Boo hiss.

have fun with it but carefully-it would suck big time if the tires allowed you to slide off the road...no Z no need for new tires

push it bro -hella fun - but keep it on the road!!!

And therein lies the problem. Plus there's absolutely zero shoulder on this road, and in a lot of places its either 6-12" steep sloped drop off or tree-line. Not much room for mistakes, so I'll probably just push a little. Plus Ms. Pint doesn't push her car on the curves and I just found out it's only gonna be me and her cruising after our third Z just bailed

Whatever, it's still

Griots Waterless Wash is awesome on glass.

Ok, just checked with a thin layer of Vaseline and a clean sheet of paper and I've determined that the Z1 struts do touch a teensy bit. I'm not really gonna worry about it because, from what I can see, it's really really minimal. I don't see any marks on the plastic. Zman8, how long before you started to see marks? You just bought those, right?

Installed them 2 days ago. No driving done. The marks appeared on a raised plastic section just behind where the foam looking material is. I can see the hood struts have started indenting this piece. Tonight im going to see if I can get creative and stick a video camera inside the engine bay to film this
