What did you do with your Z today

kenchan

nice Z.

gurney- wat are dive planes? are you talking about the canards?




hahaha. dang how come no girls call me at 3am asking for me to come over. or maybe i am and wife is just erasing them.

Thank you for the compliments guys, I really appreciate them. People ask me about the canards all the time and they are full CF. I can notice the difference at freeway speeds, the front end feels more planted with them.

Props to Christian for the photo, it's one of my favorites of my car.

Sorry Ken, noobie mistake! I humbly stand corrected.

hahaha, no no, i really wasnt sure what you were talking about.



mr.onzedge- TGIF! glad to hear you're liking the swifts. did you get rear camber arms or no? I forget.


i psi'ed my Z's tires last night in prep for some motoring tomorrow. no concrete sus mods planned for my Z yet.

that new illuminating sw i wired up to my garage is working out nicely. i likes it a lot now that i have confirmation whether i turned off the light or not in the utility room.

not related to car, but gotz my decidated keyboard stand for my digital piano last night.

Hello, Mr Kenchan The Swifts are the best mod I have done -- well maybe not as good as the Berk CBE, but darn close. The car drives more straight down the road, cornering is highly improved and I am not scraping like I thought I would. I also installed the SPC camber arms in the rear -- I did not need the fronts because I am not intending on cambering the fronts too much.



Mr. ZForce and his brother (they each have a 370) are coming over tomorrow with their Z's to do some comparison driving and photo shooting. They both have the Stillen sways and I have Hotchkis -- we want to compare and contrast the two setups. All three of the Z's have Swifts. If all goes well, we may take the Echo out.

ahhh, thank you for the pict. looks good. i like how it's painted/powder coated black too. im glad to hear you're liking the Swifts a lot. been reading nothing but good reviews on them.

huh, should be fun comparing the two swaybar setups. please keep us posted on the reviews. it's great that you have the swaybars as ive found typically lowering springs have initial softer bump making turn-ins less responsive, but with swaybars that looseness is eliminated.

ive been thinking about getting coilovers, but nothing concrete. i really want to just swap out the dampers.

i think what's going to happen is i will decide to do a refresh or not at 4th yr of ownership. considering i will only have one day to drive the car out of the entire week starting April 2013, i may end up not doing any further mods and just drive it as she is today for the rest of ownership (9-10yrs total)... while spending $ modding a new 4seater coupe/hatch i will get that year to replace my aging G.

Sounds very good! I never got around to installing my Stillen Sways. Gonna wait till spring when I put it back on the road. Let me know what you think of the Swift plus Stillen sway set up

Just got back from Baker Tuning here in Houston to discuss my Nismo bumper conversion, spacer install, door handle paint, and fog light install. Got the full tour from Brad Baker and Paul Morgan.

Absolutely great guys and an awesome facility. Met master tech Jason, and was highly impressed. Looks like the next project after this one will be springs, just need to get comfortable with the new bumper and my driveway.

Saw Dreamer's car - ouch! But it's in capable hands. Cool ride BTW.

The mods are a go - parts being ordered today. If all goes well, it could conceivably be finished by the end of next week. Pics will follow.

kenchan

sounds like fun gurney.

wat happened to dreamer's car again?

DLSTR

Baker rocks and took great care of my machine before I shipped it here to Germany! Good people! Paul and Jason are top notch!

LunaZ

My front camber is acceptable, but my rears are a little too much on the negative side for driving in straight lines, so I think these are in my future.
Easy install?

Install was a piece of cake -- 2 bolts on each arm. Unbolt the old and bolt in the new then adjust.
