I'm waiting until end of April at this rate. Rome still has 3 feet on the ground and mounds of salt everywhere. We need a few good rainstorms to wash all the crap away.

On a side note. Get ahold of me this summer so we can go for another cruise. I've had a lot of work done since our last install day.

Lots of rain this week....

Tomorrow (will be near freezing but....) gonna do the first start of year, get tires inflated and gonna gently send it.

Yes there is still some snow mounds. No. I will not be patient!!

PITA to install Whiteline poly differential bushings a few years ago. Found a set of SPL solid bushings in Houston that I will be purchasing

So you going to swap out the Whiteline diff bushing for the SPL diff bushing?

JARblue · 03-15-2019, 09:51 PM

Yup

I will wait to do them at the same time as the SPL subframe bushings.

When to grab something out of the Z.
Closed the door, and the window motor starts to make a clicking noise (both sides).
Grab keys, go to start the Z.
Doesn’t start, battery dead.
Grab jumper cables, start the Q.
Hooked up the Z, it started.
Let it run for a couple minutes.
Decided hey let’s drive it.
Went to the donut shop, left it locked and running.
Some guy says is that you car?
Reply Yes.
Do you wanna sell it?

What timing! I shut my door last night and the clicking happened to me! Thought I busted some sensors or something!

Yeah it doesn’t get driven a whole lot so I’ve had to jump it before. But never heard that noise before.

Me either. When I shut the door I was like wtf! tried to disconnect the battery as fast as possible.

JChammond told it to check the battery too so I tossed it on the charger and I was going to check on it in a few hours.

Yeah seems to have corrected it self, probably the low volts just could not get the window to seal up when door open close. Then it just keeps trying till it does. In this case it wasn’t going to. Probably has been sitting 2/3 months. But after it did start felt good on drive.

Damn thing feels slow compared to the Q but way more nimble that’s for sure.

Ops...

40k mile service officially complete:

- StopTech Street Pads installed and brake fluid flush with Motul 5.1 using a Motive Power Bleeder and Longacre Brake Bottle Bleeder. Made the job clean and simple. Two tools that I highly recommend for the DIY guys and gals out there.

Still have to set aside time to replace the differential bushings and add the Z1 subframe inserts

mishuko · 03-18-2019, 01:11 PM

Guage sweep before the first mini drive. Godamn few things came to light right away...

1) the feedback through the wheel/chasis is real! Had to have the wheel like 5* off centre to stay straight on some of the roads

2) road noise... after that quiet comfortable is350 ride its night and day for obviously different tastes

3) acceleration... so nippy. Even if i eased first gear and didnt really hard wot 2nd or 3rd cause temps suck still picks up. Got a bit too carried away then realized i was going a tad bit fast for the roads... had to back off. oops

4) everyone wanted to race me... lol like easy there buddy in the mazda 3 and acura suvs... i just trying to take it easy.

5) i love this car lol

5.1) the car is doing more than 15L/100km (15mpg) and i was "babying it". Cannot wait to really giver
