Raf, can you tell me how your rear spats installed? Did you make any brackets to keep them in place? I just got mine in and I'm trying to figure out how to properly secure them to the bumper.

Fisheye Z.

testing a retouch option on my camera.

There's a tool that body shop uses but do not know what it is called. Also, use silicone to hold it. VHB will not last long.

CSC #2 aaarrrrghhh
 

So last night I sensed a noticeably different and much lighter feel on my clutch pedal. Checked CSC and topped it off (clue#2). Today I hesitantly drove it to work and sure enough, the pedal bottomed out while on the freeway and managed to steer the car to side. I planned for it by taking a bungee cord along with me. Strapped the cord to the pedal and held it on my left hand while holding onto the steering. Right hand to switch gears. Drove it 7.5 miles using this technique through freeway traffic and on surface traffic until i got to Specialty Z. This by the way is my 2nd incident. No big deal. Knowing how it is, I was not upset but rather prepared and ready to handle it.

The good news.....They have parts!!!!!! Picked up the Maxx Street clutch flywheel combo with the Tilton slave. The other good news, they drove me to work on Greg's Cayenne. Great service. Seb was out. He and his wife had a baby over the weekend. Car was in the shop until 4:45.

More about the items installed later.

I glad everything worked out okay for you. Now no more clutch woes.

It's nice to have a great shop close by when trouble arrises. :tup:

waiting for my kit to be done, I have the JDM Fujimura front with the LEDs but they didn't include the LEDs so I have to have a shop custom fabricate individual LEDs in. Then it will be off to the shop for paint and install along with the duckbill and amuse rear. This project is taking way too long.

which skirt did you get?

Thanks Raf. That picture helped me get an idea how to go about mounting it. Do you happen to know the type of silicon they used?

Smart move using the bungee cord! I will keep bungee cord in the trunk handy from now on.

Good thing you have not installed RJM pedal. You need to wait until the new clutch is broken in.

I bought the same style skirt but in c.f.. Was going to paint it pw and leave the edges c.f.. Now thinking of going in a diff direction. Can't wait to see your finished product.

David - I forgot the name but PM Lohit and he will tell you.

Ah nic4, I still have mine sitting around after I changed my mind. I will do a part out of the parts I bought but didn't use after everything is done.

hoping to have majority of them finished by the end of the month.

note to self... carry bungie cord in z at all times...

My Z got hurt today
 

Rear ended along Topanga Canyon. Clearly the guy was not paying attention. He was far enough AND I was brake checking so he could see the lights. Did not work.


Not sure how he could have done it this way. Looks like it drove upwards after the initial impact.

This will not buff out.

Latch is bent. Hatch wouldn't open as freely as it used to.
