I had the same reaction the first time I used Bead Maker. Wait until you see it the next day. :tiphat:

Yeah it's pretty SICK!!! I threw a second layer on this evening and also hit the wheels... I'm trying to not sound like I'm hyping it, but it's been a long time since I've been this impressed with car cleaning product given how little time you really need to spend on it.

Rear rotors and pads over the weekend. Centric rotors had a bad hole pattern on one of them so now I'm waiting on a replacement.

Cudos to Tirerack :tup: for not giving me any grief with the replacement. This post would be different if they had.

$30/gallon is a bargain compared to 30 ml of DYI ceramic coat for $75+.

nothing. too much snow and ice on the roads.

Picked up a set of Z1 slotted and drilled rotors from johnnydrama here on the forum and got them installed this past weekend. Will go with new pads soon. Stocks are on close to 39k miles.

Still haven't gotten to the 5" Motordyne tip install yet.

And I noticed my RE760s in the rear are ready to be replaced soon.

I rolled the car back. It's in the garage for winter storage. Checked the tire pressure as well. Nothing to exciting.

Yesterday I had the h-pipe on mt CBE replaced with an X-pipe. I made a quick video of the new sound. I couldn't be happier with the sound.

For some reason the embedded video isn't working here is the link https://youtu.be/vJJLLBZX1IM

Fixed.

Thanks, I see how it works now. :tup:

Man. I'm glad I just saw this. Mine has a hiss like that when I let up and I thought I had an exhaust leak. Now I can quit fretting about it.

Nom nom!

I had a "pickle jar" incident when trying to remove my old one. I couldn't get the wheel to come loose to save me, so I went to O'reilly's and bought a cheap steering wheel puller.
I got in the car after I returned home and the wheel basically fell into my hands. I guess the cold weather relaxed the metal.
I felt kind of stupid. :rolleyes:

Thanks Hidalgo. Love the wheel.

I finished my Coolerworx shifter install and a Sparco qrt-r seat on Buddy Club rails.

:rock: How long did it take to get the shifter to you? Looks great.

Thanks. It only took 2.5 weeks, I believe.

Making progress with this thing. :shakes head: The splitter is a PIMA.

Looking good!

Hey Bobby, how did they take care of the gap between the bumper and splitter in the very front of the grill on your's? Have any pic's?

Do you have videos from before with the h-pipe for comparison?

I don't have one, but here is a video done by someone else. Mine sounded close to this.

This looks great! Are you going to go full GT Wing to balance out the car?

Go talk to my wifey.

When the cat is away, the mice will play. :)

:icon17: We talked about a rear wing. She just doesn't like the looks of them. Says it takes away from the looks of the Z. If I can talk her into that they look good. I'll get one. (next winter project :tup: )

My wife hates them too. LOL

:rofl2:
If Bobby has his Z at ZDayZ this year. Maybe I can change her mind. :rolleyes:

We shall see on that one. If mine is not done I will be in the Vette. That will ruin your week. LOL

She wants a rag top. :shakes head:

You better pray my car is done. LOL:driving:

:icon17:

Thanks, surprisingly noticeable difference. Did you just have something fab'd up or does CNT make a swappable section?

Yeah, alot of people don't like them, but as someone who ran on the track with only front aero.....it made the car a handful.

My biased vote would be for the Aeromotions wing as you can get it in different heights, and it has a clean look to it:

Front splitter is off in this picture as it was getting repaired (don't judge me!)

Which front splitter you have?

I had a muffler shop weld in an x-pipe. The difference is really noticable especially in the cabin. To me it didn't have any character, now It sounds great.

The one thing I wans't expecting is how much quieter it made the exhaust.

It's a custom-made one my friend and I spent time on back in 2015, then we eventually trimmed it back due it being over kill. It was about 4 inches extended from the already lipped Stillen bumper, but now its about 2 and some change inches. It's an aluminum sheet that is cut into more of a "half splitter" (meaning it only goes on the underside of the bumper, not the full under-tray). The rods are connected to the factory crash bar, so while it's not perfect, it is more than safe and not coming off at speed. I plan on getting the honeycomb carbon and cutting out a revised design that will replace the tray and have a service port. The dive planes were more of a joke as I took My friend's daughter's scissors and free-handed the template out of cardboard.

those no longer exist as i totally F-ed them up pulling into the garage one day.

Side note, I hate installing vinyl. Easily the most frustrating install i've done on the car.

Did the Velox diffuser make any difference. I have one sitting in a box I have not installed.

Good question. I had it installed before I put the wing on. Unfortunatley I did not do a track day with JUST the diffuser (the wing came shortly after) but I did notice better braking stability. As far as pure downforce, nothing comes close to that wing.

It's a good addon if you have the split-style cat back or single (Motordyne, Fast Intentions, HKS, Tomei) because you do not get air trapped in that area behind the rear bumper cover. The company is now Verus Engineering, and it should be noted, I had to do some modification to get that to fit my Motordyne exhaust (3 inch piping).

If you have the cross style exhaust like the Invidia Gemini, or Amuse R1, I don't see it making substantial improvements.

I left the gap and I used some spacer to help support the bumper. I think the gap helps with air flow as well.

That's what I'm doing too.

You can kind of see them if you enlarge the photo.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c5484147d6.jpg
