The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) VIII

looks good.

im surprised your drive axle is already rusted in those picts.

it looks quite a bit worse than my 9yr old G's drive axles which have minor surface rust. as long as the cv joint's arent leaking it's fine though.

i recommend you touchup spray the diff housing and others using rust reformer.

I was too. It's surface rust but still looks bad none the less.

yah, it's considered 'normal.' you know, until the winter 2yrs ago i motored my G through salt and snow everyday, my drive axles were still that pretty green color paint.

at least we can't see it.

some parts do rust fast.

on my dd, i use motor oil on a rag and just dab inside the engine bay on exposed metals and screw heads to keep parts from rusting before snow fall. in fact, i might do that this weekend.

I still need to find my GReddy single exhaust, and then put the diff cooler in

wait, you have a single outlet exhaust? wat to place under the other muffler cut out then?

would look like the cheap-trim accord sedan with one muffler outlet and nothing on other side.... just an empty exhaust tip arch...

i remember some old's car that had faux tips on one side. that was so f-ed up. you can see concrete through the pipes.

kenchan · 10-18-2013, 04:20 PM

mr.alcheng- i think the regular metal tips look good.

i was never fan of those blue-ish colored tips for some reason.

hey! I like the classic shinier look too!

Haboob · 10-18-2013, 04:29 PM

I'm sure someone makes a filler for that. There was a manufacturer for on for the SRT when people went to single tip exhaust.
