Ethanol content is slowly creeping down, so I'm now using the Z as my primary vehicle when possible. I also ordered a stack of miscellaneous parts to fix some broken or missing items (exhaust hangers, cat brace, battery cover, etc.)
I installed the Zspec strut bar titanium hardware (black). It looks really nice. I also installed the Lasfit LED retrofit for the headlights. combined with the STi lenses I have in the housings already, it's a huge difference in low beam performance. I'm glad I went with that considering I'm not a huge fan of the Morimoto design. Next on the list is a carbon engine cover and cooling plate, as well as a new Sparco 383 and works bell quick release (the latter two items are ordered) Last edited by abm89; 12-13-2021 at 03:56 PM. |

Went offroading in the Z. Another trip to the body shop
![]() ![]() ![]() Sudden maneuver, cold tires, bad input. Driver that caused it drove off so I don't really have any recourse except insurance.

I did receive my NISMO radiator cap today from Japan. Probably the easiest install compared to what I've done lately. |

I've been driving the Z around, still getting rid of any ethanol left in the tank. If it doesn't go down after that, I might have a bad flex fuel sensor that needs swapping. Damn saddle tank.
Tomorrow I'll install the $300 worth of miscellaneous parts to get rid of rattles and replace broken or missing trim pieces. I needed a break as Monday and Tuesday were spent giving my WRX a massive suspension upgrade. |

Never underestimate the convenience of keeping random hardware in a box. I managed to forget to order a few bolts and nuts, but i had enough lying around get the work done.
- New cat brace installed - Driver side exhaust hanger re-installed. I couldn't do the passenger side as the bolt on that one was stripped. Extracting that requires tools I don't have so I'll deal with that side later. - re-adjusted exhaust system - re-adjusted my diffuser (strategic zip-tie supports until i get around to designing custom ones for the middle portion). - installed new front undertray plastic side pieces. Added appropriate hardware - re-adjusted the undertray positioning now that all of the correct parts are in their place - installed new bumper screws as well as the plastic retaining clip that goes into the fender - tied the washer fluid motor out of the way so it stops knocking against my fender. And the result is now only the rattles from my SPL Endlinks! |

So, my ethanol reading was high because my dash (powered off) was causing the voltage to read higher to the car. Now I just need to order the OBD splitter to verify whether the car reads the correct value when the dash is powered on. Unfortunately I cannot check both at once right now.

Added Z1 Oil Catch Cans.
BTW. I've got red Z1 PCV hoses if anyone wants them. I'm going to clean them up and post in the freebies thread, but I thought I'd mention it here. ![]()
