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

BettyZ · 06-10-2019, 06:22 PM

My legs were getting damn hot during my road trip last week so I wrapped the driver's side Y pipe (ran out of wrap for the last 5 inches.) Interested to see if this keeps temps down on the only side that matters (mine.)

Wrap the other side too, to keep things equal.

down pipes and Y pipe should be wrapped, or LTH/ mid pipe for the FI guys, until you are past the trans a bit wrap it up

Washed it! Also very therapeutic for me!

Ian B · 06-10-2019, 08:17 PM

Got it washed today and fueled in preparation to start work week tomorrow.

BettyZ · 06-10-2019, 09:31 PM

Took 2 hours but the grime from 2,100 miles of road trips last week is finally off. Cut off the beat up neoprene lip. Put aluminized heat barriers on the nuts and backing plates for the driver/passenger harness eyebolts; they mount inside the trans hump and were burning hot to the touch after about 8 hours of driving. Also ordered a Zoom Engineering inside mirror! Ab to push another tune update from Seb.

Installed Annex Coilovers yesterday for the fronts. I love them and I didn't even to the rears yet!!! They fixed my car's dive bombing under heavy braking and it feels so stable. Also, I was amazed of how much more comfortable they were to stock even though the springs are 12k. Highly recommend they for anyone new coilovers and don't know what to get. Smooth ride with way above stock performance.

I suspect this isn't the question you're expecting, but... where did you get those gloves?

Lol got them at Home Depot. They protect your knuckles from getting destroyed from working on the car. I've had enough bruises and swollen hands to know I needed these this time around along with the breaker bar and PB blaster which went so smooth.

It's dangerous down there.. first time I tried to install a FUCA the steering knuckle swung down and punched me in the face.

Sounds like you should be wearing a hockey mask, and a cup.

BettyZ · 06-10-2019, 11:47 PM

Haha funny you say that.. I had this on the next time I pulled the FUCA.

I presume it's very effective against splashback
