Spent most of the day in Clearwater today getting the amp and speakers installed. Then on the way home, stopped by the pond to take a few quick pics... Mainly because I wanted to smell that good ole' sea air. I miss living over in that area.

Where was the location you took your pictures? I'm in Largo and can't recognize the area.

Looks like Courtney Campbell Causeway (SR 60 between Clearwater & Tampa) to me.

Got oil changed and refreshed Freon... my a.c. struggles a bit when it's over 28*C

5000km driven this year... probably going to not get much more than that lol

Time to save up for a new set of tires next year!

Last week I deep cleaned the defrost vents in my upper dash. Here's a DIY:

Step 1. Remove windshield
Step 2. Clean vents

I found the easiest way to get the windshield removed was to have a rock hit it and crack it, file for insurance, and have Safelite replace it. A low comprehensive deductible is highly recommended.

It also helped that the technician was super friendly and very professional and gave me a 50% discount (amounted to $50). The Z is really a pain in the a$$ for these guys compared to most every other car. So I helped him remove everything that needed to come off and then put it back with him, too. He was very appreciative, and we had good conversations while we worked :tup:

I got the check engine light though and my synchro isnt working so I might try a reset and do it again. I left the door open but I think maybe the key got in range. For the guys with the Sprint booster did it screw with your synchro settings?

No great mod changed the way the car drove. Darn i love that thing.

Yup, that's exactly where I was. I just had to stop and breathe in some of that salty air before heading home. I miss living in St Pete. We used to go to the beach all the time, especially in the evenings to watch the sun set.

Finally! A step-by-step DIY that even I can follow. I can't wait to get started. Now I just need to locate a flying rock. I will be on the road for five hours or so tomorrow, so maybe I'll get lucky. Now to check my comprehensive deductible ...

Dammit! This thing is already becoming more complicated than I thought.

Thank you, not my normal route. I will have to get out that way more often.

Great looking Z by the way:tup:

You're welcome. I don't out that way much either unfortunately. I need to though. Just difficult to find the time, even on my weekends off. It sucks.

And thank you for the compliment! :hello:

After 700 miles I finally got around to checking my tire pressures... They all read 45, 10 PSI high, surprised the ride wasn't more jarring. I did notice it seemed more wiggly than my last Z, probably from the tires not making full contact with so much pressure. All good to go now, feels good!

Be sure & check them cold; before the sun hits them & before driving,,,as the pressure will rise as they get warm.

+1.

If you are running straight air, they can raise a crap load when hot. I've seen mine in the past go up near 10 pounds when real hot.
