What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

abm89 · 04-28-2019, 12:16 PM

Did some Tetris installing the larger 34 row Setrab core. 7 quarts of oil later and everything is running great.

Now i just need to save for the road-race fuel kit and some new 40 profile RS4s for the track wheels.

You have pics / description of how you did the upper mount for the cooler? I'm ramming my face into a wall trying to figure it out.

my original kit (stillen) doesnt use an upper mount. I used the existing hardware on my lower mount and it doesnt really move.

Got my car re-tuned and put on the dyno finally. Very happy about the responsiveness and numbers my Z laid down.

Congrats!
So weird that they’re selling 2020s already.

Yep. Times change.

I am old enough to remember when it was a big deal when new models of Fords, GMs, and to a lesser extent Chryslers came out. The dealerships would stay open after 5pm (big change!) and put the new cars on display on a weekday evening.

Seems like half the town would stop by to take a look. I think only the Christmas parade and HS football games drew bigger crowds.

Cat exhaust installed and sounds great without drowning cabin. Unfortunately the tips are hitting the side of the bumper and Kevin was not able to adjust away from bumper. He suggested to take to muffler shop as they can fix it and avoid burning the bumper. Going tomorrow to see if a muffler shop near me can fix it. Meinke said they csn put heat on the hangers to bend and have tip not rest against the bumper and cause damage. Will post photo and sound later today.

I haven't posted in a while so here goes...bought some Bridgestone S007As and dropped off the OG TE37s for reconditioning to swap the CR2Ps out. I've been running the Work wheels since 2015 and they are a pain in the *** to clean. Plus I'm tired of looking at the Rays in my guest room.

After checking ground clearance entering my driveway and speed bumps in my neighborhood. I installed the factory front lip, left and right front air guides.

Which CBE did you get? If you already mentioned and I missed it, I apolgize!

Remove the 3 bolts holding the hanger rubber doohickey. Add at least .25 inches of washers to each bolt between the car body and the triangle. That should give you space. It's what I did for my FI exhaust to level them out.

Damn it, I had seen this exact same thing on YouTube and forgot all about it. Thanks for the idea. That will be a quick easy fix.
