Stuck on the Amtrak train tonight in the Roseville rail yard at about 5:45pm while we waited for the Chicago Super Liner to pass thru.

Mr. onzedge was that your train?

Morning Z crowd :hello:

Going to detail the car this morning, starting inside first, then wash, clay, wax. :woot:

How many of you guys take off the wheels to clean inside the rims? I think just really want to use my new floor jack and torque wrench that I've had for over a week without using yet :rofl2:

I do this. I also use a product called Wheel Armour on the barrels of the wheels and my calipers. Brake dust washes right off :tup:

Have fun detailing :excited:

She's the breadwinner, so if she wants a car that I love driving, who am I to say no? :icon17:

Just make sure you get the calipers and wheels looking like new or better before you use Wheel Armour. Like everything, preparation is the key. :tup:

Morning Z fams :hello:

Windy in the valley, 20mph gusts, sunny. Heading over to Wal-lee's to pick up Z cleaning materials for a wash down. Will be cleaning the koi pond and work on the house. Dinner (Sushi) tonight with some old friends I have not seen in 12yrs.

Time flies by, grab every opportunity and hang on.

Good morning Mr. onzedge :hello:

Made it back home from Reno, couple chapters written for the your book, train food, chooo chooo sound still in da ears.

Did you see my earlier post from last night, was it you holding up my train? :p

m4a1mustang 05-05-2012 09:55 AM
Good morning guys. Long day ahead of me. Just finished pressing out old bushings for my lower control arms and pressing new ones in. Got to reinstall, install new bump stops, change diff fluid, change oil, check torque specs on suspension bits then clean the car up. Then the car should be ready to go for ZDayZ. :tup:

I haven't repped anyone in a couple days. I promise I'll catch up with rep tonight!

kenchan 05-05-2012 11:21 AM
good morning everyone! :hello: drizzly here perfect weather(?) for doing my G's maintenance work this am. finished and washed her up. :p

while under the car, i cleaned up a lot of bolt heads and frame bits that still had salt on them :ugh2: i used paper towels that had some old motor oil on it and rubbed the salt off. looks clean again and hope the oil keeps it protected for a while. :D

I use Thomas Guide, no ads and does not talk back. :p

Tell me, the neighbors (renters) always park their cars, trucks in front of my house. I get no respect.

Reps coming your way for the DIY. :tiphat:
good morning, mr.zforce, thanks for the rep :tup: and insight on thomas guide. i will check it out later. :D

dang, i hate it when people park their cars in front of the house. :mad:
especially when they got these ugly clunker type cars stinking up the place. :shakes head:

Um, how do I put how happy this exhaust makes me into words? .......hmm......does "I just came" work? :tup:
I'm so glad I decided to make this the first mod. I was in front of the auto shop when I heard it turn on and could not stop smiling. Took a very spirited drive home to enjoy it.



I need a better way to capture it, but here's a really crappy video taken by the spouse:

There's only one issue.......and maybe you guys can give me your opinion.
Since I bought used, the heat wrap was not included of course. The shop used this instead: Amazon.com: Silver Heat Protector Insulating Fire Sleeve Spark Plug Wire Boot 8 Cyl: Automotive to protect two lines. each one was about 6 inches in length. Do you guys think this is adequate enough?

Congrats glad you enjoy it. What ever lines they are trying to keep heat away from should be fine with that fire sleeve. And yes I think "I just came" is a universal sign of being very happy.

This is shaping up to be an all about Z day:
-Debating on whether or not to go buy screws/washers for seat mod. Don't want to deal with Saturday shopping crowds though.
-Need to figure out what to do with the stock cat back.
-Need to find a way to drain some oil without having a set up at home. Grr.
-Taking her to get washed and interior cleaned after the sun goes down.

I asked them if they could and I'd pay whatever charge but he said they would prefer not to. I would have to get a complete oil change for them to touch it. I'm just going to let it ride, I know I'm not over more than 1/3 of a quart.

kenchan 05-05-2012 01:39 PM
hey there, mr.alcheng! :tup: yah, it's going to rain probably here on monday as well, but washed my G anyways. hope to pull her out for a short errand this pm. sucks if i wash and got rain on without driving clean. :icon17:
