You definitely should! Great relaxing drive with lots of good views and empty open roads. Its hard to find long 1\2 way roads in texas that wind the way this route does. If you're ever in D town hit me up man! Post your route if you ever end up doing it. :tup:

Took her to her final Z event, Nismo Fiesta. Didn't win anything but at least some people thought she was pretty lol. I'm going to miss her.

its a scary track though...it'll chew you up and spit you out if you're not careful. here's a brand new Z06. potato quality, sorry!

What?? Motogp and others get to run there at probably 130db but you can't at 91?!

SurfDog 05-24-2015 08:20 PM

Finally popped on my summer wheels. (Wearing slightly track-beat conny DWs). Hard to believe but it just stopped snowing up here!!!! Springtime at last.

Aaaaawwwwwww! That's kinda sad!

First time car has been out since Nov 30th, coilovers on, all suspension mods done along with brakes. Nismo conversion is complete except for front emblem. Still have to play with rear camber and the midlinks for adjustment. I'm just glad to finally see it out.

Yep, took a couple of months to find a set reasonably priced. Persistance paid off..

there's about a dozen unlimited db days a year at laguna seca. its a county owned track so they keep those days for the big LM/GT races. ive already blown past 95db accidentally at 4K RPM and was kicked off the track for the session. 3 violations and you're banned from the club/track :shakes head:

Complete detail of the GTI today, so when I walk into my garage I can see my Z twice! :icon17:

Went for a drive on the twisties in the country, but was stuck behind - what kenchan would call - taffyapples. One of which was toting a Little Rascal on their rear bumper. Average speed during my drive was 30 mph. :ugh2:

For some reason, I'm bored driving the local roads since returning from ZDayZ. Hellbender and The Dragon spoiled me.

A huge rock flew at my car...size of a baseball...
Just got the bumper painted last week too

Z_ealot 05-26-2015 11:27 AM

Changed out the extension housing seal on the transmission on mine this weekend along with treating her to a few quarts of redline mt85 and then went through and detailed the interior...my god I've never seen so much caked on grime on a steering wheel and shift knob in a used car....also changed out the rear diff fluid to redline :)

Sorry to hear. I'd be heartbroken especially after just getting it fixed.

Had my craftsman torque wrench repaired free of charge at Sears. A spring that controls the ratcheting direction broke :icon14:

darkphantom 05-26-2015 03:02 PM

Oye, I see that my G1W-C dash cam came in! Let's hope they gave me the right hardware to hard wire it properly.

It's not just that...

Here's a list of things that happened to my Z that makes me want to sell:
  • Backed into by uninsured motorist (eventually worked out)
  • Backed into by insured motorist who claimed I drove into her car that turned out to be a nightmare to deal with (eventually worked out)
  • A rock cracked my windshield 2 weeks ago
  • CSC failure in the middle of the road
  • Bad hiss or rattle between 2-3k rpm during decel possibly due to Berk HFC
  • Squeaky driver seat springs
  • Clutch safety switch failure
  • Rattling driver side window

If I decide to keep her longer, can't imagine what else can go wrong lol :roflpuke2:

But at this point, I'm just mad that my brand new bumper was damaged and I don't have anyone to blame :rolleyes:

Unbeliveable man! :shakes head:

So sorry for your misfortune, that really sucks my friend. Hope you get her fixed soon

Today, at 4636 miles, I installed a Tru-Cool 24 row oil cooler. Just the cooler, cuz I'm waiting for some 90 degree AN-10 fittings to arrive. I have the braided line and a Mocal 180 degree T-stat plate standing by. While it was up, I wrapped the lines for the CSC with header wrap and aluminum tape. Also wrapped the manifold flange and Cat inlet area for good measure. That should help keep the clutch fluid from overheating and possibly damaging the CSC seals. The RJM clutch pedal should be making its way soon so I can complete the job. Goal is to do whatever it takes, at this point, to keep the CSC happy.

darkphantom 05-26-2015 10:23 PM

Dude, invest in a clear-bra and don't worry about rocks :D
