lemme kick it off. being the gorgeous day that it was today 24 degrees, i just had to take the Z out for a spin. drove an hour away to some decent "mountain" trails and had a few canyon runs with the windows down. gotta say. perfect day.

edit. the internet can be a harsh place so any flamers out there who want a piece of me for starting this "useless" thread. flame suit already on. =]

There's a thread on Mazdas247 called "What have you done to your MS3 today?" and I was about to start one here right before I saw this one!

Today, I sat on the patio and admired my Z while drinking my coffee.
I was thankful all four of my RAYS wheels were still there and pleased that I finally achieved a rattle-free cabin. I tried to picture what the new rotors will look like behind the wheels.
I put a fresh coat of Rain-X on the windows.

During the install, I learned that the locking lugnuts the dealer provided for me were all wrong. It became obvious when the top of one of them split away from the rest of the nut. It basically looked like this:

Who puts conical seat lugnuts on wheels that take a flat seat lugnut?
Apparently, Lancaster Nissan does.

I ordered some new McGard locking lugnuts from Summit Racing: Summit Racing Part Number MCG-21153
These have a shank and washer like the rest of the lugnuts on the wheel, so hopefully these will do the trick.
I'll keep you posted.

Just finished detailing 2400 miles worth of road grime and bugs off my Z. Spent close to 3 hours cleaning her up, and I'm still not satisfied. I washed, clayed, washed, then put on NXT.

I'm ready for a shower now.

Ztoon · 05-29-2010, 12:30 AM

Was invited to show the Z at the grand opening of a new tuner shop.
Washed, waxed, and detailed every inch, then hit the road.
5 minutes out, it began raining, by the time I arrived it was pretty much a mud buggy.

Going for a beer now, or 2, or.............

Mike · 05-29-2010, 12:00 PM

left it sitting in the garage, again

daleks · 05-29-2010, 12:19 PM

Picked up my Swift springs.

LunaZ · 05-30-2010, 09:19 PM

I gave my Z a hand job.

A hand wax and polishing that is, with Liquid Glass.
Got a nice tan while I was at it.

kenchan · 06-04-2010, 04:56 PM

haven't seen my z yet today...

PapoZalsa · 06-04-2010, 08:50 PM

Finally vacuum the Z from the ZdayZ trip.

LunaZ · 06-06-2010, 04:26 PM

A second coat of Liquid Glass and a DIY Nismo Engine Cover.
Props to simota1

Two coats of Liquid Glass:

Let the better half drive it to some book club meeting on the St Croix river about 45 minutes from my house. I was told that it's pouring rain there, and she's afraid to drive it home in the weather.
