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?

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

"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.

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

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

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.

:iagree:

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. :confused:

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...

:shakes head: :shakes head:

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

looked at her :(

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!:icon14:

got my z1 spacers installed

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

Threw on my Cobb Accessport finally.

QD and got my plates ands floor mats from the dealer. Just so that my Fiance could drive her around all day!

:tup:

Wash, dry, 100MPH as a passanger, car feels much faster that way????

Installed my Berk HFCs today. Goddamn that Demon bolt was bad!!!

For any of you who need help with it, here's a tip. Go to Sears and get a 20" and a 10" 1/2" socket extension. With the 1/2" extensions you won't lose as much torque when you're wrenching on them. Once we had the right tools it was simple.

Car feels a bit more powerful and is much louder when combined with the Berk CBE I have installed.

A rep for you -- gratis -- for a nice write-up. :tup:

:tup:Nice how long was install time? I'm grabbing some GTM resonated test pipe next month. Don't know if im gonna do it myself or have a true mechanic get on it.

Not much action for me this weekend (lots of kids stuff going on) but did squeeze time to dust and QD this am. :p

Shocking! You? A QD? No way. :hello:

I drove it to the beach :tup:

I am FINALLY installing my stainless brakelines and replacing/flushing my brake fluid tomorrow. I am a major league procrastinator. Every weekend I begin with high expectaions of projects to complete. Not all get done due to having to spend time recuperating from the previous 5 days of my clients, colleagues and boss draining me of my will to live and self-esteem.

:iagree:

Thanks, I have some pictures of the install process that might help some others. It was a pain in the *** but surely worth it. Now I'm just wondering how "legal" having HFCs are in Texas... (shrug)

I think the only state in which they are illegal is CA.

Good luck with the install! :tup:

I too got notified on Friday that one of my bigger accounts I made may go down the drain due to major f-kups my team did down in Japan and China. Over 1500 jobs and tens of millions of $ at stake. But I look at my Z and think too bad for them cause it wont really affect me cause I will just start something new and keep motoring like nothing happened. :D

I know what you mean. No time for me to drive the Zs this weekend either.

I know how you feel and I am self employed. :bowrofl:

I have a back up camera I keep meaning to get to.

Yah summer is great for kids but for us parents its like WTF am I suppose to do now? Its like supper time already...was sunny outside all day, perfect for motoring. :crying: :D

Now I need to get ready for dinner...:ugh2:

:wtf2: Just watched my fiancé drive away while me and the kids loaded up in the Travers.

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. :shakes head:

Did a cabin filter install today with the dyi forum instructions.

Love this forum. Everyday i learn something.

After about 9 weeks my Forgestar F14's finally shipped!

I actually got around to my stainless steel brake line installation (thanks to my sons for great help). Sorry for the surface rust on the rotor -- I washed the car first (I think I did these in the wrong order). Oh well.

I also cleaned and lightly reoiled the K&N's from my Stillen intake.

:iagree: nice job! :tup:

I thought about washing my car and scrubbing all of the bugs off.

As soon as I gathered all of my cleaning supplies, it started to rain.

Oh well.

Could of used the rain as a spot free rinse!:tup:
