Cool Tuned Up

Well my Z has been giving me **** today...surgin and boggin....well I went ahead and got a cap and rotor button....wow what a difference. I compared the old with the new and it was obvious that it had not been changed in years if ever. There is a noticeable power increase and pulls harder in the upper RPM's when floored. It makes me laugh to think less than $10 made my car run so much better.

On a side note, I stopped at a local pawn shop on my way to WalMart to purchase a flashlight and came across some speakers for my car. I bought a pair of Rockford Fosgate Power Coaxial 6 1/2's for $25, the guy thought because they were in a JBL box that, that's what they were...what an idiot! Their loss my gain. The flashlight...I got a headband LED flashlight made by energizer and it kicks ***!! bright as hell and lights op the whole engine bay. Me is in good mood today WHOOP WHOOP!!! <----Edit...Woot Woot!!

I think actually it's one "WOOT", unless you've had 6 or more beers, then it's however many you want...

BLAH! no more stupid **** like that anymore.

I was surprised the old bird could still do high speeds. Even though the rear end was wineing it's azz off. She just glided down the road.
