Had to wrap up early yesterday as I was attending to the plumber.
Mr.gale- good to hear you are keeping buzy. Don't work too hard! :tup:

Pulling out my Z in 15. :p

Are those an R compound tyre?

Where is Mr. Shado going? I hope it is not prison or deportation.

Coffee/Cars
 

Not many Zs but other variety of Porsches and a Ferrari, Lotus, etc. Coffee good. Blueberry scone for breakfast. Got to hobnob with the elite--parked next to a 40th Anniversary. Some folks wandering around, asking questions, especially concerning the 7AT and paddle shifters. My comment was that it was rather easy and sporty to drive because the transmission, in manual mode, downshifted rather aggressively on its own during braking. Easy enough to drop one more gear if needed or simply to begin shifting back up through the gears.

:shakes head:

Hope you change your mind in about a day.

Motored my Z and QD'd afterwards. Was a great drive. :p will check out later how the Olympus mic did. :p

I put about 150 miles on mine, still 1000 to go for break-in, but I know what to expect so it's not quite like waiting for Christmas morning or anything. :)

Im about to go outside and replace my blown gasket, again. We will see if this one lasts longer than 2 months.

Al, dont tell me your panties are in a bunch from the little tiff you got into w G2Z in the 5.0 thread:icon14:

Morning all, I will be driving the Z in a few hours. :driving:

Good luck, What a pain in the azz that is.

G2Z is still here? tell him "bye!" :hello: :tup:

Thanks. Any idea of the torque specs on those bolts??

He stops by the mustang thread occasionally.....

The cat to Y-pipe nuts are 39 ft-lbs -- according to the manual.

Here is the section:

:icon18:

Im looking for the specs on the header connecting to the cats.

Header to cat is 33 ft-lbs.

See attached.

Was he actually serious?!? I thought he was, as usual, clowning. :ugh2:

his profile is like a ghost now ( all photos exc taken down and all)

:eek:


Thanks for the help onzedge. You have been repped accordingly :icon17:

Afternoon guys, late check in here. Waiting to see if Mr. ShoFamous is going to head out to a small Austin show with me. We are both going Z-less.


I miss Shado already. :(

My pleasure. :tiphat:

Thanks for the rep. You know how much I love them.

:iagree::(

No plan, just been busy aka lazy! :icon17:

Just got finished washing three weeks of road grime off the Z, and then did the first detail on mrs. gurney CR-V.

From left to right - Guru, hung-over/ten-shot Joe, the elusive ms. pint (yes, she is that tiny), smorice, and Ron (who wasn't feeling too good either). In the background is Enchanted Rock.

Have a great weekend all. :tiphat:

BTW - a big group from Houston headed up to Dallas for the Cup Cake Charity car show this morning. Someone ran Guru off the road and he banged a fender. The other Z's got the fool's plate number and he now has a warrant out for hit and run.

Gasket finished. Exhaust sounds good again, for now. At this rate I have a feeling Ill be doin this again before the summer is over.

Mr.gurney- Thanks for the pict. :tup:

mr.alchemy- good work! Hope it stays that way～～！

Had a new OEM Nissan windshield installed. Insurance did not want to do OEM but they did finely. Short story all windshields are not the same.

Did you get a crack in the OEM one?

A rock hit it had about a 7 inch crack

Was the rock kicked up by a semi truck? :mad:

Man, I hope you're done replacing gaskets. Do you drive it like you stole it! :icon18:

Good lord. *hides*

:wtf: That sucks, but good job caravan members. Hope they catch that guy and throw the book at him.


Pint, did you make it out to the show with Sho?

Yup but by time we got out there there was nothing. :(

Sorry to hear.

I got my yard and house chores finished so I can wash the Z once it cools off. Only problem it my wife is finishing up her CPA exam this afternoon and will most likely want to celebrate with a few drinks. As fun as that can be, it will shoot my productivity in the foot for the rest of the day :ugh2:

No bailing on tomorrow.

No worries. I'll be there :tup: I get to drive after all :icon17:

Took her out to the Oasis in West Austin. God I love my city. Picture by Sho.

That looks ike a peaceful place -- good for contemplation.

ms. pint - Team Houston is hoping to hit Austin in about a month with about ten cars. The Oasis is on the agenda for dinner Saturday night.

Will let you and mr. JAR know when we have some solid dates.
