New(ish) S
I would just like to introduce myself.
I am Brandon Wilson and I just bought an 05. I know 1 person lurking around here, you know who you are, and I met someone that has a silver one. I think he works at circuit city and sold me my big old tv. If it is you, you helped us get it in a camaro!!!
It was a lease car owned by an old man. Very well taken care of. Me and the wifey drove down to dallas to get it, and it was love at first sight. Payed for it on the spot.
Well, I've had it for a week now and I already installed an injen CAI and an ARC shift knob, brushed not polished. Bought a set of Megan racing coilovers to replace my rear passenger strut (still waiting to get them). It blew on the way home, thanks to the great oklahoman roads!!! (hit a pot hole... hard) I figured paying $800 for 32 way adjustable coilovers that I can track with was better than the $500+ quoted by the honda dealership for just the one strut. (that was including the labor I think.)
I also have a '73 240z and a '88 turbo 300zx. (yes, I am part of the z club... haha) The 240z is getting a turbo motor built when I can get around to it and I am trying to sell the 300 cause I hate autos and I don't need 3 cars here and 1 at home in NC. I think I bought it cause I missed my '89 Turbo Supra.
I'll get pics of the S sometime tomorrow.
Thanks for reading. (If you did.)

Welcome aboard, Brandon! Just curious... did you order the street or track MR coilovers?

Street.
Because I think the car has a 50/50 (almost) balance. The spring rates are 12kg for front and back on the street ones. The track edition has a 12kg for the front and a 14kg for the rear. Only difference besides the colors.
I think you are supposed to run spring rates that are even because the car has a 50/50 balance.
Just what I have heard, but could be wrong. Is there a reason why I should get the tracks? I can still change my order...
Thanks.

Sorry I haven't gotten pics. up yet... weather is not permitting a wash and photo shot.
Still waiting on the coilovers. And I am also trying to talk my wife into letting me get the t1r 70r-em. She doesn't like the fact that it is $1400(including the test pipe) for "steel tubes."
