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

Well, I tried to install the base tune, from Specialty Z, last night and got an error. Looks like there might already be an UpRev tune on the car so I've reached out to a local shop that uses UpRev to see if they can flash it back to stock so I can install the ECUTek Tune. Hopefully they're able to!

Great news, the shop was able to revert me to the stock tune and I got the base tune from Seb installed and the first logs sent off to him. Weirdly, I didn’t notice much difference between the UpRev tune and the stock tune. That said, the throttle mapping in the lower revs is much better with the ECUTek tune! It’s hot as hell here right now so we’re just working on the warm weather tune lol.

A few months back I experienced a rotator cuff injury. Been on the mend since then. Certain movements are really painful, one of them being lifting a wheel and sliding it onto the studs. Even with light 3-piece wheels, the wheel+tire weighs 45-50 lbs. I was looking for some kind of aid to help me raise a wheel and hold it while I clocked it to line up the studs. At first I tried a floor jack but clocking the wheel was difficult. I decided to try a wheel dolly as it could perform both the lifting function and allow easy clocking of the wheel face to facilitate mounting. I couldn't be happier with the results and would recommend this to anyone in a similar situation. The dolly was about $125 and I picked up some rollerblade-type wheels for $25 because the original ones were crap. I had to build a plywood platform to add height when the car is way up on jack stands but, at lower levels, the dolly is all that is needed.
