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

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.

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.

dmhenderson · 11-06-2012, 10:30 AM

After Adams 3 stage wax/polish (ran out of time so I skipped the glaze). Headlights and wheels finally done.

FI exhaust and cats in a week or two!

GaleForce · 11-06-2012, 12:22 PM
