What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

MJB · 02-20-2013, 07:48 PM

Received my new urethane tranny mount from Z1 today. I'll install it this weekend if I get around to it.

Started snowing on the way home.. gotta say this is the scariest car I have ever driven in this sort of weather when it comes to tail happy hydroplaning. The rubber on the rear has had a rough life and doesn't do the best job of diverting water away. That said I decided to head up to Sunset Point (Northernish AZ) to drive through the snow - and subsequently one contiguous giant road hugging cloud.

What can I say, I was looking for some love at the truck stop.. kidding!

It's tomorrow somewhere so:

I'll be taking it to Gastonia NC tomorrow [today for future ref.] for fire school (I'm an Sr.IT Admin as the joke). I'll get some pics up or linked tomorrow [today for future ref.]. I might have to get Prem membership as I've used up all my pic space.

Started my GT Mat install, after receiving confirmation I could get a great deal on some more of their high quality butyl product (I only had two sample squares). Rather than use any of the 50mil or 80mil product tonight, I just installed the two butyl squares. I'm scheduled to get the rest of the butyl on Friday. I'll do as much as I can with that and then fill in with the 80mil product before moving to the 50mil.

Nice patch work!

Funny story: When I was running the cables for my rear-view mirror backup camera, I had to take all that out as well. I found an intact Cheeze-It under all the foam padding and plastic pieces. It was either a white cheddar, or had been in there so long it turned white.

Got tuned on 100 octane.. give me a few to post a dyno sheet.

Picked up my first z tonight and drove her from MD dealer to my home in DE. Amazed at how tight the steering is and how the car just wraps around you. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed driving a car. Tucked her away and hopefully the Hayabusa won't get jealous.. find scratches all over the Z when I open the garage door tomorrow morning!

Congrats man and nice Busa!

576whp 484wtq. Thought tony sent me the dyno graph but not yet. Will get it up as soon as I have it.

Edit: 10.20psi peak

TheW3r3W0lf · 02-20-2013, 11:53 PM

Forgot to mention a buddy of mine brought along his Nikon to photograph the snow on the mountains near the rest stop today and also took a couple shots of the Z. Thought I would share since they contrast my iPhone photos i've been sharing significantly! I wish I could work a camera like he does!

He uses big words like "HDR" and makes me wait patiently in the freezing weather for ultimate photo Chi.

It's funny to see people crowd around as if it's a legit photoshoot for a magazine or somethin!
