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

Put the top down today and went for a cruise. Came home and had to modify a few things to stop all of the rubbing.

I reinstalled the rest of my interior panels. This is the first time in approximately 1 year that I've had a full interior in the Z.

Detailed the engine bay, polished the charge pipes.

Installed 3/4's of the body kit. One side skirt left to install. I left it off because I still need to reinstall the turbo and it's a little easier to work under the car without the skirt on.

Clear coated my strut bar.

Pictures to follow, check my build thread for picture updates.

Nice drive. I counted at least 33 bends from A to B and another 30 or so on the East side coming back. Not quite like the Dragon's ....... in some other part of the country that I do not remember (TN or GA I think - one of the two) but looks like fun.

Off topic a bit --- Yes that's it. One of the best drives yet also the most dangerous roads in America.

Back on topic --- I detailed her a little bit about 30 minutes ago. Zymol'd her body, cleaned her wheels, and applied a good coat of tire dressing. This weekend, just like Waizzz, I'll be taking her bumper off to wash her filters. While it's off, I'll be installing a pair of DIY skid plates on her front lip.

Cool

Had my new Robispec harness bar, Sparco seats and belts installed. Pics soon later in a moment, sorry.

-EDIT-

Here are the pics.











Sorry for the scaled down phone pics. Tons had been done lately.
