What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

JTM88 · 01-12-2018, 08:11 AM

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.

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.

These wrenches are the real deal-working out back!

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?

Noop, drove off and left me stuck in the median. I had folks stopping to take pictures and cuss at me. LOL So many losers these days it is unreal.

Hopefully the perp will get their dose of carma someday. My wife and I had two close calls lately. One asshat drove around her on the left when she was making a left turn. She saw them coming in her mirror and they weren’t paying attention and couldn’t slow down. And some lady pulled out of a side street and I had to swerve to miss her. Maybe we do need self driving cars...

When I had my car at Specialty Z for my sc tune, I had them install all the sensors, relays and wiring for my two gauges. Here's a crappy picture of the finished cubby panel I fabricated.
