I cleaned the car a few days ago. I tried a new wax, Turtle Wax ICE liquid wax, I think it is big time underrated. Applied it and the car was looking better than ever. The best thing is that its anti static and it keeps dust (majority) from clinging to your car, it's insane. Usually if I sued Meguair's gold glass wax (which is an amazing wax in its own right) it would give the pop but not the anti static property.

Is almost like a liquid clay bar, works great ...

Done installing the Optima battery and replacing the license plate frames.

More than likely it's belongs to a good friend by the name of Justin. He just picked it up earlier this week. Have not seen it in person yet just a few pictures.

It does not disappoint. that's for sure. He's probably still breaking it in because he was definitely taking it easy on the tollway where i basically go full wangan mode.

Cleaned and Washed the Z and did the headlight restoration.
Car look nice me no so much, ended like a roasted pig.

before and after

ZX_man · 08-08-2020, 06:45 PM

GoMiniGo front licence plate mount, oil change, and Z1 undershroud

Props to everyone at GMG. They make a great product and have excellent customer service. Would recommend to anyone.

I made a crash bar which I'll mount my radiator to

I just got a worrisome call from Austin Z Clinic. He removed the lower oil pan and found some uncomfortably large metal shavings in it (like 1/8"+). The last time I drove it, I certainly wasn't having any issues. Going to stop by after work and take a look for myself and have a discussion with Kevin about where we go from here

I'm not really interested in tearing apart my engine unnecessarily. But I don't want to do a bunch of work and then find out that we do need to tear into it

Spent most of the fluff fund for the Z on an M3 for my daily driver so we'll just have to see what happens now and how quickly.

Used engine is about 500 - 1000. Food for thought.

Oh I know how cheap they are. But I'm building a track car for reliability, so I can't really afford to go the cheap route, and especially not with an unknown used engine. I'd rather keep the original one and rebuild it if that's what it takes.

Just go into the used section here and buy 3 of them. Be sure to store them in your living room for the next 6 years for extra JARness.
