I finally cleaned up all the windows! I just recently picked her up, and she had all those stickers on her. Found some medical adhesive remover and a razor blade, and went to work! Took about 30 minutes! Cant drive her just yet, anxiously waiting for Title!

I just consider it a badge of honor. Eventually it will stop scraping. It did until I lowered it a tad with the coil overs and it started up again.

I thought about diamond plate, but I am afraid someone will take it. I am probably going to go with jackhammering it out and repouring with a nice, gentle slope. BTW: I do consider the scrapes a badge of honor, but I eventually broke the tabs that hold the ends in place.

I shoveled around mine.

kenchan 02-23-2011 10:26 AM

i unpacked my wheelset a day or so ago, but that's all the time i had...

wish it would warm up already. im tired of driving my pos honda with stolen hubcap look every frikken day. i get zero respect from lux suv douch crowd (boyz and girlz). :D hahaha.

Dembflyr 02-23-2011 11:32 AM

Still working on my headlights. I must say that it's no wonder that these mods cost so much from the vendors here. This is some tedious work.
I am out of town a lot and only get a few hours on a couple of days a week to do it.
They are coming along nicely though. Maybe I'll get them back together by Friday.
It will take me at least to the end of next week to wire them up.

ClemsonWill 02-23-2011 11:34 AM

Kissed her as I walked through the garage!

ZPirate 02-23-2011 01:11 PM

I just looked at both Zs tucked away in my detached garage while I was home for lunch.

kenchan 02-23-2011 01:52 PM

wow, lucky guy to have 2 Z's. :D

ZPirate 02-23-2011 03:30 PM

Yes I am! :tiphat:

I don't track the car but change from time to time. I like to keep atleast 2 sets just in case I need to service one of them for flats or bends, etc...

Jjaden 02-23-2011 09:05 PM

Today I decided my Z has had enough of winter this year, so I waxed her up, and parked her garage.

Then I opened the new Nismo car cover that I bought from a forum member and covered her up until spring.

I can't wait till the temp heats up and I can get my TE37's on, and enjoy...

PapoZalsa 02-24-2011 07:45 AM

This morning I drove the Z to take my daughter to school, since she don't like my to ride on my DD, teenagers...

She want to ride in "style" to school. :D

LunaZ 02-26-2011 08:01 PM

Drove it!
Last night's hurricane-force winds blew the cover off completely, so I figured I might as well drive it. The inside smelled brand new from sitting closed up for the last two months.

LunaZ 02-27-2011 09:51 AM

Installed new flux capacitor:

EazyD 02-27-2011 11:33 AM

LunaZ 02-27-2011 04:39 PM

Took a Sunday drive along the river to get a Bunny Burger.

Wiped it down and put the cover back on for a week of forecasted rain.

Dreezy562 02-27-2011 04:53 PM

bleufiend 02-27-2011 05:37 PM

Yep, and they are fantastic cars. I'm really enjoying mine. Ive put about 4k miles on it since late December, and have nothing but good to say about the car.

PapoZalsa 02-27-2011 06:30 PM

Fill the car up, $47.00 @ $3.35 a gl. Took it to Richmond to go G-KArting with the Z Club and got a "Gad Damn" rock chip in the middle of the windshield, damn freaking I-64. :mad:

I swear these cars are F*cking rocks magnets. :mad: :mad:

Cool! I want to replace my pos dd. Was always a fan of the sti hatch but a tad pricy for wat it is...the wrx hatch basically looks the same now and price is right! :tup: will do coilovers and some rotas and im done. :) want to go cheap on dd's but want more power than my Honda fit.

kenchan 02-27-2011 08:33 PM

Luna- yah, I plan on keeping my Z so don't need a sti. I rarely wash my dd's and don't want to worry about it while parked so I don't want anything too special.
