Man that looks like a lot of fun! Nice video! :tup:

dAvenue, what's the dealer got to say about the a/c issue? In for an update! Hope it's a quick, cheap fix.

Today, the Z is just getting a wash. Possibly some clay bar and wax, too, but that depends on how much work the yard needs.

This Z gets plenty of daily loving. We purchased it new in March 2011 and almost to 17K miles after 13 months. :driving:

Now that's how you use a Z! 13 months of :driving: :happydance:

A/C? or rad coolant? I didn't think A/C had colour to it.

:iagree:

i think i want to get one of them abarth's... not sure...it's a car that has been exciting me each time i see it on the street. (btw, not to replace my Z ofcourse! :D )

On Friday I was at a light in my S2000 and a gay guy in an Abarth was hitting on me. :|

thats cause your s2k looks like this... :icon17:

True

Gay, as in carefree? -- joyful? I don't get it.

Yeah, the light-hearted sort! :rofl2:

Oh the larks.

never bothered me when i had my MINI. thought it was a cool little hatch. the abarth sounds good too... much raw-er sound..and even smaller.

i think i will go ahead and paint mine pink. :icon17:

Crap... don't let Mrs. LunaZ see this post or she'll be off her Abarth kick in a heartbeat.
I tried to put her in an STi, but she couldn't get past the lesbian stigma created by Subaru's "We're Just Girls" ad campaign that featured butchy female athletes.

so we are wat we drive? :confused:

Good Afternoon Fellows. Stayed up late last night for the F1 race, was a very exciting one. :tup: :tup:

No Z action since I don't have it, not driving the Maliboo(rental) either since I don't want to get my day ruined.... :icon18:

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!!! :tup: :tup:

Good day Mr.onzedge :tiphat:


Sorry to hear that dAvenue, any update from the dealer?

It's nice to hear the group search for you.. never get lost :tup:

Thanks Alchemy, that is the Chichen Itza, I went there about 2 yrs ago and it was a very very nice place to go, we stayed at Cancun for that trip, 7 days all inclusive.

The Mayan sites are a "must see"!! :tup::tup:

How is the brake???

:yum: :yum:

Mr.happytheman, will you look into the laser-jammer? I know some of them has jamming AND auto-off feature. More money but I think it can do a better job than those passive one, but I know they are illegal in some States.

Thank you Mr.kenchan, :tiphat:

They don't allow tourists to climb up the pyramid anymore so you can only see lots of groups of tourists clapping their hands at the base of the pyramid... you know what I mean... :icon17:

Abarth is a nice car, I like it very much too :tup:

:superghey: :superghey:

:wtf2:

Wiped her down

mr.alcheng- yah, I'm 50/50 right now on the abarth which for me is quite good.

But I still want utility...:shakes head:

i let her sit in the garage after a beautiful cruise yesterday - while i finished my taxes :)

Drove the Z to the Camarillo Outlet Mall today. It's the wife's birthday tomorrow so part of her birthday present is to have a shopping spree while I sit around and people watch. At least it gives me time to read the forums, lol.

:tup: Happy Birthday, Mrs. PedZ.

:tup:

No Z action today. There's a nice drizzle going on outside. So I cleaned up the garage some. Now I'm watching the F1 race while Mini GaleForce is having his afternoon nap.

woot, ordered up the wera 1/4 swivel head driver/ratchet thingie, and adapters. :p

Ok, so I got my brakes bled properly this morning and the car is up and running. Just as a refresher, these are the parts I installed....

Koni Yellows
Stillen Say Bars
StopTech slotted rotors
Project Mu Type NS pads
Z1 SS Brakelines
Motul RBF600 brake fluid

I was unable to swap my diff oil for Eneos 75w90 due to not having an allen wrench large enough for the plug. I will be swapping my engine oil and diff oil to Eneos the weekend prior to ZDAYZ.

As for driving impressions all I can say is WOW!!! Car feels amazing. I re-set my Konis this morning to full soft as per m4a1's suggestion for a starting point. I also set my sways to full soft as a starting point. The car is very stiff even at fully soft settings. Braking in the new pads and rotors was quite fun as well, I have never done a serious brake break-in:tup: Im beyond pleased.

Woooooot! :D

long story short car runs great, love my new mods. typed a review twice and for some reason it didnt post both times. im over it and highly aggravated right now. here is a droid pic of the front assembly

Schwing!

took her out for a quick drive. got 3 compliments. one guy thought it was a gt-r from the front :driving:

Diggin the last three items on your laundry list. Gonna be there in a few. Keep us updated on the stoppies. Soooo the car is very stiff, let us know how the ride is after about 1k miles, ya know the placebo effects wears off and suspension settles. Very interested on those koni's...and if I recall you have them paired with swifts...right? Like I stated earlier, X-mas came late or your phat tax return came back...haha. :tup:

Lighting fires and smoking tires, or in your case, brakes. :tiphat:

Can't remember what my Stillen's are set but def not soft, you will be moving up a notch soon. Just curious what tires are you running and how does the entire package setup feel in the twisties and hitting pot holes in the middle of corners?

Greetings Z Community, happy Sunday afternoon/evening to all. Is everybody looking forward to going back to work tomorrow? I am not, would rather be driving and I do not mean to work...haha

Well just putting around in a rental Versa while my NEW speedo cluster is being calibrated/programmed by a vendor in N.Y, it's under warranty with NNA. Oh...if anyone is interested NNA uses this vendor for ALL of their speedo calibrations. Must be a sweet contract for the vendor. It was ordered last Thurs and will not be avail until Weds.

Hopefully my Z's hood, roof and hatch are still in good shape after the 10 minute hail with bb size hail we got on Friday while it is sitting outside on the back lot of dealer. I am afraid to look, then again a new paint job from the insurance company would be noice - Zele Orange.

Washed her and kissed her goodbye before getting on a train for NYC for the week.

I have a Miata, so it's pretty obvious that I don't subscribe to this mentality.
I can't speak for others.

alchemy- nice!! :tup: sounds like a job well done, congrats! :D

Well last night I took my lady out for dinner in my car. It was snowing/flurrying when I went out. The roads were clear and the snow wasn't sticking. When we left to go home it was dark and the roads were now very icy/snow covered. I have the 19inch sport tires on it and it made for an interesting ride home. At one point I got the bright idea to gas it to break the tires loose. Car went sideways ! :eek: I was able to correct it and we made it home safely

Its def more than placebo. Car is so much more tightened up after the Koni's and the sways. I just took a spin through a great section of road that runs along the Delaware near my house. Scraped everywhere, even going down my driveway where I have never scraped before. Not sure if its due to it being stiffer or if the Konis dropped it slightly or a combination of both. Yes I am paired on Swifts and so far the combo feels very capable. I guess it was kind of a late xmas. They are parts I have been accumulating thru the winter. I will prob end up going to the stiff rear sway setting and stay soft or move to the middle in front. So far the Koni's on soft feel great. Any stiffer and I think I would encounter a lot of probs on the roads in my area. I will most likely bump them up very slightly, if at all, for DD. You def wont be disappointed with the Koni's. Well worth the money I paid. I was going thru familiar turns much faster than usual today and very comfortably at that. The capabilities of my Z in the twisties just increased considerably:tup:

Oh, and a BIG :tiphat: to all the congrats from everyone!!!
