Oh... not bad. Only got up to the low 70s here in FLA yesterday.

The height is now set on my new coilovers.

Thanks!

They feel awesome. It handled great with the Swifts, but there really is a night and day difference. Although, I've got to figure out a solution because the front tires are rubbing on the fender liner tabs upon compression. I definitely don't want to raise them, even a little. I think I remember seeing a thread on how to relocate the tabs, so I'll find that and give it a shot.

Can't wait to really try them out next month.

One Dremel cut off wheel, Gone!!!! Don't take it all just the raised part of the plastic. Make it the same contour of the fender liner.

Or just drive normally for a few hundred miles they’ll sort themselves out lol

Put on my passwordJDM CF cooling plate today. It doesn’t cover that much more than stock so I’m not sure how effective that it will be, but it looks nice. :ugh2:

Mine rub at stock height with the 275/35-19 tires. On the track. I'm using all of my suspension travel. :driving:

It probably doesn't help that I'm running 265s in the front.

Somewhere down the line. Would like to put 325/30-19 on the front to go along with my 345/30-19 in the rear. I would be almost square then. :eek:

That is on a 9.5in rim. LOL I run the same 285/35/19 on a 10in rim. It's not bad to fit at all. Now a 10.5in. rim is a challenge on the front to fit properly without a ton of camber.

Well I finally got to drive the Z again since last November. Moved it from my old house to my new garage. The weather was good enough to get it out about a month ago, but I didn't have my new garage built yet. I just need to get electric ran and then finish the inside. It's good to have it back. So now I have to get the Harley's from my brothers house. :tiphat:

Wrapped my Z1 intakes with DEI Reflect-A-Gold. Interested to see what reductions I log in AIT. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8e074c12af.jpg

I just wrapped mine too a couple months ago, I think it dropped like 14 degrees? Can’t remember, maybe 19? It was in the teens though. Same brand tape.

I actually got the idea from one of your threads lol. At speed, my temps are 7 degrees above ambient, so I don't think gains (losses?) like yours are possible on this fallen world. But I can always hope! Lol

Well hell, I live in TX and don’t have an oil cooler, so my temps were high! Got a Stillen 25 row oil cooler now, just need to get some free time to install it. And I’m sure the tape could never hurt -shrug-

Edit: also my car looks like it’s sponsored by NASA now with it being white and black with gold foil tape Lolololol

Edit edit: OMG I should get a custom license plate that says APOLO37 lolololololololololilolljjlllgioolol

The 25 row will help you, I've been running a Setrab Series 9 25 row but just bought a Series 6 34 row, waiting for it to arrive. Did you get an oil cooler kit?

I'm gonna take credit for that one, even though someone else probably did it before me. :rofl2:

I hope you got the Setrab Core. I was running the gold series and I now have a micro-leak in the core. I did run the car without the grille mesh for a while, which could have contributed to it, but I haven't hit anything. I have a new 34 row core on the way.

Side note, I cleaned my garage and shredded about 3 bags worth of old *** mail. What does that have to do with my car?

I moved it outside:

Did something I thought I'd never do and bought a duraflex front bumper. I'm curious to see how this goes.

The mesh may be getting done to match the wheels. I'm leaning towards not doing that though
