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

chops · 10-14-2013, 11:19 AM

yesterday:

- carbotech xp8's all around
- rbf600 brake flush
- z1 stainless steel clutch line
- rbf600 clutch flush
- raised the coils an inch/stiffened it up a smidge
- AK370Z gopro mount

saturday: buttonwillow!

and holy ****, the xp8's bite like crazy. ive got around 35k on the z and ive used probably 5mm worth of pad material on the stock pads. the xp8's bite with such little pedal action. and it just keeps grabbing!

This does not fall under the 'what I did to my Z' (edit: probably does fall under "what I did"), but nonetheless, it happened.

Blowout.

not sure, but it's not the yok advan or BS 050A, or BS S04, or DW's.

it's not an asymetric tire which is part of the problem imho... add low pressure and you got weak inner sidewall.

Stock tires. Needed replacing soon regardless. Live and learn.

My negligence might have exacerbated the situation. (I kept seeing the damn tire light, but procrastinated to the fullest.)

Note: Also, it didn't help that I had few nails in there. Haha.

yikes

dropped my Z off at the dealership this morning. was pretty worried about all my mods and getting the screw off atittude but the service advisor seemed nice. looks like my AC compressor/clutch froze. 3 days before warranty runs out.
