Glad to hear about the windshield.

I'm still trying to decide cosworth vs k&n

It cost me $500 (comp. deductible, no glass coverage in my state).

I am picky as hell. Super picky. Absurdly.

They let me watch the entire job, and the guy doing the work did a flawless one.

-NOTHING was torn, cracked, broken, scratched, or lost.
-The pinch-weld was primed very well.
-The bead was a "V" bead as is OEM, and was "tied" where it was joined. It was very healthy looking and I find the concept of it leaking improbable.
-There is no squeaking or wind-noise at all.
-Everything went back together with no way of anyone being able to tell it was ever apart.

Aside from the receipt in my glove box, it never happened.

I cannot endorse Safelite, however. I CAN endorse the tech's who did my work (the manager, who has experience doing Ferrari circuit cars did 95% of it). To endorse an entire chain is ridiculous. However, if you are in the Shreveport/Bossier LA area, I CAN! endorse Joe Goodwin and HIS Safelite location as competent, polite, and understanding of OCD.

Oh...I also installed my Cosworth drop-ins. Just blowing through them with my mouth, they flowed a bit freer than my OEM filters. They also have less pleats...hrmmm...

Either way, just cranking, the car has a bit of "hiss" to it now.

Next up...re-tint down to the AS1 on the new windshield.

Congrats, Congrats!! :icon17:

Hey Nick, I have a set of K&N drop-in for sale, since I installed the short-ram, I have no use of it.

It only has about 200 miles on it, since I don't drive in Winter.

Still have boxes and the +20hp-Stickers!!!

:tup:

But he was interested in MY K&N's. They are new in the wrapper. Stickers/boxes included. :roflpuke2:

Honestly, I think whatever is cheaper will do. Sure, you'll have to clean and re-oil the latter at 30K intervals (but it's really nbd), and if you buy the former you can tell everyone at the meets that you have a Cosworth (part in your) 370Z, but really whatever you can find for a lower price should do :)

Yea but if one breathes better than the other I might gain +/- 1/2 hp! LOL

I wish they made a Cosworth that would fit on the Gen 3.

Recently I have been hearing bad things about K&N. In the tests I have seen posted by people of the forum it doesnt filter as well as you would think. Seems like the Cosworths do a better job.

hey so my wife said she wills top by walmart today to pickup 2 jugs of mobil1 silver caps (5qt) and 12oz of valvoline DOT3 during her lunch. :tup:

so i dont have to go. weee~ :icon17:

tonight im going to remove the car cover off the Z, take her off the flat-stoppers and prep for the first drive of the season tomorrow. :excited:

then in the afternoon im going to do my G's brake fluid change and swap to SSR's. :p
will wash her as well since i dont want any reminance of brake fluid remaining on the car.

Alchemy- That's also why I'm debating cosworth drop ins...

Kenchan- Congrats! I'm sure you're excited to get that car back on the road. Surprised you use Mobil 1 though (not trying to start a great oil debate)

thanks. :tup: hey, does cosworth actually make those filters per their specs or is that a rebadge from someone else? :confused: not that im getting a pair.

mobil1 is good stuff for newer engines imho. been using it for like the last 10yrs or more. :tup: ive looked at purple power and redline, but for my driving mobil1 is sufficient. if i do MT fluid change though (on my G), im going to use redline.
