I was doing the same thing at your car... especially that bling-bling LED light.

that's awesome. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was the only one at the event with a LED lightbar.

That is literally the perfect wheel/tire setup. I'm jealous you have the version 1 starspec's as the new one's aren't as good apprently. I bet those wheels are pretty light as well? Like 15lbs or so? Next time you need tires, you should bump up to 245's though

I feel you guys. I have 7 on the driver side and 2 on the passenger side. I hate inconsiderate people. Unfortunately I live by too many.

Where did you hear that? I daily 235/45/17 Z1s and race 205/55/16 ZIIs. I've also raced the Z1s a couple times, I think the ZIIs are much better.

I have a bandaid sticker covering the biggest dent I have, where the paint actually cracked and flaked off. $3 or $4 fix.

A few of my buddies (s2k, 04 STI, and a 350z) they mention the sidewall is much softer. As well as TireRack reviews lol

Out of curiosity, 3/4 tank of gas yields how many miles for you guys? I get about 270mi out of 3/4. Not sure if thats too little or just right

I'm lucky if I get 220 miles on a tank... I've been getting around 18-20mpg.

I think something is wrong.

I get like 275 and then the light comes on. I think something is wrong too... I bought this car for economy. The tradeoff from my last car is almost negligible. 16-18 avg on my last, I think I'm getting 21 or at most 22...

While on the topic of gas and whatnot, has anyone filled up and noticed the needle gets stuck two bars before the F? It's done that twice for me now. I'm going to take it in soon before my warranty expires in October.

Damn so much for economy. I guess to be fair I do drive mostly highway with cruise control set at 70.

May get it repaired or look at the option of side skirts to cover it up, its a little big to pop out on its own like the others, why couldnt it be on the door so i could try the gopro dent removing technique!!!

They are cast... not forged... about 17-18 lbs. Star Spec runs wide... 235 is wider than avg. 245. Plus, it was cheaper.

I think ZII is better as well.

IMO, Z1 or ZII are overkill for DD... but they are awesome for track.
