Too bad its cloudy out or I would take a picture and show you how shiny my car is...

Blackfire is better than Zaino...


Ya I said it....

 

Blah, I still like Zaino better. :P

 

Blackfire > Zaino

Just look at the pics.

 

Thats your opinion, I am sticking with Zaino!

 

Zaino is KING!!!

 

Seriously now as a person who has used Zaino and Blackfire I'd have to pick Blackfire. The shines are about the same but Blackfire is a lot cheaper and a hell of a lot easier to apply.

 

how much is blackfire? i paid $12.95 for the Z2. I never used blackfire, i'm sure its good, but i find zaino to go on and off easily

 

Did you even try Zaino? :P

 

You know what we could do...

Since our cars are almost identical, you shine urs up with zaino, ill shine mine up with blackfire and we can do a side by side comparison....

See which looks better....

 

I've tried both. They both have the hard, clear shine to it. I say Zaino is actually shinier but Blackfire seems to richen the color though. All IMO of course.

 

You're on, silver sledder! My car will look better anyway because I'm lowered.

Hey, wanna buy my used 235-45/17 Toyos? :P

 

Ummm since mine only have 600 miles on them, i guess Ill pass...

Why you getting rid of yours? Time for new ones already, or are you switching to something different?

 

I swapped out the 235-45/17 Toyos for 225-45/17 because I was experiencing a minor rubbing problem on the front wheels during full-lock turns at decent speed. I thought the 17x8 SSR along with 235-45/17 lowered on Comptech springs was a rub-free setup, but apparently it is not (or at least not for me.)

Some knowledeable folk suggested it could be that the Koni's reduced the effective wheel clearance by just enough over the stock shocks to cause the rubbing, or maybe the front spring rates were just a bit too low. Never figured out exactly why, but with the 225s I am no rub free and can pound the corners with no mercy again.

 

cool, hows the lower profile lookk?

 

or is that a narrower tire?

 

The overall look is much the same. We'll see the next time we meet up. You gonna head to San Mateo with us on Mar 2nd to meet up with the bay area guys?

 

Ya probably....
