Right now there is a huge amount of deer "migrating" (or something), anyway if i go out for a drive on some backroads there is a 100% chance (no literally) of like 5 deer jumping out during the drive. I need to drive at like 35 mph, and at some points i come to a complete stop with a deer standing in the road, beeping does nothing it just stands there. So i need to drive around it. Welcome to PA.

In the *San Francisco* city (or ethical dessert if you prefer) it is bums and sanctimonious liberals (who are trying to enforce the pedestrian ALWAYS has right of way laws) not bucks that jump out in front of my car, which is probably better. I'd feel pretty bad if I hit a buck.

I swerve to avoid, but sometimes wonder why. They only scowl at you as they meander like so many lost deer back to their sidewalks and marked crosswalks.

At least the deer don't try to make you feel bad after your heroic effort not to splatter them all over the road.

Yep, this desert rat got modified today, AEM CAI and ART Pipes. Will post videos in exhaust sections.:driving:

Test fitted rear spats. Have to pick up some strong double sided tape or adhesive to hold them on. :) Attachment 57038Attachment 57039Attachment 57040Attachment 57041

^ looks good. Get the 3m exterior tape rated 20 lbs / sq inch. At home depot. Might be overkill for the spats. Not too sure about the automotive 3m tape and how it holds up. For the spats it might be adequate enough.

Looking good tibal!

worked saturday :shakes head: but the ride home was fun:happydance:

Did a run down Lime Creek with JARblue, Mothafuzzy, Kitto34, Rwilliams and an s2k buddy of mine. Good day.

^ Nice little gathering Tracie, looked like a perfect day for a scoot.

:tup:

Great shots, nice rides! :tup: I wish it was that nice out here lol.

:iagree:

drove her out for a lil cruise to buddys home, beautiful day outside.:tup::driving:

Went down to below 1/4 tank...with nowhere to fill up on gas nearby for until next week.

Filled up my tires with air back up to 35 psi for the first time since taking delivery back in March...tire pressure was at 28 psi cold. No wonder my MPG is crap. :icon14:

Cold out today, the Z was loving it....it just wanted to go! Traction was another story lol.

Noticed passenger side headlight is out...rats. I've taken headlights off the car before (to paint) but to just change the bulb I guess you gotta turn the wheel and go through the wheel well...I see frustrations ahead just to change a bulb lol.

I brought my 240Z home today -- all healthy...

Purchased Michelin Pilot Super Sports!! set me back 1350 installed. Hope they're worth it. Did i get the right size? 245/40/19, 275/35/19. Will it look kind of flush?

replacing headlight bulbs is really easy, actually easier then removing the whole headlight LOL. I just did it the other day for the passenger light.

you have to

1) Remove wheel or turn wheel to opposite direction (right wheel all the way to left side, left wheel all the way to right side)
2) Remove 5-6 popscrews
3) Peel back fender cover
4) Twist off gray bulb cover
5) Twist remove bulb case
6) Pop of springs on each side
7) Remove bulb
8) Put in bulb (careful not to touch the bulb/get oils on it)
9) Repeat steps backwards to put everything together

Sounds like a lot, but really took me less than 5 minutes from step 2.

Good luck :tup:

You made the right choice.

That's the same size as OEM, but in order to get "flush", you're going to need some spacers to bring the OEM stance out a wee bit. I'm running 15mm up front and 20mm in back and I think it's perfect. This is, however, just my humble opinion. :)

sweet, will i be ok going from base wheels to 19 inch sports as far as spacers and TPMS?

:iagree:

I have 15 mm all around and could have easily done 20 mm in the rear.

I washed my car and had little bits of rubber all over the doors down. It had something to do with track driving in the rain. Really hard to clean off. My wheels came back to life too. They were so black with brake dust it looked like they were another stock color. I washed twice and did not dry, as I think it is still dirty.

:icon14: :eek:

Another shot of my refreshed 240Z:

^^looking fresh :tup:

Living my dream Onzedge, a 240 and a 370.

Ever thought of going mirrors on the fender?

Washed and waxed the Z today. Was fun trying out the new "foam gun" on the pressure washer. I had forgotten how much I hate washing and drying cars. Going to have to get a leaf blower to get all the water out of all the hiding places this car has! I thought I was done and look there is more water pouring out of the lights and crevices. Couple of pics.

I dropped my Z at the airport again for a week of kiting and surfing on the north shore. The waves out here this week are scary big and the wind is coming back for kiting, but I do miss my wife and kids and I must admit I keep thinking about not driving my Z. (My rental Mazda mini van thing, although good for bros and boards, just isn't capturing my enthusiasm... lol)

It's nice to know my two boys (3 and 12) and three girls (Wife, Daughter, and the Z) are waiting for me back home!!!

In other words, life is good this week (except perhaps for the minivan...)

This picture makes me miss my old 77 280z. (It died of rust in hawaii while I was off island living on a carrier. Total bummer because I had just spent 2 years in the auto hobby shop on several USMC bases bringing it to life :( I have to say, I really do feel badly to have allowed a cool ride like the 270 to die, but once the rust really took hold in that unibody frame it was all over.

Ah we'll, keep her out of the salty ocean air and enjoy. That car is pure art.

:tiphat:

got my Wicked Cas box and JL sub, got it used from a forum member for a steal! Cut the carpet to fit! Only problem is I have not HU or amp haha, couldn't pass up the deal!

Ran over the small curbish bump at a McD's drive through. :woot:

Drove it (hard as usual :D, I mean how could you not!? :driving:) to the dentist... got my deep cleaning done :eek:. Then to work :tiphat:

Yesterday was perfect for driving. On the way home I actually thought I'd enjoy the ride and savor it a bit more by slowing down. I already know I can go faster but looking up to enjoy the view has something to be said for it too.

I looked up in my rearview mirror and to my horror thought I had the Highway Patrol on me. It wasn't thankfully. It was a fully equipped rider in a riding suit.
I decided to go and see if he'd follow. Oh boy did he. After half a mile I signaled him to pass which he did with a thankful toot of his horn. I now followed him. He had his knee just about scraping and leaning/hanging on to his bike like a master. I kept up with him until my road a few turns later.

I thought about continuing on, but now I'd be racing.

What a great drive.

It'a life's little things... :tup:

I'm amazed by your self control. :tup:
