What did you do with your Z today

Did an LED swap. Blue map lights/trunk and hyper-white for license plate. Looks great!

I took my 370 out to the Volvo Club of America autocross event at Mather Field -- just to watch. Friggin amazing, some of these built Volvos. Who would have thought? Lowered and tuned Volvo Station Wagons with Sparco seats. Wow.

Both of my sons drove their cars -- a 1983 Volvo 244 and a 280zx turbo. Here is a clip of the 280zx run. 2 cones lost their lives.

YouTube - 280ZX Turbo at VCOA Autocross May 14th

And a few shots:

I enjoyed the video. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Installed M370 intake manifold along with k&n drops-ins and HPS post-maf tubes. Next on the list is ART pipes.

I used the HPS clamps. They are bit bulky but seem pretty solid.

As for the breather hose, do you mean the passenger side or the driver side? The chamber that fits on the passenger side HPS tube was definitely not a great fit. I'm not sure if having it floating (since it doesn't attach to the M370) helps things or hurts.

Thanks for the info. Yah, I was wondering about the passenger side...

Well.... Tonight, I finally opened a package that's been on display for almost a month. I ordered this a month ago, and I've had it for almost that long... but just never got to open it and play with it. I finally did tonight. I am a geek, what can I say. I think the RC yellow Z handles as well as Zena I really like how the paint is also pearlescent, just like my pearl white. hehe.
