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

bunk · 07-07-2019, 08:00 AM

The Z's been quarantined in the garage for about 2 weeks due to an overdue oil change. I guess Ill get off my lazy butt and do the oil change this morning.

Currently in the middle of an ART pipe install. Driver side demon bolt giving a little fit and is currently soaking in some lubricant. I did have to loosen the steering column to be able to navigate to that one.

Would be moving swiftly and smoothly if not for that compounded “issue”.

I am looking forward to the sounds of the ART pipes with the Motordyne CBE.

Dropped the trans, installed a Southbend clutch, the 19lb billet steel flywheel and the CMAK from zspeed, put the trans back in and now all thats left is the coolerworx shifter and finishing bolting things back up tomorrow, super excited to drive it.

Update on the ART pipe install:

It seems that my decision to reuse and combine the stock metal o-ring gasket from the ‘top’ of the catalytic converters with Z Speed’s copper gasket has left me with leaks at both header connections.

I’ll need to uninstall the metal o-rings and reinstall without, but the second time around should be much quicker.

I'm appreciating that positive, can-do attitude!

That is the update as written this morning after sleep and dreaming of a corrective install plan.

If it were written last night, HA!! - would be filled with plenty of 'motherfuckin' goddammit!'s

I screamed into one of the mufflers pretending to be a noise maker. Well it was muffled. Can confirm it works.
