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

Zat_Zuma · 07-26-2017, 11:05 AM

Its been a trying week

Swap out the stockers for the Volk GTF's and go for a cruise on the Hendley
and the Cusco locker doesn't like that and pops, groans, and growls and the whining!

Kill every bug on the road with burning oil puking from the diff and burning on the exhaust.... quite the trip

Stock diff going back in on Friday @ Speedtech. The Cusco is done!

The tire pressure keeps dropping on the rear tires and so .......
take it to a tire shop that I've always used and all the staff has changed
and I don't know anyone WTF?

They say the leak is from the centre of the rim on both rear tires and must be the seal on the rims.

My reply was that I thought these were one piece barrels and you were the last fuckers to touch them when you replaced the TPMS sensors; SO what did you do to them?

My guess is that they damaged the seal when they banded the sensors to the barrel and of course they take no responsibility for it.

Of course it was my believe that the Volk 10.5" rims were a one piece barrel but maybe I'm wrong?

After the car is back from the diff repair, I'll take the rims to a wheel specialty company and them repaired for $75 per tire.

The adventure never ends and thanks for letting me vent lol

I done some simple math on the speed of the SmartCar at 90 + mph.

(WEC x ReCT) - 3498+ (25396 x THS) x pHD + (ZXY x YZX) + square root of 3= to falling off a cliff.

Hope your recovery goes well

P's_Z · 08-02-2017, 06:17 PM

Drove the Z in the rain...

But before it rained, i was able to test the new front swaybar in some neat curvy roads. Car feels awesome

ChopsZ · 08-05-2017, 08:14 PM

Did a little something today. And right as soon as I got everything buttoned up, a freakin' typhoon dropped on us!

Before...

After...

Oh yeah, from what people have said on the forum, the stock door speakers have foam surrounds, paper cones and are 4 ohms. Well, I beg to differ...

Cloth surrounds, poly cones, and 2 ohms! And yes, base, non-Bose system.

Post up some pics once you get them installed.

Yeah, I definitely will. Unfortunately, I didn't get my car back today

Benibiker · 07-27-2017, 10:49 PM

Got a Covercraft UVS100 windshield shade from Amazon to protect the dash and interior. Really good custom fit and well insulated.

Hotrodz · 07-27-2017, 11:07 PM

I got one of those about a month ago and it is awesome! Best sun shade I have ever owned. Got one for the wife's S5 as well. The fit is spot on as stated!!!

After your review I just bought one from Amazon. I was looking at getting one sometime but didn't know which to buy. 114$ CAD shipped to my door. Not too bad

I don't usually leave the car in the sun very long, but that may happen at some point and this will help.

We get days over 115* and between the window tinting and the shad the car is significantly cooler than when I had other shades. I don't even cover my shift knob as it is no longer to hot to handle lol.
