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

3.7 ZPA

Was going to get some work done today, but my buddy called me, and that was all over. I took a little drive upstate to do some spirited driving:

My buddy's '03 350, my 370, my other buddy's FRS, and my brother's base model Mini behind him. All fun cars in their own right.

I cheated on my Z, right in front of her. She had to sit and watch me take a topless F430 around an autoX type course. Tom (adidas5482 on the forum here) drove the Gallardo.

I'm putting some of the videos up on FB right now.

The Lambo def. looked better, because it was a bright orange.



I had a blast though. They told us that they were going to be in SD in a week or two and would have a McLaren MP4 out there to drive. I almost want to take a weekend trip to SD to drive the McLaren.

Bath time. Got rid of 800 miles worth of bugs, coal dust and other grime.

I had another busy weekend of car stuff!

-Removed my subwoofer amp and installed a spring in it to put pressure on one of the resistors. Otherwise, every time I went over a bump my sub would cut out

-Sanded, recleared, wetsanded, and polished my NISMO carbon fiber B-pillars which were looking really oxidized after nearly 5 years



-Vinyl wrapped half of my center console and will do the upper portion in a few weeks (no photos yet)

Installed my Berk HFC and CBE setup yesterday. Couldn't be happier with the sound and performance gains. I have to make a few small adjustments and check for leaks next weekend when I can get it on the lift. There is a slight rattle when I hit some larger bumps but no major problems to speak of.

Sometime in the near future I will get an UPREV tune and see how much power she is making.

I need to retighten everything as well, I think the cross-brace is loose, but I don't hear it a whole lot.

Still need to adjust the drivers-side tip.

Dystopia

My drivers side tip sticks out a bit more than the passenger side as well. If I fix it soon I will let you know what I did.

Do you mean the cat cross brace?

Haboob

Yes.

It may just be the raspiness that happens at start up, as I don't nearly notice it once it's all warmed up.

I need to double check all of the fasteners anyways.

I took the 370 out for an all day cruise yesterday.



Spouse took the 350 out for a spirited drive today.

Well I just ordered a new set of tires from Tire Rack. Sadly they didnt have the rears in stock in the Michelin PSS. And I can't wait the 6-8 weeks for them to come in.

1. My current rears are bald.
2. I need new tires before ZdayZ and that would be pushing it even if I could wait.

So I opted to pass on the Hankooks. I have had the Continental DW which is on the car now and overall a good tire but I wore them off quick with a suspension problem I am working out now before the new set goes on. After researching I settled on the BFG Sport Comp 2's. Hopefully these will prove to be a good tire alternative with the redesign. I won't notice too much of difference over the OEM Bridgestones and will actually be an improvement in most areas. Definately no where near as good as the PSS though, but also doesn't have the hefty price tag. I plan on doing a full reveiw by the end of May after having some time with them and seeing how they perform on the Dragon.
