Red z1 silicon hoses (PCV and Brake Booster) to add a personal touch to the engine bay. Also got some Redline Differential oil.

Exhaust update got a few more bolts/knuts off, just one left! I think this knut is stripped though. I'll try a 12 point socket tomorrow. hosed it down with pb blaster and will see what happens.

Once you get that thing off, you should crank it and go for a spin without the CBE and see what you think!

I had to log some more data for Sam @ GTM so he can dial in my car's tune.

I bought a new laptop this weekend so I could data log more easily. Dell XPS 14z.

it's because she wears a lot of different shoes with all sorts of heels and too lazy to change shoes each time she drove.

so after about 2months she gave up.. so i gave her my then 3yr old modded G20 which was AT. and i sold the protege5 for the MINI cause it was too damn slow

she is absolutely no longer interested in driving MT. hahahahaha.

Mr.kenchan, sometimes I am a little

too when I see women driving with their heels on... some of them wears like 3-4 inches heel and shuttle through traffic... LOL

I bought a cheap foamer from Home Depot. It worked really well, but I could use a slightly bigger reservoir. Homelite | G-Clean Detergent Foamer | Home Depot Canada it's worth the $20.

Mr.GaleForce, congrats on the PressureWasher

Mr.ZMan8, Good Luck!!

I have done so far what I want to be done to my Z, ClearBra, CAI, Tires/Rims, Spacers, Spoiler and HU. Maybe some redline products later on and I am thinking about going to upgrade the brakes when the OEM is done...

very nice. That is just for data logging??

Give us your reviews of it. I think the Z series are the thin ones right?

Data logging... and porn.

It's really for everything. For me, I really only need it for data logging and maybe some work if I don't feel like sitting at my desk. I'll also use it for viewing GoPro footage and doing some light editing (like when I'm at ZDayZ this May). My girlfriend uses it for work and school as well.

The 14z is the thin and light one. Not as thin as the XPS 13 ultrabook (which I want) but more powerful and practical. I didn't get the souped up one. The specs are:

Core i5-2450M - 2.5/3.1 Ghz, 3MB cache
8GB DDR3
750GB 7500RPM HDD
Intel HD 3000 onboard gfx

Its pretty quick and does everything I need it to do. Looks real nice too. Compact and fairly light (under 5lbs). Got it for $899.

P.S. -- Good Morning, Misters

P.S.S. -- Fantastic tire!

nice! i'm looking for a new laptop for my gf her biggest thing is it needs to be small and light ("purse ready"

)

Good looking stats there too, almost like a gaming computer. How is the Core i5? Haven't read much about it yet.

P.S. Morning Gentlemen!

So, I have to own up to something.

I lied in an earlier post when I stated that I was done modding. I totally forgot about the purchase I made from Z1 last November during their Black Friday sale. In a box in my garage, that is prominently marked with the Z1 logo, resides the upper and lower radiator hoses as well as two overflow hoses -- in the far-out, groovy red silicone. I will get around to installing these in a couple of weeks (240z work is on my plate this weekend).

I have a question for you, Mr. ZMan8 -- are you performing a radiator flush at the same time as you replace the hoses? I am curious. I am going to replace the coolant when I do mine.

Actually I passed up on the radiator hose for now. That one is the largest hose and also most visible. First I want to see what it will look like after I add the others. Then if I need more red to match the color scheme we have going on I will get the radiator hose as well.

On the topic of flushing the radiator it's not necessary you can just drain the fluid when you do the lower hose and refill after your done. Unless you have a lot of miles then yeah go ahead and get it flushed while your at it.
