Doesn't really bother me. I like the way they look and I'm not all that interested in tracking the car or winning any races.

Here's a quick pic from my iPhone, more to come..

Meh, if he's not tracking his car I don't suppose it'll matter much.

sigh. i just emptied the drip tray and i only filled up the 5 quart jug with about ~4.25 quarts of oil. oil burning, or dealer error? (my first oil change was free at the dealership)

edit: FYI, its been 3751 miles since my last oil change and im now at 7,000 miles!

Do not worry yet. You have a 3 year warranty. I used a quart every 500 miles so I did the oil consumption test, failed and got a new engine. Now with 3500 miles on this engine I've used two quarts at a slowing rate. If you are still burning oil at 10,000 miles you ought to check it out with the dealer. I think you will be fine, although I may still be in the woods.

No Z action today but I did dust her off alittle inside the garage.

98intrigue · 06-09-2011, 10:18 PM

Attempted to install my turbo timer.

^ looks great. If the headlights were done. BAM! It would be bad a$$.

I just drove my car today.

I totally agree. I'd like to find someone local in Houston who can help me. I've done them before but they are a pain in the *** and I'm rather clumsy.

Juruki · 06-10-2011, 06:55 PM

nynhex that looks very nice! matches your blue Z pretty well

happytheman · 06-10-2011, 10:02 PM

Nynnhex, I think the wheels look sweet! They've got a subtlety that I wouldnt've guessed. Now you've really got to do something about those calipers. I think a bit of powder coating is in order, don't you?

I'm with you on that one. The calipers will come off soon. We have a powdercoating oven at work so I'll probably do them in a black or anthracite color.

One day at a time.. I'm going to be eating peanutbutter and jelly sammiches for a few weeks while recovering from the wheel expense. But I couldn't pass up the deal.

Driving on 20's is way different. But they rock.
