The upholstery was done localy.The CF is mostly Evo-R.My buddy has been making the other pieces.He made some molds and a vacum set up.He did sill plates,Roll bar,badges,covers,all kinds of stuff.He is working on rear spoiler extension now for aftermarket spoiler on roadster.

I’m getting my pumpkin with 4.09s back today and installing it tonight! Quick question I’ll be putting in the Z1 front diff bushings(main bushing is already in) and I was wondering if you reuse that metal spacer that is above the stock bushings.

Damn... If you had gotten a kit from leatherseats or katskinz or something I would be updating my wishlist!

Are you talking about the black spacers in this pic? I didn't put them back in. I just checked since I couldn't remember... However, I'm not sure if I was supposed to :-). Anyway it's been operating superbly...

Update: I checked the installation guide on the Z1 website and it doesn't show the reuse of those.

Ordered a new air fuel sensor after the installation of the art pipes apparently broke it. :(

Dodged a bullet today. I just about got rear ended again. This time I saw it coming and chose the median that was a big mud pit. Traction control kick in and I sunk. Oh well. Car is fine just some grass sods to clean off underneath. My neck is good and my car is good. I just got a tow bill for someone to winch me out. I'll pay that any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Wow...glad you are okay brother. You don't need any more chit like that!

nope; not needed.

Once is enough. you don't need that nightmare again.

Noop, I need mud tires.... LOL The state patrol was looking at the car and saying "It doesn't look stuck too bad, see if you can get out." I laughed, with RE11's that are just about gone on the rear. They had to get one of my rear tires on the pavement before I could move. Slick's with grooves just don't cut in muddy grass with a mud puddle on top. The car just sunk. If I get hit again I would not expect anything good. Dead or paralyzed would be my options. Hey, the median sounds good. I was happy as could be.

These wrenches are the real deal-working out back!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...94a397b39b.jpg

^^^^ I love Snap-On hand tools. They are comfy in the hands. It's all I buy for hand tools.

That's all I use. :tup:

My intent was to get the "0" offset & i looked up wrong pt# & got the 15*,,,so i ordered the 0 & kept the 15 as well,,,helps get that X-tra torque!

Good to hear that you are OK.

Here's one to heads-up driving!

Did the perpetrator bear any consequences?

Noop, drove off and left me stuck in the median. I had folks stopping to take pictures and cuss at me. LOL So many losers these days it is unreal.

Hopefully the perp will get their dose of carma someday. My wife and I had two close calls lately. One asshat drove around her on the left when she was making a left turn. She saw them coming in her mirror and they weren’t paying attention and couldn’t slow down. And some lady pulled out of a side street and I had to swerve to miss her. Maybe we do need self driving cars...

Gonna somehow get some soap & water on here today; though the temps aren’t very good....The Sun will be shining. :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9571e3be67.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a7fbd816c6.jpg

Was thinking the same thing here for this afternoon...

19 degrees feels like 12 in Hotlanta, I think I'll stay inside!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b7702eca5e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7061bf1251.jpg

Dern. Was 32 in Winder. It's interesting how we can be so close yet such a temp difference.

:iagree:

Saturday, I did 20mm z1 spacers for my rear wheels (it was a nice excuse to get some thin wall sockets) and figured out how to lower my rear subframe to install the z1 bushing collars. Fairly easy install, but took me a while to figure out what I was doing with the subframe. Never did that before. More on this later when I get to really test the handling improvements.

Paid my Z's insurance bill today... :mad:!

:iagree:

I disconnected my JDM rear fog light - a few of the LEDs failed. I guess the unit isn't sealed very well. And it's not easy to replace with the aftermarket rear diffuser.

I bet SC is more

Maybe.... I'm told I'm getting the low mileage discount, yet I pay about 45% more for the Z than my Jeep. Oh well, it's definitely not a deal breaker, just slightly irritating two times a year. :icon08:

When I had my car at Specialty Z for my sc tune, I had them install all the sensors, relays and wiring for my two gauges. Here's a crappy picture of the finished cubby panel I fabricated.

How about some numbers from the tuning session?

A2a kit, 9lb pulley. 472 on 91 octane, 541 on e85.

That soooooo reminds me of a robot face. Sorry. :rofl2:

I'll let you get away with that because you're older than me. Actually, only a year. Dammit! :icon14:

Installed the GTR Start/Stop Button to replace the faded stock one.

Looks sexy, just need to get used to it not being back-lit.

My favorite number came up on the Dyno, lol:

Which trim head do you have and what about headers/exhaust set up? Curious cause I'm going to upgrade to the A2A kit soon..

:icon17:

Si supercharger, stock exhaust headers, test pipes and fast intentions cbe.

Ok, right on. I have the SI trim head as well along with a Fast Intensions TDX Turbo cbe, but stock headers and cats on 91 oct. I have the smaller stillen pulley and plan on getting long tube headers when I get the A2A kit going so I'm curious to see how close I can get to 500hp..

I would think you'll be right up there.
