Got cleaned up and took the Z to get some good Free Trade coffee from a nice local coffee house for my wife and I. :yum: beautiful day for a spin, but I need to find a coffee shop that is more than a 5 minute drive away. :tup:

Sounds like a good productive day

Man, I feel a bit like a dirtbag because all I did was sit around waiting for my new shoes.

Well on the shoes subject...I only got the rears. :confused: I then took a look at the tracking and it shows that only a label was generated but they had not received the package. Called Ken-san's guy (who's now my guy) Alex and let him know. Alex has already launched an investigation with UPS and stated that they did indeed ship out and usually when this happens they show up over the weekend or by Monday. I guess I just have sit here and stare at the two I did get. :(

For some reason I am having trouble logging throttle position and long term fuel trims. Need to figure out what's up before I can do anything meaningful. Otherwise it's kinda cool.

Just washed the last 1,000 miles of buggy and wet roads off of her.
My neighbours are amused by me laying underneath the car to polish my cans.

happytheman 04-06-2012 06:25 PM

Yeah, I think mine look at me funny too! What do you polish yours with (exhaust cans mind you, we're not talking anything suggestive here folks)?

Mothers Stainless Steel Polish perhaps?

I've been using Eagle One Nevr Dull

m4a1mustang 04-06-2012 07:22 PM

Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish I'm guessing. It's what I use.

So get this... my Galaxy Nexus (only 4 months old) died today. Well, it works, but it won't accept the USB input to charge or connect to PC. So tomorrow it goes to the VZ store where hopefully I can have it replaced.

I had all sorts of other issues with random power offs so I'm thinking this is just sealing the deal that it was in fact a hardware issue and not some software glitch.

TheGreatOne 04-07-2012 11:05 AM

Those tires look great Happytheman!

I finally spent some quality time cleaning the Z, about 3.5 hrs...which my wife totally doesn't understand on such a small car according to her lol

Complete wash, vaccum, interior clean, put engine cover back after a few touch ups, so the interor has been brought back to life. Chccked fluids etc

Picked up a little hydro lift so took a nice look under the car, really cleaned my exhaust which one of the neighbours passing by found odd lol. I should be able to finally install my side skirts with this...

sounds good! :tup: yah, if you really get into it a few hours go by in a flash. :icon17: this is another reason why i dont feel like dirtying my car on a wet day. the hassle of cleaning the car back to where she was takes too much time and effort.

happytheman 04-07-2012 11:43 AM

I read somewhere that claying leaves the paint's surface slightly marred, giving it a somewhat muddled appearance, which requires a proper polishing thereafter. Is this not indeed the case?

Good morning guys, Happy Saturday. :hello:

Which jack point did you use your hydro on? I'm assuming One of these?

Actually I used one where the yellow arms are...so the side blades it seems to leave enough working room...however might need to use that rear jack point for more height lol
