Carry on with the good work!

- Redline 75w-90 for the differential fluid change

Should be fun

Got motor, transmission and differential oils changed this weekend. I will say that if I noticed any change at all, it was decreased transmission chatter. So, good in my book!

New StopTech pads arrive today, so brake fluid bleed will wait until this weekend.

Still have to schedule some “shop” time for the replacement and install of the Z1 differential bushings and Z1 subframe inserts.

Always fun to keep the car “in shape” and up-to-date date with maintenance. Trying to make this bad boy a true survivor!

I’m sure we have all except the muffler tool, which is only a store ride away.

Thanks for the advice!

If you do it my way. The only place I found a DEEP 2" hole saw is at Home Depot.

And I used an inside muffler chisel.

Just this last weekend, I raced in an autocross event for the first time with my university's driving club (Baylor Driving Club). This one was hosted by Texas A&M and was in College Station, Texas.

I was one of two 370Zs. Mine was competing bone stock, and the other...definitely was not. A yellow 40th anniversary whose home was the inside of a trailer. License plate was "THE Z"

A hell of an event, a lot of fun, and a fantastic platform for me to further my understanding of my car. I took a couple of photos of Prince after the event (I was too over my head to be taking any during) still all taped up--pictured with Prince is a very, very, content, helmet-haired me.

How are you going to speak of a yellow 40th and not post a picture of it?

Z's are courageous and fierce machines! They are not yellow, no matter how many anniversaries they have been around to live.

He wanted to say yellow isn’t a fitting color for, what he perceives as, the Z’s character.

Happy bday to me. Got my BBK in and made a birthday lasagna for myself. Homemade noodles, bolognese sauce, bechamel sauce, sweet sausage, 30/70 beef, and a brick of parm cheese.
