These are our little "tornadoes", lol. The only destruction is to your paint and interior (if you get caught with your windows down).

Man, I almost hit three of those things yesterday here in Las Cruces. Crazy huge too.

Wasn't driving the Z though. Rental car FTW. So yeah, that's what I did with my Z today. I let it sit in the drive back home.

Dropped one part of my Evo-R lip back off at the wrap place. They are going to try a new material in hopes of it sticking better. If that doesn't work, I'll be spray painting the darn thing satin black.

They're going to paint the bumper black, right?

But seriously, awesome. I'm sure you're happy it's finally getting done

Haboob · 04-05-2013, 09:28 AM

They're almost here!

axmea? · 04-05-2013, 02:04 AM

Can't wait to see finished product.

Just bought two more rear tires. 285/35/19 RE-11's.

The rears right now have 22k on them which is pretty good for RE-11's but threads are showing.

Now I'm debating whether or buy a Yamaha R1, the new GTM TT kit, or misc stuff for the Z like stillen facia/slotted rotors/TE37SL's/coli overs

This morning I picked up a Mobil 1 oil filter for the oil change this weekend.

Yesterday, I made a step for the Z so my floor jack will reach the front center jack point

^^ I always go in from the front. Is it safe to jack in the center from the side?

lol actually, I didn't even think about that. I always jack it up from the front, too. I just took the photo there to show the jack clearing the side skirts and the tire on the step. At one point very near the jack point, the plastic undershroud hangs down further than the side skirts, but by the the time I get the puck to the jack point, the jack still clears it from the front. I don't think I could jack it up from the side because the jack would be right in the way of where I need to put a jack stand.

Got my baby back after not driving her the last 3 months of deployment!!!!

Lucky for me, my wife bought me these:

The transport company dropped off the Z today. Long journey from Ft. Hood Tx to Tacoma Wa.

The1michael · 04-06-2013, 09:29 AM

Pulled up at my car wash place in central Florida...
See this

No one cares about a Z at that point hahaha
