I think 15/20 is a good setup. That's what I used to run.

Didnt know you bought Koni's Steve!! Nice :tup:

I've actually had them since last summer, I just finally got around to getting them on. :bowrofl:

thanks. yah, that's wat i get for doing house chorse early am i guess.... :ugh2: at least i could drive my G without any pain. :tup:

which means, my Z motoring is still 'on' for the weekend. :p

Now the other big debate which brand....H&R seem to be popular, eibach seems to be similar to H&R. Kics have that weird hubcentric lip insert.

oh decisions decisions :ugh2:

looks good if no rear splash guards or lowered.

20 on the rear makes the splash guards look out of place.

My magnetic oil drain plug is coming in the mail today, which means oil change tomorrow and driving around this weekend too!!

H&R is who I'd go with.

I think I'm one of the only 40th anniv. that did not get splash guards, so I guess im ok then!

:tup:

Holy sh1t, bout time they got installed then!! Whats next? Anything else before ZDAYZ or are you done for awhile??

I never really thought of it that way. I think they look fine.

But I think without them would look even better since you get more of that meaty tire look.

No other real plans at the moment. I need to get more seat time with the new suspension to figure out what else I might want. But most of my focus right now is on making sure the S2000 is ready to go. It needs tires and brakes.

nice! :tup: which color did you get? i like the candy on the oil pan. :yum:

i'd go with Eibach, H&R, or Kics. :tup:

cool! works out perfectly then. :tup:

i was referring to the most center (inner) part of the splash guards under the car.

if you look from a low angle the splash guards have this small lip on the inner side and it is like 1" off from the inner sidewall. :ugh2: or maybe im just too picky. :icon17:

the Red Kics oil drain plug :yum: :tup:

Good day everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic March 14th :tup: . If you don't know the significance of March 14th, I suggest you Google it!

nice~! i'd be under the car :yum: :yum: :yum:


happy bday gale! :tup: or :confused: :rofl2:

looking good! :tup:

looks good, dufdaddy! :tup: i should get my G's windows tinted...

I see it now. :icon14:

:icon18: yah, i think being a ocd detailer i look at cars a little differently. :tup:

Tires are coming today via UPS. Gonna pull the cover off her in the garage and put the battery back in. HIBERNATION IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!

:excited:

Did you go with the PSS?

Not my bday, but just as good! :tup: mmm, steak! :rofl2:

Yesterday... oh yea, it was Wednesday my day-off, it was sunny and I washed my car. :tup:

Good Afternoon Z fellows!!!

Just ordered the spoiler!!! :tup:

How'd you do it? Can I assume perhaps that you have applied heat to it? Feel better buddy. :)

:tup:

mr.alcheng- cool! so you did wash your car yesterday. :D
is that the oem coupe spoiler? :)

yah, i was doing this excercise last night where i'd roll on my back and lift up my legs. i was doing one leg at a time as i should, but started to get lazy and started lifting both legs together. and i felt a little bit of pain in my lower back but didn't think much of it.

then this am when i went to take out the trash... :ugh2:

Red Line synthetic in the trans,engine,diff. Transmission shifts a lot smoother. Engine sounds smoother in the upper rpms. Real difference in the transmission, probably placebo regarding the engine.

Im changing my oil with redline this weekend and will do trans/diff with redline next month :tup:

From a long-time back sufferer.

Lie on your back, draw your knees up, but keep your feet flat on the floor. Now rock your knees (together) from one side of the floor to the other for at least ten cycles.

If you can bear to do this every couple of hours, it will help loosen you up.

Most back pain like you describe is actually caused by the lower back muscles tensioning-up in reaction to one's hips becoming misaligned.

A physical therapist taught me this after being out for 10 days with a bad back. I try to do this exercise at least four times a week, and I haven't had serious back pain in over ten years.

Best wishes for some relief.

Nice! Dealership slaughtered me on price, but without a lift/way to evenly lift the car/living in an apartment, I was pretty much at their mercy. Still, it's about the only time I plan on having the diff/trans fluid changed considering I don't beat on the car hard enough to warrant a "severe service" schedule. I consider that it was worth it, given the change in shifting feel and the anecdotal claim that the diff fluid drops diff temps by about 20*F.

Yeah I am going to try to do all these things in my garage on my back. Will lift the car onto jackstands.

thank you, mr.gurney! :tup: i will try this as soon as i get home. :) ive been marching around the office for 5min every hr. :icon17: and swinging my legs one at a time while standing to keep my muscles as loose as possible.

all i need now is a sand bag to kick the shitto out of. :D

My Chiropractor told me no heat. Ice only! (for my injury). I also have a Tens machine and use it regularly. The nice thing is I can use the Tens Machine for other muscle groups so I get more use out of it other than using it just for my back. Some are reasonably priced, you might want to look into it if you have a recurring injury.

thanks, mr.gale! :tup: yah, im definitely going to ice my upper butt/lower back when i get home.

i rarely get lower back injury...only when im tense from doing something the previous day... like working on the car in odd positions or something and then next morning i do regular things like pull up my pant and... :ugh2:

so i think i better do the mr.gurney excercise every morning after stretching to loosen up my muscles before heading down to do house chores..

Even though this is a what did you do with your Z today thread.... I'll chime in on back problems.

For me ... and it's different for everyone I think. The Chiropractor helped as the back swelling reduces. ICE does help the back swelling. Then Chiropractor or stretching exercises done easily will realign your back. Heat helps when you stretch out / realign.

I have been in four accidents over 35 years that messed up my back pretty bad. It wasn't until the third accident that I was in did I realize the system. I ICE ... then after a couple of days heat and stretch. Now, all I do is stretch everyday for about 5 mins. Stess does cause tightening.... If it is stress related back pain heat does a better job in loosing things up; then stretch. If i over work in the yard or pull something I ICE then heat/stretch after 12-24 hours. Repeat. Aspirin can help with inflamation. I generally take 2 aspirin while I'm ICING.

What did I do with my Z today? Checked to make sure she was warm and comfortable in the garage during this rainy spell we're having in Cali. Then I rubbed her down with some Zaino and played some music for her. Lol

hey thanks for that, mecinoid. i will definitely get ice when im home. luckily i dont have to pickup the kids today so i can go straight home. :D can't wait to lay on the floor... sitting has been a royal pita. :icon17:
