I was like "Whoa dude, slow down -- I just passed 1000 miles on the car and was holding out a few more days to get to 1200 miles to make sure the engine was broken in"

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.

Test fitted rear spats. Have to pick up some strong double sided tape or adhesive to hold them on.

^ 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!

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.

TheGreatOne · 11-04-2012, 04:51 PM

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.
