True enough, but I live in a pretty dusty area so clean the filters a lot. Its no biggie just a PITA compared to those much more accessible pop chargers. I order body clips in bulk because they tent to break when I pull the fender well clips. I have toooooo many car projects going these days to be pulling my bumper all the time lol.



Its funny how your cool pampered car (the Z in this case) sort of goes on the back burner when you building some new ones. Doh!:stirthepot:

Edit: my brake cooling ducts complicate the bumper pull process a bit. But I’m considering pulling those buggers out anyway as this Z really doesn’t see much track time anymore and my old hoses are so beat up to be basically useless anyhow.


Thank you Jeff Bezos!!!

No big mods recently, but...

The 370 has been my Summertime DD for a year or two but is going to get thrown back onto track day service as my NASA instruction car. The factory 5 would be massive overkill on that role. Also she’s getting reconfigured a bit (tires pads and and exhaust) for Zcon in August!

I’ll run her (and the 240 if it’s done, which is iffy) at the HPR Zcon track event.

Fun.

Just a test fit for hood gaps.

(Oops I posted this in the wrong forum)

TRACK DAY PPIR!! (HPDE)

Track pads (xp10s) in
RBF 600 fluid bled on
18x275 square R888r shoes on
Numbers on

About that, I forgot that our doors are aluminum so my super cool magnetic door numbers don’t really work. (DOH!)

:driving:

Have fun and be safe! I may be in your neck of the woods in August. Right now I am planning to attend a crossover event with NASA at High Plains. Maybe we can hook up or something.

I’ll be in my one of my cars at that event come find me.

Will do!
