I know I have made several spirited on/off ramp runs with the Z on 1/4 tank or less and never had an issue.

Regardless, it's good to know Phunk is making progress and that a solution will be available to those that have the problem (hopefully) shortly.
yeah, it's not really much of a problem on the street. you should never be putting yourself into a fast turn you need to accelerate out of.

one of the rt 28 uphill clovers would be the only spot i ever saw it on the street(dragon aside), but that's likely due to it being an uphill turn.

I wonder if Jon will be interested in the new tank/pickup. I kind of want to drop the tank on a Z now. :icon17:

blades will need one, or at least he will believe us if we tell him he does.

TBH the main thing I am looking forward to is installing some brake ducting.

I have nothing informative to contribute to this thread, but I hate Red_Zed so here I am.

I just don;t like cutting into the fender liner. I haven't seen anything that doesn't require that.

Why? It's just plastic. No big deal. Super easy with a hole saw.

The only thing that scares me on the Z is the cats... I will do just about any install on the car but I won't mess with that demon bolt. :icon17:

Is there no other way around this?

:iagree: But if you have to... what choice do we have? :ugh2:

not so much the trouble, more the resale. if you're keeping the car it is not a problem.

I didn't really have issues with the demon bolt, even on jackstands in my garage. I was very worried though...

It's possible that the brake duct scoops could be routed to take in air from underneath the car, then you wouldn't need to cut anything. But if the ducting takes air from up front, you need to cut the fender liner to run the tubing. But it shouldn't be a problem at all.

You realize no one is going to notice a hole in the fender liner, right? It wouldn't be easily observable since it wouldn't be located on the front part of the lining anyways.

I wouldn't imagine plastic fender liners to be OMG expensive either in the event you were planning to sell at some point?

You never know with the Z... some of the replacement parts are randomly expensive. :bowrofl:

One thing I just thought about... the Injen intakes probably wouldn't be compatible with brake ducting since you probably have to route the tubing through the area where the filters would rest (if you are sourcing the air from the front opening).
