wait, how did everything explode? did you hit something?

so the bolts and everything were all still in the bumper, however the plastic broke off?

Correct.

I ran through some road construction, hit a bump and boom... I was watching plastic in my rear view mirror come out from under my car.

The plastic part that was bolted to the bumper was there, but everything that stuck outwards broke off.

There wasn't anything in the road for me to run over, but it was a gnarly bump.

mother!

if this breaks off ill be mad. it was still $245. do you know how much yayo stuff can be bought for that

Took an associate out for lunch in my car.. they were loooooving it lol

:tup:

:tup: use large washers if you can as your FRP can crack pretty easily not from just the install screw torque, but if you bump something while motoring. :)


damn... :ugh2: but at least you know now it ain't going anywhere with 16 fasteners! lol dang... like you went trigger happy with your drill.. :rofl2:

they? you fit two girls into that passenger seat? wow! :tup:

i wish i had a drill like kenchan.

:icon18:

you luv this one... but too big to use under the car unless lifted waaay high. :D

haha we met her other friend there... but they both could have fit!

i had one in the trunk once.

:tup: i like girls that take care of themselves. i see too many fat chicks in my area.. :ugh2:

you mean a drill? :icon17:

nope. dead hooker(s)

I'm still sporting my OEM lip thus far.... I've scraped it a few times, but hopefully it won't explode like the pics from the previous page.... lol.

I am however thinking of going with Swift Springs or Eibach's some time... I wonder how much I will scrape then?

No Z action today... heavy rains this morning. Wife and I going on a date tonight to see Cap America. If rain holds off, Zena comes out.

:icon18: lol... scary thought.

have fun out there G2Z! :tup: i still think the Ings will give you better clearance than the factory front diffuser. :)

i know, id hate to get the trunk dirty.

thanks Ken...

So how you liking your INGS lip? no scrapes? Also, if I remember correctly you did a LOT of work to it prior to install, right? :icon14: I worry that I don't have the painting skills you do...

so far it's been great! :tup: no scrapes and i luv how it made the front look tight and finished. :yum:

yah, i did 3 levels of wetsanding after first filing off the resin where the top and bottom pieces were glued together, cleaned up the edges using enamel black paint, then used UV clearcoat (many coats), and polished to a nice factory shine at the end using my detailing gear.

i suppose you can have a bodyshop do the work for you for $100-150 or so.

I have Swifts and even though the drop isnt as severe as say H&Rs I scrape a lot. Def gotta be extra careful. When my buddies heard I was lowering it they thought I was crazy. Roads are pretty rough around here lots of dips and what not. I may end up trimming that piece and the two smaller ones in front of the wheels for a tad more clearance. If you are on the fence about which springs to buy def spend the extra $100 and get the Swifts. The change they have made in my handling characteristics is unbelieveable, especially for springs. More than worth the money.

^^^ Second that on the Swifts!

I love this thread! You guys rock. I needed some Friday humor!!!

No roadster for me until early next week. Tires will be here monday and camber kit Tuesday. You can almost see the air in one of my rear tires. :)

Lol you could almost see the air in my rear tires by the time I swapped them too! I also agree, I love this thread, prob my fav. Hell, I love this site! Its my homepage for crying out loud.

Buying EVOHUNTER's Stillen HFC's and Gen3 intakes for $550! What a deal!

:tup:

Where abouts do you live?

I am in the city with the 2nd of 3rd most over weight people to population size in Canada lol

Oh is that the one that was using the homedepot pvc pipe cause one of the tubes were damaged in a crash? :icon17: ;) jk, good find!

Yah, but your "over weight" is not OVERWEIGHT :eek:like in the US. I'm in the Midwest....home of fat pouring out of skimpy cloths that don't fit. Yuk :ugh2:

Drove my car to work tonight.

Spandex should be a privilege NOT a right. :eekdance:

Mr. Kenchan,

You live around people like this?

‪PEOPLE OF WALMART 2!! FUNNY!!‬‏ - YouTube

I had to turn it off... I just ate.

:icon18:

All of a sudden I realize that I really like tour wife! :tup:

This post is so full of WIN!:tup:

Hahaha, yah one reason why HATE going to walmart...its not the store, its the people that shop there. :D I'm glad I only go there once a yr to pick up my oil...all 3 cars worth in one trip.

Well, not so fast. She's not the one who's paying. :D

Same for me.... by far my subscribed thread that I keep coming back to. What's surprising? The OP doesn't post on here anymore... LOL. Dare I start a NEW "What did you do with your Z today" Thread?!?!?!?!

(don't dare me... I will do it) :D

Took my Z to formula D qualifying round today! Followed up with a parking lot drift for good measure :tup:

Rain and rain this weekend. Looks like my Z is going to take a break this weekend... :(
We had a very stubborn stagnant heavy t-storm last night. No issues with flooding at my place but man that was A LOT of rain!! Almost 3"

Stay dry today. I miss summer thunderstorms. We just don't get them here.

My Z work planned for the weekend:

• Wash and interior clean the 370
• Cabin air filter 370
• Install carbs/intake and tune on the 240

That's about it. No motoring planned.

We need some rain in Jersey, send it this way. Its been like 100 all week! Yesterday at my job we put two thermometers on the front deck of the store, one in the shade and one in the sun. The one in the shade read 115!! The one in the sun was maxxed out over 120!!!! Gonna be over 100 today too. Givin the Z a little rest today and taking the canoe down the Delaware w my girlfriend.

Amen! Down here too. Gonna leave the Zs alone this weekend. Have to shoot some pictures at noon and then out to kayak somewhere.

I've got a weird clunk coming from my driver side rear coilover area... going to pull the wheel off and check it out. I hope a bolt just came loose...

Other than that... I ain't doing sheeeit! First relaxing weekend in a long time!
