a few pics....I'll post more later.

Also, Jake or whoever...what are those circular wheel things on those brakes ? I couldn't see what they do ?

That sucks. By "stuck" what do you mean? You can get a rebuild kit for cheap.
