Friday I went to Wamego KS to the OZ museum, about 90 minutes from KC. It was time to get out of the county to get away from people. :tup:

Sunday afternoon took mine on a high speed run on Hwy 82 to Tombstone AZ, down Hwy 80 to Hwy 90 and back to Sierra Vista. Safely hit triple digits on the speedo.

Oh yeah! On Sunday, I was up early so i got some decent shots of the car:

You would think so, but I haven't seen any in my area. And, the first time you turn them one it's impossible to stop smiling

Looks good my man. :tup:

I drove my Z to the office yesterday for the first time in at least a couple of years :driving:

Parts installed since she last ran: EPS oil gallery gaskets, SuckerPunch oil pump gears, new water pump, new thermostat, ATI damper, PS pump, CZP PS cooler, CJM oil pan, FI oil cooler, ARC coolant reservoir with catch cans, CJM solid motor mounts, Hotchkis front sway bar, SPL front endlinks and SPL FUCAs :rock:

It's probably the ZDDP, which is a very effective anti friction agent and required with 2 engines I own.

I've been running Mobil 1 and notice upper end chatter in the Z near the end of the oil's life (time-wise). I put an ester additive in during the last oil change with the same M1 oil to see if ester actually helps with valvetrain noise. If that doesn't do the trick I'm going to try Liqui Moly Ceramic next.

I used another LIqui Moly additive (lower tier than their ceramic) in a high wear diesel engine I own (not one that needs ZDDP) and it's significantly quieted.

when and where do you plan to shake it down?

Started the install of my new oil pressure gauge. I went with the Revel VLS.
Its pretty close to matching the stock lighting color. It’s all wired up I just need to
Run the harness down and install the sensor.
I will do that come oil change time.

Thought about Lime Creek earlier this evening, but it's been a long day so I had a drink instead. I've got a busy couple of weeks coming up, so I'm really sure when I'll have a chance. Sending you a PM.

I'm planning to sign up for the Austin Driveway driving course when I get new tires. These RE-11s are almost gone.

The Driveway is awesome! I ran there at NF 2015. Bill and Scott are super chill.

Got my headlights back from Oneighty and threw front bumper back on...then got a chance to take a drive down by Delaware River today for some photos.

Next Up: Have appt mid Sept over at RT Tuning for ACT Xtreme clutch kit/ACT Street-lite flywheel/Motul Gear300 75W90 Oil refresh/Zspeed CMAK V2 CSC delete.

Once clutch breaks in the plan is to get boosted.:happydance:

Your Z looks bad to the bone!

I finished installing my oil pressure gauge and installed a new front lip.

What lip is that? I just had to have my bumper replaced (wreck) and was thinking of doing something different.
