Brah, in this Covid economy I can't afford the extra quart of oil per change.

That stinks! Sounds like Charles has accepted the fault and is looking to make you whole. How many vendors start with that out of the gate?

What was the total time/money lost? Provide a receipt for what it cost to have the shop clean up, hold the car, extra day from work, etc. That at least provides both parties with a verified starting point towards resolution.

The long hibernating Z is finally unwrapped. Time to take her out for a long spirited spin.

First seen them at ZDayZ at the Z1 tent a couple of years back. Picked one part up and looking at it. Asked Spence what the price was. He told me. I put the part down and walked away in disbelieve.

I had a very difficult time with the clutch assembly. I am 6 feet tall and about 245. I had a tremendous time squeezing in this space to get it done. Clutch feels great!
I also got to finally install the hotchkis sway bar (front) and Hotchkis billet brackets today too! I tested it out a bit afterward and it is by far the best upgrade thus far! It is a world of difference (highly recommend)

Hope everyone is safe and making good choices! Have a great evening!

Weather is still not the best here in Toronto, sadly, we have some snow today. Last week Sunday was amazing weather. I took the Z off life support, and rolled her into the driveway.

Power washed, then foam blasted, then power washed again, then applied clay bar with dish soap and water combination (to strip off wax, used a spray bottle for control), then I washed down with water again, then I used a leaf blower, then I used a microfiber cloth to pat her dry, followed up with autoglym super resin polish, then topped off with Meguiars gold glass wax. After that, I added some tire dressing, and took her for a highway run. Back in the garage she sits, until the weather is regularly past 12 degrees.

Also, with this COVID crap there aren't many places to go, so there's that.

The global warmimg rally has been postponed until July here due to cold weather, so i was able to take my Z to the rally venue and smoke the fvck out of my tires and drift where all the hippies would have been complaining and worshipping liberalism.

High fives bros!!!
