What did you do with your Z today II

onzedge

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.

careful with the red hoses guys... iv heard they fade fairly quickly and turn orangy / pink. I wanted a pair for myself until I read that

i do wear contacts... what i'll do is try a walk throught the park with only my glasses and see what happens. im very nearsighted... everything past 3" is a blurr...thus i want to get the procedure done before i have oldman's eyes... far sightedness... by then i wont be able to see anything.


my i7 died the other week. was windows. overheating issues... im back on a i5 unit for now for work. will see how this unit goes.

yah, in that case definitely go pc. i like renovo's and might get a small thinkpad later on.

well, parts came before you posted so i think you're safe?

oh, i thought zman was changing out the post-MAF tubes. oh well.

ZMan8

Mr. Kenchan I have the 2 PCV hoses and a brake booster. I may do post MAF down the road but probably not red because there would be too much then. I might follow Onzedge on the radiator one though.

Good Morning Mr.kenchan, for your G, LOL

And I agree with you, driving an AT is like working in a factory.... X 10


Good Morning Mr.onzedge... see you in here and "Word",

Mr.kenchan, how strong is your Rx for eyeglasses?? And what kind/brand of C/L are you using?? (You can PM me about this)


Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Gonna wash my Z tonight after tennis and have a photo shoot tomorrow morning before dim-sum

kenchan

hey mr.alcheng yah that quick trip this am assurred me that i hate regular AT cars. lol so the beater will have to be MT if i decide to get one. lol

i dont have my prescription with me so dont know.. it's pretty strong. but the good is both my eyes are same weakness so the contacts are interchangeable. hahahaha. i dont remember the brand name at the top of my head either...hummm... and i haven't taken claritin yet.

yamucha sounds i shall get me some soon... looking forward to your snaps.

alcheng

Mr.kenchan, looks like a CX-5 is going to be in your garage in the near future, ever consider the Mazda 3…… but the 'happy face'……
The car has happy face but the owner does not while looking at it………

Regarding the contacts, allergy season is a big no to contacts, at least that's what I tell my customers all the time, but I wanna see what is the Rx for your contacts maybe you can use those 1 day disposable lenses at least for this period of time, it helps or you may talk with your optician/optomitrist about it.

Yea……… dim sum tomorrow, and more tennis after that………

ZMan8

it's ok.
