Tomorrow, front fangs...

Whoa! :eek: Don't look, but someone jacked your exhaust! :rofl2:

:icon18:

:tup:

Ken, Happy, thanks for the advice:tup: Maybe Ill play around with trying to remove it this weekend, let you guys know how it goes.

Gnight everybody :yawn:

got hailed on random freak storm... 20% chance of a thunderstorm all day friggin hail

Have heard of a lot of hydraulic systems (usually clutches) being destroyed by this device.

:icon17:

Nice job Dembflyr, that is the only part I would actually use Plasti-dip for.

:confused:

My wheels and front bumper have also been thoroughly dipped in the "plasti"

I posted this picture before but I doubt people realized it was plasti-

EDIT: Here's a better angle

Destroys the seals. A lot of people were flushing their clutch fluid systems on corvette's and F-bodies with them and it wasn't good.

:iagree: ...on both counts!

Good morning all! :hello:

How bad did your car get it?? I feel your pain. I was nailed in a freak hail storm when I first got my 370. Whole car got dimpled from it and a big tree branch broke off the top of a tree and landed on my hatch destroying the spoiler, a tail light, and the hatch itself. It got all fixed up of course and the PDR guy did a great job removing the dimples. This all happened before my FIRST oil change. Terrible.

Thanks. I wasn't sure about this stuff but I figured that it can be temporary so it wouldn't hurt to try. I like it a lot so far.

Noooooooooooo! :eek: Damage?

Good morning guys!

not sure im mpulling it into the sun today later to early atm lol dude that sucks well that "fiurst scratch " hit hard eh?

no idea

LOL, yeah. First scratch was a BIG one:roflpuke2:

Good luck with your ride.

You're thinking of the one I don't like...the pressurized system. Mine is gravitational pull...it makes vacuum at the beginning like a syphon. There is no pressure on the system.

Demflyer- looks good! :tup:

Morning everyone! :tup:

helloooooo

:tiphat: Howdy.

Mooorning!

Not a Z anymore, but just wanted to give a shout out to the Michelin PSS and Koni Yellows. Got them on the 5.0 and they are fabulous :tup:

:tup:

:hello:

You know what you are talking about. The combination of PSS, Koni and Swift (that I happen to have) is likely the best setup for all-around driving. This is my learned opinion only.

onzedge has written

:tup:

It would be a formidable track setup too when you crank the stiffness on up a bit.

I just love how much better the Konis are at damping compared to the OEM Tokicos. I guess you could say it's rather...

Shocking.

I think I might go for swifts+konis over full coilovers becauase I'm not sure I need that much adj.

and everyone seems to rave about the konis :)

If you are happy with the drop the Swifts provide then that is a very solid setup. The Konis have enough adjustability to keep almost everyone happy.

I'll have an FI exhaust next week I think (Tony hasn't updated the list in 2 weeks) so I'm not sure how much I can drop safely. Plus im not looking for the "slammed" look. I just feel like too much wheel well is visible.

Chicagoland has some good roads and then some really terrible roads where the the middle part of the road is much higher than where wheels contact.

Tony changed the design on the FI so it sits up higher now, so you should be good to go on Swifts. Might want to wait 'til you get the exhaust on to be sure, though.

That's exactly what im doing :tup:

Smart guy, you! :icon17:

Thanks! :icon17:

will stock rays looks weird if its dropped without spacers? I feel like they will look even more tucked in than now.

Yes it will accentuate the tuck. Spacers would be a good thing.

Spacers it is!




One mod leads to another :rolleyes:

If you only knew!

I might have some H&R 15mm (front) and 20mm (rear) DSR spacers available shortly. If you've been following my soap opera, I'm going back to stock height after a "big rub".

I'll keep you posted.

Check out my setup with spacers and Swifts.
I'm pretty sure I have the original FI design. I've only had it touch the ground once, and that was at full suspension compression over a hump, driving aggressively on a shi**y PA back road.
You shouldn't have any worries with Swifts if Tony has tucked the exhaust up higher on the revised system.

damn it, i pulled my lower back this am... ouch... getting old. :crying:

i can't even stand up staight at the moment... i look gangsta. :icon17:

:tup: looking good and exhaust seems to have plent of clearance.

Im having a debate between 15mm all around or 15 F and 20 R.

sorry to hear that ken. got to be careful with the back because if your back goes bad, everything is a pain the back (pun intended) to do.
