If you have a manual transmission and have yet to replace its oil with Redline MT85, you are missing out. I just did an engine oil change and swapped the trans oil out as well and immediately the shifting is as smooth as silk pajamas on satin bed sheets (you all know that feeling).

I highly recommend it.

I didn't notice too much of a difference in the cold weather, but once the temp went up to 60+ it is definitely smooth as butter.

Typically shifting is rough in cold weather no matter what oil. I also do the diff at the same time as trans.

Had a hole list of things but all this damn rain I can't do $hit. Plus cant figure out why my start button stays lite after shutting off.

Took her partially down Lime Creek to a park. While there, I vacuumed her with a travel size one and Meguiar'd her insides. Did lunch with the hubby then took her to get another wheel balance as I suspected the last one wasn't done correctly. I had really heavy vibration starting at 60mph. Turns out, I was right.
Afterwards we went to John Eagle European where I drooled over a Lotus Evora and contemplated finding a used one soon. While leaving the dealership, I decided her exhaust was sounding just a little too good to go home and park it. Took her down Spicewood Springs for some semi twisty action and then headed home.




TL;DR: Road therapy complete.

Great minds... :tup: She was filthy, and I finally got some time this afternoon to wash her. If I feel up to it after dinner, I may try to work on the interior. Tomorrow I hope I can clay and wax :)

I'm jealous. Well done :driving:

I'm jealous that you have a clean Z!

If the weather is nice next weekend, I think I'll tackle the wash/clay/wax that she needs.

:tup:

Put in some bright white led's in the smoked interior lenses. They stay lit the tiniest bit so it irritates me but hopefully after a few weeks it'll go away. Wishful thinking. Next is the license plate led's,

Edit:just did them. Took about 3 minutes

:tup: Good job.

Setup dashcommand and PLX. I finally got my car back after being in the shop for 2 months from a series of unfortunate events.

I took her for a car wash, vacuum and a little fun. Car felt very strong; maybe because I haven't driven her in a while.

I had p0300 code that I cleared and I know my o2's are turned off, but dashcommand stated that my o2's were "ready". I have an inspection soon, and I'm wondering if I can trust it.

Washed, clayed, waxed, and a new step...Sonax Polymer Net Shield

Zeeeeeed in the rain, looks like Hankooks on order. :driving:

Washed it yesterday since both forecasts I checked said sunny/no clouds all week, so of course it rained today while I was at the office for a bit :thumbsdown: Eff you, Mother Nature!

Damn straight I know that feeling!!

;)

I ordered this on Monday.

370Z & G37 AFP Clutch Pedal Assemblies - *RJM Performance.com

It should be a fun installation...

Awesome!! :tup:

:ugh2:

I am in the process of gathering random objects around the house and garage to pile next to the car so I can lie down during the install. I'm going to use some egg crate foam for the door threshold. Some textbooks in the floorboard to even it with the outside. And lots of duct tape of course to hold it all together :icon17:

Just got back from a Road-Trip. Funeral in Miss.
Drove the Z & my Sis & Brother-in-Law drove their C6 Vette.
Made the 5 hour drive, much more interesting.

I had to deal with two bikes that rode one foot right of their lane center as opposed to riding close to the right side line. Twice I tried to pass but they cut to the center line each time, making it unsafe to pass. Finally I got onto the flat where the speed limit remained 45 MPH and still they would not allow me to get by. When the bike lane opened up they stayed on the road at 25 MPH.

I eventually triumphed but what jerks.

I want a full review at dinner some time in the future please. :tiphat:

It's epidemic here in FL, we have dedicated bike lanes and dedicated bike trails but they all get in a clot on the road 25~50 or so, then they run all the red lights and stopsigns. Did I mention as you said they won't move over and let traffic by? But they demand respect. They block both lanes. Something about a strength in numbers I guess.

:icon14:

I will be there next week, but am tied up Monday night due to big-wigs being on-site as well.

Tuesday or Wednesday???

wow! :tup:

drained oil out of air oil separator, not as much that has been blown by. but none the less its doing some good...

Added some 35% tint... looks way better now!

Next on my list as well..

Took these out yesterday down in Castle Rock!

Let me guess. Because of the white powdery stuff.
