Had a little surprise on the car yesterday.... checked the suspension out after the trip and the rear Camber Arm had both locknuts backed off substantially on the drivers side! Nothing had moved in regards to camber settings, but I was shocked to see the nuts backed off. I torqued them back on and checked all the others too. Just that one side was loose... weird.

Warranty!!


jk

lol... I called myself and complained about the technician (me) that installed them....

good thing you check out suspension often know you had that issue with the spacer

i pretty much want to do the same setup as you

Very True!... always check and double check your work on your car. I always do a before and after inspection just for peace of mind. It's so easy to miss something and it's usually a quick fix if you find it early!

:ugh2: Find out today or tomorrow if I am getting the kit... the previous owner is still undecided if he is letting it go.... :icon14:

:tup: hey Wheeee! Read the first part of your jeournal for the first time today (up till now I was just drooling over your car!) made me chuckle....so did you get another car for your wife yet? this one does appear to have morphed into YOURs! LOL great journal, beautiful Z! :tup:

Yup :tup: Check out this thread...

:tup: looks really good!

Thinking of putting my stickers on the Civic! Might make me feel better this winter :(

I really need to stop surfing this thread-way too many ways to part me from my hard earned cash...lol :p

You DO realize I was talking about the Di-Noc 3M Carbon Fibre.....

:tup: lol-yes-i did. After i posted my response i thought i should have been more clear on what i was complimenting. The pillars do look good w the carbon fiber installed... :). How does it look from afar? I have seen so few Z's up close that i am really curious and intereseted in seeing it in real life..not jus photos.

I have my wheels at Wheel Works getting re-painted for next season. They are doing the Hyper Silver finish like stock, but spraying the barrels gloss black. Should look nice on the car!
The re-spray was due to the clearcoat chipping and peeling from the first spray job and the tires being mounted too soon.

Looks good man. You already know! :tiphat:

Yeah, he knows.

Minor winter update...

Got my wheels back from a performance wheel shop here in town. They repainted the wheels because of the chipped clearcoat from the last paint job. They stepped it up a notch this time and redid the wheels with a two tone finish - hyper silver outside and a gloss black inside barrel! I really like it and it should be easier to wash and keep clean now!

Hey! I still want to see the b pillar mod from afar...like a full broad side shot or something....:)

I will get one for you Cherry, just let it warm up a bit here! I haven't had the car out of the garage since October 15th! It's frickin' cold up here!

Just got a PM from a member/vendor here. Looks like I might be getting a set of custom made exhaust tips for the HKS system this summer too! I'll keep you posted!

Some small stuff going in this month.... 6k HID bulbs, 6K led park lights, license led's, and some new map lights I think too...

:tup: good thing you bought your wife a z! :p what would you do w your time if she didnt have a Z?! Bahahaha:tup:
:tup: JW Motoring has been posting a lot of examples of LEDs on it's FB page...

Any details on the garage heater?

Home page

I have a house style gas furnace. It's a Bryant Plus 80. My dad had it in his shop, brand new unused, so he gave it to me cause he wasn't using it.... I paid for the install (gas line) and the plenum/vent only! Sweet deal and a super comfy garage! It vents out the side of the garage too so it was a super easy install. :icon17:

Awesome deal!

My garage is fully insulated but I haven't installed a heater yet. Maybe this summer/fall.

:tup: great idea!!! We will prob install a wood-burner in our behemoth:tup:

Best investment ever! Now my expensive car care products don't freeze.... And I can work year round in the garage!

LED's installed all around. These are the map lights... left one 6000K and stock right

http://www.the370z.com/members/wheee...map-lights.jpg

and then I did the mirror mount and hidden cable for the power cord...

http://www.the370z.com/members/wheee...rror-mount.jpg

clean install buddy!!! and loving the LEDs.... those piss colored oem lights suck at night :(

I was pretty happy with the install! I did the map lights, marker lights in the headlights, trunk light, license plate lights, and new chromed rear indicator lights!.... and then I switched up to 6000k HID's up front too.

... pulling the taillights out was stupid hard. Not hard as in physically, but hard as in stoopid. All the plastic panels gotta come out, then the top panels, then 2 big bolts and one tiny one on the inside! I can see people taking their car to the dealer to change a dead bulb and getting raped for a $200 service fee to do it too! Oh well, it's done now!

Dont tell me that... that is next on my list. haha

LOL! After the way you buttraped the interior of your car already, I don't think you are going to be shy about pulling a couple panels!!! :bowrofl:

She did get a solid F-ing from me over the winter, and she liked it! haha.

Looking good Mark! You know what's worse than pulling out the tail lights once? Pulling them out again after everything is back together because you forgot to put the bulbs back in :p

....wow
