I’m getting my pumpkin with 4.09s back today and installing it tonight! Quick question I’ll be putting in the Z1 front diff bushings(main bushing is already in) and I was wondering if you reuse that metal spacer that is above the stock bushings.

Damn... If you had gotten a kit from leatherseats or katskinz or something I would be updating my wishlist!

Are you talking about the black spacers in this pic? I didn't put them back in. I just checked since I couldn't remember... However, I'm not sure if I was supposed to :-). Anyway it's been operating superbly...

Update: I checked the installation guide on the Z1 website and it doesn't show the reuse of those.

Ordered a new air fuel sensor after the installation of the art pipes apparently broke it. :(

Dodged a bullet today. I just about got rear ended again. This time I saw it coming and chose the median that was a big mud pit. Traction control kick in and I sunk. Oh well. Car is fine just some grass sods to clean off underneath. My neck is good and my car is good. I just got a tow bill for someone to winch me out. I'll pay that any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Noop, I need mud tires.... LOL The state patrol was looking at the car and saying "It doesn't look stuck too bad, see if you can get out." I laughed, with RE11's that are just about gone on the rear. They had to get one of my rear tires on the pavement before I could move. Slick's with grooves just don't cut in muddy grass with a mud puddle on top. The car just sunk. If I get hit again I would not expect anything good. Dead or paralyzed would be my options. Hey, the median sounds good. I was happy as could be.

Good to hear that you are OK.

Here's one to heads-up driving!

Did the perpetrator bear any consequences?
