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

roy'sz · 10-18-2013, 07:04 PM

drove the z to work today. I was temporarily assigned to another shop and for the longest time I had talked of my z. I guess no one believed me until today when they saw and heard it. Lots of people oohing and aaaahing over the beast. I only worked half day because I am relocating to Palmdale for a new job within the company. Tomorrow I am going to put on over 200 miles for a place to live. Lookin forward to it.

Picked up the Turtle Wax Black Box Collection and spent 5 hours killing my back and giving my lady that shine!

Great product package for any black owners!

B15, I like the first pic, looks like the exhaust cracked the driveway

In preparation for whenever I get to go drag racing again and try and beat my 13.3@107, last night I did a little weight reduction. I removed the spare tire and wheel, jack, lugnut wrench & tools, child seat anchor bracket, front tow hook, rear tow hook, and rear floor mat. It all added up to 46.8 lbs. And today I made my Z jealous by temporarily falling in love with a 2014 Corvette, it was a red automatic (same as my Z) and it had red interior and brake calipers and black wheels and a removable roof panel. I work at a GM dealer and I did a pre delivery inspection on it first thing this morning. That included a 9 mile test drive with some highway time. What made my heart beat faster was when I decided to do a full throttle acceleration from 45 up to 75, it surprised me with its brutal acceleration that it flew from 45 up to 90 in what seemed like 1 second and I stomped on the brakes when I looked down and saw 90 after letting off. So after that I was in love with it as it was in the shop for me to admire until it was delivered to it's owner at 3pm. My car stickered at $37,465 (although I bought it for $29,988 after it sat on the dealers lot for 14 months) and the Corvette stickers at $62,500. So after work I went home and admired and drove my Z again. I think she will forgive me for todays fling and realize that I will always come home to and love my Z. To me the Vette is digital and the Z is analog. The Vette has a ton of info available on it's displays, heads up display with a few choices. Speedo, tach, etc. display that has alot of choices including tire temperature that said warm after my test drive. Radio & HVAC touch screen display that lowers to access a cubby hole and USB port. A few things on the rear view mirror such as compass. The Vette has an electronically controlled rear differential and electrically actuated valves in the exhaust tips. And the Z has analog everything other than the digital clock and the trip computer screen that I usually just leave on the outside temp display. The Vette has small paddles mounted on the steering wheel,and the Z has large ones on the column. The Vette seemed a little tighter inside and the seat bolsters hugged me tighter. Both cars have 245mm tires on front, Vette has 285 rear and Z 275 rear. So overall I really love my Z. Walking out of a store tonight I realized that another benefit of parking out away from other cars is that it gives me more time to admire my Z as I am walking towards her.

Got some new much needed tires today BFG Gforce. They feel great and much quieter on the freeway than the advan sports.

MadChemist · 10-18-2013, 09:15 PM

Found a killer deal on an intake and exhaust. Tomorrow, I drive, uninstall, and drive back. Its going to be a long day.

Headlight LEDs and blackout housing finished using heat gun method!

went to an 1/8 mile track and ran 11 times. best time was 8.968 with a 2.3 60 ft time. Need some better tires lol. First time out and it was a blast. Ran against another modded 370z a bunch of times too.

I did a few runs today at the strip. Best 1/8 time was 8.476 with a 1.9 60 ft. Best 1/4 was 13.066 and best speed was 109.32 The stock tires worked great.

nice man. think my times were on par somewhat. it's not a 'real' track per say. beat the other modded 370 every time lol

Picked up my car today with the new headers installed and took her for a long drive afterwards. The exhaust note is beautiful and the engine is now smooth when going through mid-to-high rpms. I'm telling you the car sounds exactly as it should. It screams like a racecar.

LostSol · 10-19-2013, 03:27 PM

Replaced the rear diff bushings. What a PITA

Rusty · 10-19-2013, 04:03 PM

Started doing my suspension up-grades.

Working 14 hr days doesn't leave much time to do things.

TheGreatOne · 10-19-2013, 05:21 PM

Picked up my KellyFields hood struts (shipped to a border address)

Once again my Z saves me from paying taxes....

crossing the US border, borderguard just keeps asking about the Z and what I've done to it. Doesn't ask about the packages I have on my front seat (my springs to ship to e36er)

On the way back crossing into Canada same thing, told me to go on my way...no taxes to pay

woot!

Riptide67 · 10-19-2013, 09:17 PM

Had these bad boys done! I'm in love with the look, it's so menacing.
