Just until you start pulling pieces of rubber out of the radiator. :eek: Then you will install a grill guard. :tup: It's lots of fun being behind someone who starts chucking a tire.

Thankful to have an excellent sales rep; to be continually there for you after the sale.
Jason@Getyourwheels is the man!
As he’s offered to replace my damaged rear 12” wheel at a very special price.
I have to ensure the other one isn’t bent from the roll/wreck.
Trying to be patient through this healing process is very difficult,,,I know I’m getting better-but I definitely didn’t sign up for all of this.

Leingod 02-20-2018 11:27 AM

Can confirm. Still in storage

Spent the weekend at the track and the temps were perfect, mid 70s. Woke up yesterday morning to snow on the car!

It got up to 81 here today. :eek: 3 days ago. We had 5" of snow on the ground. :icon14:

Left the Z at home because was tired and didnt want to deal with the bucket and harnesses.

Now im sad for when i go home because it will be a boring drive.

Well, since it is 77 degrees here in New Jersey...in the middle of February...I installed my lighted kick plates. Might as well enjoy them before the water levels rise and we all drown! I bought my car in December, so I haven't been able to drive it much though. Hopefully there will be no reason to re-salt the roads here again.

gsx95 02-21-2018 06:15 PM

Took it out for a spin today...first time I have driven with the top down, lol. This car is so much better for me than the Miata it replaced!

I wish I was able to drive mine today. I need to limp it over to Procom and get the POS CSC replaced soon

gsx95 02-21-2018 08:11 PM

How did you know the CSC was failing? What were the symptoms?

Clutch engagement basically at the floor set off alarms for me. I have ZSpeed's CMAK that I'm going to put in

Recently collected some more tools, so I was actually able to do more things than oil change :)

Took wheels off, car sat on jack stand for a week, installed LED bulbs front and back, cleaned the wheel well and suspension arms, took brake pads out clean + regrease, and installed RB 2 piece rotors (front).

Felt good being more intimate and hands-on with the car.

Feels good having tools. :tup: My Z has been up on jack stands since last Sept. :eek: You'll like the RB rotors. :tup:

Recently picked up one of the discontinued Nismo titanium shift knobs. Bonus was the custom burnt finish:

Blacked out the front grill area on my 2010 Roadster, installed rear diffuser and spoiler. Then I used red pinstriping tape to add accent color.

DeliriousClam 02-22-2018 12:31 PM

anyone have any suggestions on how to keep my CSC functioning long enough to drive it to the shop? It's a 12-mile/20 minute drive

Looks good, where'd you buy the spoiler?

Found it on ebay. Its an OEM spoiler for the coupe, it fits about 95% to the trunk lid, just had to add a bit of silicone to the interior two bolts. They provide 3M double sided auto autobody tape and bolts with the spoiler, no template.

Called my tire shop to check if they could still get re11s... they can! Yay! Got a prelim quote. Will place an order before a mini road trip to NJ around easter to kill the remainer tread.

Ran it up to redline in 2nd and 3rd on the way home tonight. It was nice. :nutswinger:

Also just ordered one of these, but in clear.

I did an engine oil and differential gear oil flush on a 370Z today. Now I just need to do the same (and more) on my Z. At least she's back in the garage now.

Depending on on the condition of your csc, use a bungie chord. Hold on to it and pull it up each time you shift.

Drove five hours to Seb's house and drop the Z of to have him fix an issue with waste gate and some other handy work. It was 22* when I left home!
