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

Sway · 06-07-2019, 11:24 AM

Got my car tuned by admin tuning.
See link to my build in my sig for details

BettyZ · 06-07-2019, 11:25 PM

Broke the seatbelt bracket off my seat mount and welded it back on. I'd say it was an accident, and it was, but I guess I also have a Keynesian approach to car work.. break it so you can fix it.

CF Powertrix spoiler add on is currently setting. I am using three straps and two clamps to ensure the 3M adhesive makes a solid contact for curing.

This should put the finishing touches on my exterior CF highlights:

- Aeroworkz CF front lip
- Evo-R CF mirror covers
- Evo-R CF Door handle covers
- Evo-R CF B pillar covers
- Evo-R CF Rear diffuser

Future changes may include upgrade from Evo-R to Fujimara or Zele for mirror and B pillars. Maybe even Nismo for the mirror covers, as I haven’t seen that either.

Trying to plan budget for next year... i will need tires. Intakes and tune? Hmmmm lol maybe wait til im out of oem warranty for tune...

Will also need rubber too.

Used some of my straight razor strop balm on my seats too moisturize the leather. Especially where it rubs alot. Had a shinier finish now. Mistakes may have been made. Its essentially vaseline lol

Still better than the guy down my street who once used Windex to clean the outside of the car. You heard me right.

Drove it to dinner but, had to rush back home due to severe weather and tornado threat here in Cedar Park, Texas. Skies went black in 20 mins. Scary ****.

Or use spray silicone on vinyl seats in your car and on your motorcycle seat.

The seats looked really good and shiny. Slippery as chit!

Hit the brakes in the car and watched GF go under the dash.

How do you carry the engine bay wash? Do you just spray? I am to chicken to attempt this. .. .

This happened way back in late 70's. I had a '73 Dart Sport 340, swapped to 440, swapped to 572 cubic inch monster. The car had high back vinyl bucket seats. My buddy told me on how great the silicone spray made his vinyl seats looked. So........I tried it.

Cover up what you don't want to get wet, and get the rest wet

But seriously.. I removed the electrical box on the driver fender so i don't need to cover that, but I cover the filters on my catch cans and put plastic sheeting over the battery/hydraulic compartments. Spray the bay with Adams' Eco-Friendly All Purpose Cleaner. Then, and this is the trick, I use a garden watering attachment to wash the bay down. That way there's no high-pressure streams of water finding their way into places that I don't want them. It definitely takes a leap of faith to do but everything in the bay is more or less water-resistant. Think of all the cars with hood vents (I know I've been, after my last trip.)
