Thank you the370z.com & search...

Hit a large puddle during a deluge at 45ish and then developed a horrible grinding when coasting/ off power

Quick search finding a 2010 comment of someone else who tried to skip their car over a lake mentioning they bent a heat shield up into the drive shaft

Reached under car and popped heat shield back down

small groove scratched into driveshaft but noise free again

Got my coilovers installed today thanks to dragonbreath (as always).

They feel great and we'll get the height squared away next weekend.

Might have missed it what brand coils did you get. I need to go a half inch down on mine and scared as hell to attempt it!

I chose the BC Racing BR Series with the Swift springs upgrade because I drove my buddy's Z with this set up and loved it. I picked them up during Black Friday and got a great deal from Josh at Kamispeed. For my needs, they seem to be perfect and a really good value.

Wheels are on! I decided to wait on the corner-balance/alignment/ride-height adjustment until i made a new splitter (as you can see, the original is doneski). I think I nailed the offsets so the wheel is actually inside the well and not poking out (i let it slide on the track set b/c grip)





I also installed this for shiz and giggles. I'll likely move the rear camera to the outside of the car whenever the pollen dies down.

Nothing I did with or for my Z, but late yesterday afternoon, some moron from work posted my Z up for sale on Craigslist for $8500 cash.

Apparently I was a woman who just lost my husband, so a fresh widow... It was his car and I don't know how to drive a manual.

Around 6pm yesterday at work, my phone started getting all of these random text messages and phone calls. Being slammed at work, I just glanced at the phone once or twice, didn't recognize the numbers and just left it alone until I got off work. By 2am I had well over 100 texts and 19 voice mails!

As of about an hour ago and a couple stern emails to Craigslist, the ad is gone.

Normally, I wouldn't have cared too much, but the pics showed my place of work AND my licence plate. NOT cool at all. And I know who did it since I could see him in the reflection on my bumper from one of his pictures. Idiot...


Stupid April fools crap...
