New tail lights!

Oh forgot to mention I got tuned last Thursday. I chose the best day ever, it was hella humid and like 90 degrees.

Still made 315/256 which is decent but tuner is cool, so letting me go back in the fall/winter for a retune for free when it’s cooler.

I got the Uprev tune with arc license, so I have the hooligan pops n bangs, and flames, looks and sounds pretty cool, but only use it for videos. I’m responsible with it I promise lol.

Haven’t tried launch control or burnout yet, but will at some point…

Replaced the coupler in my heater hose. I was warned it would likely break upon removal. It broke in half and the pieces left in each tube disintegrated as I tried to remove them

I will be straight up. I am not a good passenger at all.

Neither is my fiancee... She kept trying to stomp a hole in the floorboard on the way to Madwi's.

You can't blame her. She just wasn't used to all that extra power coming from the hood vents and oil cooler

New tires on the Z. Fuel starve worse than ever

abm89 · 08-20-2021, 10:09 PM

Dude, you gotta fix that. I think I've only fuel starved once, and that was when I put the wing on and tried to do T2 Counter-clockwise at MSR-H full tilt.

Zingston · 08-21-2021, 05:48 PM

No Jeep parts this weekend... got new tires for the Z.

I read that very detailed thread from July on spark plugs, learned a lot.

I think the first post was the only one about spark plugs

New set of Carbotech XP8 brake pads installed. What should have been a 45 min job turned into a front caliper rebuild because I let one of the old sets of pads wear down to the backing plate

As a result a couple of the boots were torn. Had to resurface the back face of the rotor and went ahead and did new seals and bleeder valves. As a side note, I found it was plenty easy to do the rebuild without taking the caliper halves apart and it was easier to put the boot on the piston first and then tuck the boot and ring into the gap around the piston (as opposed to installing the boot and ring into the caliper and then trying to slide the piston down through the boot).

For anyone interested, here's an example of what NOT to do with your brakes

It’s only noon and I didn’t do anything with my Z yet, but I did cancel my tune I had scheduled for Saturday. No point in doing it since I’ll be looking to get into the new Z. I will be taking her out later for a full detail and roam around town
