good afternoon all! :tup: gotz a big headache today... not sure why.

got a new brushed nickel door knob installed on my door to the garage (G and Z's bedroom) along with other 1st floor doors last night. :p will be working on the 2nd floor tonight. door stops and other locks should be here by later this week. :p need to get this done so that i can work on swapping out the Fit's wheels to summers on Sat and hopefully a sunny Sunday to motor my Z. :yum:

Thank you Mr.GaleForce. :tup:

I think I just have to get used to it. LOL

More pics next week, I will have to run my errands now.

talk to you guys later. :tiphat:

mr.alcheng :tup: on the wheels! :D yah, snap a few more shots and i can guestimate wat spacers for the rear. the front looks pretty aggressive already so i'd leave it. :)

Looks great! I would have to agree a subtle drop then decide on the spacers. The front looks ok might need a 15mm on the rear. If u want to see what the swift drop looks like u can look at mine or there are a lot of guys with that set up.

Yeah me too. I didn't even buy it from him I bought it off of a forum member and he was as genuine as he could be. He really stands by his product!! Very rare these days!

You sound unhappy Alcheng. Why? Your wheels look great! :tup:

O.K. so I got bored and had some left over Krylon and decided to do some interior mods. I don't know if I will keep it this way. Turned out alright IMO. Not too terrible. Opinions needed. Thanks

^^ It looks very much like the interior of our Juke.

I must say the juke as grown on me :)

I am digging it (when the Mrs. lets me).

I dig that metallic red! I wish they would come out with a Krylon Fusion that color!

Super Busy today. Just wanna drop a line to say "Hi!!" to you guys. :tiphat:

Mr.happytheman, how are you dude? lol

I am happy with the new rims :tup: Most likely will go with a 10mm or 15mm spacer at the rear, don't want to drop it because of a potential harsh ride and more important the rear camber complication. :ugh2:

To be honest, a set of Swift springs will not give you a harsh ride, and there have been a number of reported instances where camber arms were not necessary, and members were able to get their alignment back to stock specs.

I added some stickers to my Z.

Thats it.

Hi guys. :tiphat: Nice weather again here. Got news about the ZL1. Looks more likely that I will be getting a 2013 ZL1 not a 2012. Still not sure when I might get my car. :icon14:

^^ truth!

Let me know if you are considering it. I have the swifts and got a nice alignment without any problems. I'll take you for a drive if you want to get an idea for the ride quality.

Done with my SC ,it's running good no leaks:tup:

Sweet.

Boosted!

good evening everyone! :tup:

Good evening kenchan.

Howdy guys. :hello:

:hello: Mr. Kenchan

Good evening sir :tiphat: did you finish your door stops and handle today?

hi all! :tup:

gale- thanks for asking. im not completely done but i did all the knobs that have come in so far.... all 14 of them. :D tomorrow im expecting the door stops to come in followed by a couple more knobs (levers) that were on backorder by early next week. :) i need to spray paint the frame door 'catch?' side cause my house came with these round ones recessed in the door frame vs the square that came with my schlage knobs. :icon14: but it should turn out nice. :p

looks like t-storms rest of the week so going to rest a little bit to prep myself for the Fit's wheel swap to summers on Sat. it's still riding snow tires in 80F. lol :ugh2:

Z wise... no action, but i think i need to lower psi a little bit now that temps are rising. :tup:

In fact, if IIRC the Swift's spring rates at the top are very nearly OEM, until you really get on 'em in the twisties.

Mr. Happy speaks truth. Swift/Koni, though -- hoo hoo.

Yeah, Swift/Konis is the Cadillac of setups. The Koni Yellows on their softest setting are nearly OEM, aren't they Mr. Onzedge?

I think they are maybe a bit stiffer than OEM. I am running mine in the middle for the rears and a bit tighter in the front. I have about 240 miles with this setting and will go another 200 or so before I decide whether to adjust them (after they settle). They are a bit stiff right now.

It all depends on what's acceptable to you as far as alignment results go.
The -2.8 camber I got with my Swifts is great for track time and autocross, but not so great for straight line driving, so I went with the camber kit. The camber kit and toe bolts cost about what a fancy shift knob does and if it gets me more mileage out of my RE-11's, then it's money well spent.

I agree. I think you have to do at least the rear camber arms when installing the Swifts.

:tiphat:Hi guys.

Well, its 8:20pm and I have not started installing the sways so I think that project will have to wait until another day. I did finish up the exhaust last night though. The car is still up on jack stands so I don't have any impressions to provide as of this point. I am going to go ahead and take it down in a bit and take her out. I will report back later. I took some late night garage pics of the installed exhuast but they did not turn out very good. I will post them up later on after go test her out.

Looking forward to the pics.

Woot Stillen released a brake cooling kit! (Finally)

Kewl did you order one?

No, but I haven't tracked my Z so it's not at the top of my list

Yep.

Product Update: STILLEN 370Z BRAKE COOLING KIT : STILLEN

Understand. One of the things I like about the ZL1 is that it has brake cooling from the factory. I'll let ya know how it works if I ever get my car :shakes head:
