MB looks awesome when freshly washed and waxed! It's just so hard to keep it that way. Looks great!

Thank you, I try to wash it every week if I can help it.
Being Christmas and all, I decided to go the extra mile.

im retired, keep car covered when not in use, its MB and it consumes a lot of time(which I have) to keep it looking primo,,,MB DD, not for me

Had to bring the Z out of storage on Xmas! The weather was just too nice... 50+ degrees in CNY this time of year doesn't happen... Made my day

It's been around 60-70 degrees here. Im driving Z and wearing shorts this time of year. Cant ask for much more, even attended cars n coffee this morning.

On Vacation,so decided to remove my driver's seat (base,touring,leather,heated)
it needs a good cleaning & was wanting to widen the seat section a bit....make more comfortable for long rides.
at 6'5"285/most weight is in seat & would like to have a bit more room...leg room is great!
any links or input without getting laughed at?
would also be good to widen the shoulder area-to hold in place better.
i may have to get an aftermarket seat...all suggestions welcome/not in a rush.
ty,joby

Alright so opinions needed. I don't have the cash to be able to buy winter tires (******* $1,000 a set) but I have the ability to buy 4 new, correctly sized, michelin all-seasons for $450 shipped. All-seasons are better than nothing for snow at least right?

19x9,10 wheels?

245/40/19's for the front and 275/35/19's for the back

You should be okay, as long as the snow doesn't get over 3" deep, then you are a fancy snowplow. I am running all-seasons with one tube of sand under the rear bar, along with running slowly, or at least I will be, once the body shop gives me Belle back. Last year I ran Blizzaks on the back and the summer tires up front with the sand. As long as I was smart, I had no issues. :)

Quick wash and then blow-dry with my leaf-blower...

At some point this week I need to begin the arduous task of replacing my windshield wipers.

I suggest a good night's sleep before you embark on this adventure.

Good tip. Oh, I'm on it man. I've had the entire process playing over and over in my mine. I'm as fine tuned as The Clifford. I got this!

They're that muc of a PITA eh?

No.

LOL! i take everything too seriously.

That makes me feel a lot better. Thanks!

Nice!

If your car isn't slammed to the ground & camber is within specs; use a 45/40 front & rear...about 1" taller; will fit & give a bit more clearance.

Gotta say I love the license plate

:tiphat:

Well, I decided to tackle my wiper blade project. I worked at the passenger side for what seemed like 30 minutes (or maybe it was 30 seconds...something like that). Finally, I was able to give a sigh of relief when I heard that reassuring "click." Thinking the other side always goes easier, I was sadly mistaken. It felt like it took the same time. At least now I can say I'm done and precipitous frontal viewing has been restored.

I love it when I can complete a job like that...it make me feel like a real mechanic. :p

on christmas i went for a drive with my gf and drove around different neighborhoods looking at christmas lights.

parked it again sunday.

oh and ordered my MSC/ HD CSC today... saving up for the labour :(

^^ You're going to pay someone to do it?

Man up and get under the car like a real man, and do it yourself it's not that hard :stirthepot:

dropping the transmission isn't an easy task for a non-mechanically inclined....

i wonder if valetine1 is working this holiday cause ive yet to receive my updated v1's... :ugh:

Got my Z back from the auto body shop this morning. Thankfully, they did a great job fixing the dent in the door.

Find a friend with a lift :tiphat:

I had the friend but no lift. I don't exactly recommend it, but it is doable with jack stands and a cheap transmission jack.

lol if i had that connection i wouldn't pay anyone to do it

i doesnt have mechanic friends :(

The forum might be a good place to search for some help. I know there are guys on here that would do the work, and many are probably more qualified than the idiots at the dealer or some sketchy repair shop. Though you're probably not going to get away with just some pizza and beer for the work :icon17:

lol i should harass gale... tell him i'll scratch his car jk

naw i'm on good terms with my current shop. they've been doing all my work so far. fair prices... plus i much rathey pin the blame on them than on a fellow forum brother

unless you're pansy

Not today but tomorrow I'm putting the Nismo wing on along with putting in the ijdmtoy fog light :excited::excited:

I rashed my right rear wheel whilst parking and not paying attention yesterday...

These guys will get more of my business now...

Kwicksilver Wheel Repair - Rim Repair & Alloy Wheel Repair

oh uh =(

i have rashed my rims aswell... i keep it around to remind me of my mistakes :shakes head:

I get curb rash fixed right away. I have plenty of other reminders of my mistakes...

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

Indeed. My self-diagnosed OCD makes me crazy about the little nicks, scrapes, etc. on my Z.

Morning all. First day back to work. Ugh. Dragging ***. Happy that my wife and I have jobs to go to though.

Hope everyone has a good day.
