I went with z1 tubes and dry filters. couldn't be happier!

K&N are great filters. I have been using them on all of my cars since I can't remember when.

People who complain about them are those who do not know how to clean and then properly oil them as to not contaminate the MAFs. Also, regular MAF cleaning is a gogd thing to do as well -- using CRC MAF cleaner.

Had 2 days to myself for the first time in months, dropping in a Kenwood DnX9900HD HU, Focal components and midrange speakers for the rear. Already did a stitch change to red and installing a set of Nismo seats. Finally the interior will be the way I like it. Next is either suspension and brakes or the Nismo front fascia and skirts. So far enjoying working on this thing.

:tup:

if R2C made drop-ins i would go that route, but for now K&N for me. im running the hps tubes. i had to trim it just a tad to make it fit perfect.

:iagree: ive had no issues with K&N filters.

:tup:

Here's a shot (through my transparent hood) :icon17:

For the money (savings over long tube intakes) I think I'll try out the MAF + K&N's. Any reason NOT to order the Z1's over the HPS?

:rofl2: @ transparent hood. :tup:

not that i know of. they're just silicone tubes.

I am still making 60-20 MPH braking and let all cars clear from around me. I saw a van on the other side of the road so I braked beyond him so as not to startle him or be rude in any manner. Amusingly he was setting up the mobile speed awareness "You are traveling X MPH. I saw my speed backwards. :icon17:

:confused: mr.tam you drinking today? ha? :confused:

No. It's the push to change standards from Imperial to Metric Roman Numerals :tup:

:icon17:

:icon17:

:confused: ok, im really confused now... :icon17:

Finally got my white line diff bushings installed my fluid filled one exploded lol and we had to force it out

woah, sounds like a stinky mess. :eekdance:

:icon23:

Just gave mine a nice bath only to get more plant jizz all over it.

Yesterday, wash. Today, clay bar. Tomorrow, buff and wax. Stupid Missouri weather wouldn't let me do it all in one day. Rain, ugh.

Found some of the damage done by a stray piece of tire on the highway. It's a good thing I'm getting different side skirts. :shakes head:

:icon14:

I was driving to another city (250 miles away) this weekend to have my UpRev done. I purposely took back roads to open her up a bit. I hit a bird and its insides sprayed down the side of my driver side window. Nasty, but no damage done. There wasn't even a thud, the car just eviscerated him.

:(

yes it smelled like butt :icon23:

Ordered the Z1 tubes and K&N drop-ins :tup:

tmi... i didnt want to know your butt smells like diff oil.....:shakes head: :icon17:

:tup:

:tup:

Good job.

1wk later... can't install these tubes? :confused:


:icon17: :p ;)

:icon17:

lol is it really that difficult to shoehorn those tubes in there?

Just ordered the following for my Z:

Z1 CSC Elimination Kit
OEM CMC
Z1 SS Brake Lines
2L Motul RBF600

Time to go buy a transmission jack :tup:

No.

Mild heating with a blow dryer can help quite a bit. Or -- just sit them in the sun for a bit.

:tup:

Those SS brake lines are instantly noticeable. :tup:

:iagree:

She's settled. Wheels next week :)
