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

kenchan · 07-31-2013, 08:38 PM

Installed fender clearbra. Will do the hood next.

critical · 07-31-2013, 09:41 PM

Greased my poly bushings on my sways. No more squeaks. Should have done this on install but had to wait an extra few days for the grease to come in and I was impatient. Can pretty much do this without the car on jacks, so it was no biggie.

Also found this guy on Instagram.

Ordered MT 85 and OSG diff fluid from Joe@ZSpeed. Also added a magnetic drain plug for giggles.

Nice

I'm trying to plan my next steps... Engine build, diff, traction control, seats, track days, track wheels/tires...

Hey, Critical,

Please share the source and type of grease you used, my '09 should be just about due for that treatment also.

Thanks!

Hankook v12 285/35, 255/40 only 3 days new. Motored a bit on the way to coffee this morning, fresh dew soaked roads were conquered with ease.

Got almost 25k from my 255/35, 295/30 with lots of tread left up front.

yah, honestly i really shouldve done this much sooner. it wasn't until recently i really noticed the tiny chips on my G which is 9yrs old this year that i regret not clearbra-ing. then some rock did a nasty hit on the hood of my G last week and was like that's it!

didn't want to repeat my mistake so went ahead to salvage the rest of my Z's clean front end.

i have like 3 chips on there already, but oh well. at least i wont have those tiny chips now.

Sh0velMan · 08-01-2013, 01:15 PM

After nearly a month, my swaybars have finally shipped...!

So I'll be painting my cage Saturday, then on Monday when the bars come in, slapping those on.
