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

BettyZ

Ahh I hadn't thought about that. Have you considered buying a QuickJack? And no, I'm not talking about Rhonda down the block

A what who now?


Zontherocks, no offense, but I thought the Z1 collars are supposed to take maybe an hour if not less?

Haha, not offended. After having done it once now, I can see it taking an hour if I were to do it again. Plenty of time was used to convince myself to not follow the recommendation in the instructions to remove the exhaust, which is different than the single exit in the Z1 installation video (Motordyne’s V-bands can be a pain).

I’m a take my time DIY mechanic, so never any rush when I’m doing the job for the first time.

100%. I've had enough "f*ck me with an unlubed traffic cone" moments that I double the estimated install time.

It's what's holding my car up in this pic. Very sturdy and far safer than putting the Z on jackstands.

I regret not buying one when I had the money and opportunity a few years back... With my kid graduating high school, my funds no longer belong to me.

I would insert a comment about making them figure it out themselves, but then I'd just sound salty lol.

Hunt around for deals, I got mine delivered from Costco at $950.00.

There's an entire quickjack thread on this forum, somewhere...

HEK

I'm thinking about it since I saw it being used by the lady who has a youtube channel "WOMAN DRIVEN"....she is mechanically inclined and nice to the eyes..

Costco is amazing! I need to get one of these ASAP.

BettyZ

I didn't want to spend the $ on it and I'm so glad I did. SoulFunction subframe brace and FI exhaust make jacking from the front and rear points difficult. Now the Z goes on the Quickjack every time I'm doing something that doesnt involve me sitting in the driver seat.
