The last upgrade for now :tup: Yesterday i receive the Z1 Motorsports 20mm Bolt-On Spacers... I can tell you guys that they are from really good quality and fit just perfect! They looks great too from the box but I decide to paint them cause i dont want to see that chrome plate behind my wheels hahaha!!:bowrofl: I forgot to take some pics of the spacers painted in satin black and pics of how they look installed (with the wheels off). Anyway here I leave you with the pics of the spacers out from the box and how they look installed on my rear wheels... This was the mod that my Z needs to complete the look of the new wheels :excited:

I was very happy with the results cause they look like brand new again :happydance:

I dont take more pics cause the night arrive and i have more work to do as you can see in the last pic (is not done yet)... after the last pic i take some time to protect the oil lines with a spare rubber line that comes with the kit that is for the power steering cooler in case that you follow the instructions from Stillen and install your oil cooler on the passenger side... Anyway i use that rubber line to protect the oil cooler lines in places that they can rub with metal... and after that i fits the lines with zip ties and clean everything after install the front bumper :)

Sunday morning...
I wake up at 7am... was a beautiful sunny morning and is time to clean the Z to test the oil cooler :stirthepot:

Z bath... done!!

Then the drive... After a trip from my home to another town... maybe takes 15-25 min... here are a pic of the oil temps...

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/693/2...4793f284_c.jpgimage (6) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

They hold very very good... usually in that trip i can see oil temps around 200-210 and they hold in the 180-185 mark.... outside temps at that moment are around 85-90 degree... im very happy with the results... then uphill trip to my town again i give the real test :stirthepot: drive the Z like if i stole it hahaha!! the oil temps up too 200 :excited: i can said now... this is one of my favorites mods for now by far.... I check the car everyday to see if the car have a oil leak and thanks to God everything looks clean... no leaks... that is something that makes me very very happy cause that mean that i did a good job installing the oil cooler by my self:excited: This Saturday im going to remove the shroud and check that everything looks clean behind that too :)

Well this is all for now... in a few weeks im going to make something but this time is for the exterior :stirthepot:
