Just ordered 4.08 ring and pinion gears and high capacity differential cover from Z1 Motorsports. I'll be having Whiteline differential bushings installed too.

I finally got the harness to install my old screen into the Z. The one that was installed when I got it crapped out last Saturday. A week with out tunes was brutal.

ChopsZ 06-24-2017 08:08 PM

Got my Z a little lower today.

Broke in new brake pads and rotors today after replacement yesterday, which included:

Pad/rotor replacement(stoptech/duralast golds)
Brake fluid flush(motul 5.1)
A disc fall on my foot
Bang my head about 20 times on wheel wells
Busted knuckles
Cussing every word in existence
Throw 1 of the 4 seized rotors a distance 10 feet after removing

Changing brakes/rotors is not hard, but i found it very time consuming, especially since i have spacers, i had to find a way to remove the seized rotors/spacer using some nuts/bolts/washers and pushing them out from behind the rotors :shakes head:

Im ashamed to say it, but i think next time ill just take it to a shop :icon23:

/vent over :ugh2:

Surprisingly enough, both my friend and I completed the full task totally unscathed. And since he doesn't cuss very much if at all, I didn't either. The only thing that sucked and I could have cussed about yesterday's project was the muggy nasty heat.

Installed Clazzio seat covers yesterday. Inexpensive upgrade for a 118,000 mile car.

Edit: Wrinkles gone from the driver's seat after a few days and tightening the straps. I frickin' love these things. Glad I didn't piss away money for Recaros.

What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)
 
It was a little eventful, but I had no instructions. Had to find generic instructions on line and they were only a little help.

And thanks to user pickardracing for hooking me up with these.

Flashed a slightly updated tune, not for performance, but to keep the P2096 and P2098 from coming back when I do sustained highway runs of 30 miles or more.

JTM88 06-25-2017 07:08 PM

I ordered a tune from Specialty Z, super excited to get it.

You were lucky, man. I had no help except for bleeding the brakes. Enlisted the help of my grandfather, 83, for the task. :eek:

He looked happy after we were finished, either he liked the Z or was just glad that we were done :icon17:

Just installed a $12 license plate light backup camera. It's a brighter image than my $300+ Kenwood. Of course the Kenwood is 7 years old, so it's pretty old tech.
I bought the camera strictly for the light fixture and was going to fit my Kenwood camera into it. Plans have changed.

$12 Chinese camera:

Kenwood:

The Kenwood has 5 different views and they all suck.

Driftomodachi 06-26-2017 07:24 PM

I just ordered the same camera how do you like it? I like the stealth mounting

The only thing that I miss from the Kenwood is all of the adjustability, but honestly this one is near perfect out of the box. Adjustability is worthless when you can't see anything clearly.
Waiting for it to get dark outside to see if the night vision is any good.

Went through my daily commute today, paying attention to any scrubbing or bottoming, and nothing. The only scrubbing is from the front wheel spats. Makes sense as I can barely get my big toe under it now since the install of the Ark GT-S springs. :nutswinger:

looks great, man :tup:

Have you thought about spacers? They give a good stance

Bought 55 gallons of Ignite e90 for the beast!!! She is a happy girl....:p

Thanks!

Not now, since the tires are a bit tucked. I had originally planned on possibly up-sizing tires are well at some point, but not sure that would work either now.

And keep in mind, I haven't done an alignment yet (doing that tomorrow hopefully), so won't have as much camber in the rear as it sits now.

I want to flush my clutch fluid completely. I know it's usually use two people but is it possible to use a pneumatic brake bleeder instead of a second person or would that royally **** things up?

Do not use a brake bleeder. I tried this and it made bleeding the clutch harder. Best tip for you is suck out the old fluid from the reservoir and replace with fresh fluid as you bleed the clutch. You will need 2 people unfortunately.

Just need one person. The CSC will gravity bleed with ease. Just suck out all old fluid from the CMC reservoir, clean with lint free rag, and top it off. Loosen the clutch bleed screw and have a pan underneath. Crawl out from under car and top off when it get's low. When clean fluid is coming out, close bleed screw and top off. Don't mash the clutch when you have the bleed screw open or you will suck in a boat load of air. It will take about 15min.

You already did the data logging and e-tunes, or is it just the "off the shelf" tune?

JTM88 06-30-2017 07:57 AM

Just an off the shelf tune, Seb did have me data log it though and he made some changes to it.
