What did you do with your Z today

happytheman · 06-10-2011, 10:22 PM

Gave her a wash and blow-dry. Also gave her a bit of a wax job to keep those special areas looking smooth and silky!

I attempted to wire my turbo timer and failed again.

Going to clear the dead bugs off the front end then run it up "Fast Eddie's" for a wash. Put it back in the garage and do a little detail work on it. Anyone recommend a good product for polishing the wheels?

"Fast Eddie's" just sounds like it would be a horrific idea.

Be careful with wheel polishes. You should treat your wheels like you would your paint in consideration of the clear coat that's on them.

Finished waxing her sexy bits and gave her wheels a QD.

Tried to installed the EVO-R rear valance but won't fit because of the F.I. Exhaust tip distance to the bumper.

I guess I will need to do some type of shimming or some type of "jerry rig".

Why not adjust the exhaust?

I washed it at 7am and went to a get together at the local Ferrari dealer. I'm going to a Tsunami benefit car show tonight at USF.

That what I said I will have to shim the bolts that attach the bracket to the frame where the rubber bump attaches to the hanger to bring the tips down on both sides and maybe I will need some longer bolts also.

Right now I have about 1/8 to 3/8 between the tips and the bumper. I don't know why that bracket was made so short that the tips almost touch the bumper....

However so other member had posted that they haven't had a problem...

Right now I have about 1/4 to 1/2 between the tips and the bumper. I don't know why that bracket was made so short that the tips almost touch the bumper....

Good luck Papo. In for pics once it's done tho!

To put the rear valance is no rocket science, and plenty of member here has them installed.

The thing is to install something so easy I will have to go thru all this BS with the exhaust just because they could not make the hanger that attaches to the rubber bump at least 3/8" longer.

looked at her

happytheman · 06-11-2011, 02:38 PM

Ugh, I felt like I needed to break out a McEnroe-esque headband today while waxing the Z.

Granted, I was in the shade...but man o man was it hot!

Econ · 06-11-2011, 03:20 PM

jayl · 06-11-2011, 03:21 PM

Took it to the local z meet and then loaded it with stuff from Costco.
