Looking to purchase springs soon. I've been reading and reading, correct me If I'm wrong but I can be fine with front camber arms and rear bolts? or I should just go for camber arms all around and the springs?

Weather was perfect today, about 50°F during the day, and she was happy as can be with all that cold air in her manifold. Put a few miles on her, window down listening to that sweet velvety FI exhaust note as I shifted gears and accelerated or decelerated. I drove all over the place visiting friends and cruising, and when I got home, I checked my mail and what do you know... Her Title arrived finally. It was all I could do to just stand there and look at her - All Mine... :cool:

bumped my z's butt with a snowbrum handle while pulling it out from the shelf. :ugh:

i can fix it. :ugh: ... which can escalate to bed frames falling on the car. :ugh2:

Reposted from here http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...-scraping.html

To here.

I wanted to share my experience with the same noise scraping noise albeit mine was more pronounced as the temps would drops and what I found this weekend will make some sense.

I've had this on and off annoying scraping noise for a couple of years :| I could never figure it out blaming tire scrape on the fender liners or the plastic rivets that hold the wheel liner were not holding it in place thinking they moved to cause the scrape sound.

I lifted the front end up and decided to take a close look at the swaybar bushings to see that maybe just maybe it would be from there

I took them out and found them dry to the bone and thought hum thats what more than likely causing the scraping sound since the plastic bushing was making direct contact or metal in my case to swaybar.

I removed and cleaned the bushing and braket and apllied plenty of grease to the inside of the bushings and reinstalled.

It was 55º this morning coming to work and where I would normally hear the scraping sound along the drive there was NO MORE scraping sounds coming from the front end.

I highly recommend everyone who has encountered this particular sound to just make sure that the front Hotchkis swaybar is greased even after a year of use.

Thats all for now carry on :)

While everyone is putting their Z away for winter, I'm getting mine prepared for it. Ordered a set of 18' Sport Edition A7s with some Blizzak LM60s. I can work from home on snow days but the piece of mind these things will give me over the next few months is well worth it.

I stared at mine in the carport for a few mins. The next time I drive her will be to transport my silky black Z to her new stable in mid December. I will finally have a heated garage and no more stray cats walking on top of my cars.

Ok, not really, but I sure will NOT be putting it away for winter. I say drive it too. :werd:

Drove to Ohio and back yesterday (woo 19 hour trip) to pick up my rebuilt engine. About the same prices as turbo-ing a 370, but should be a lot more fun once it's back in the car. The shop did TONS of work and it looks great. A few of the major things they did are listed below

Full block and head overhaul, Ground crankshaft, Rear crank seal conversion (and replace all seals in engine), Reconditioned rods, new bearings, balanced rotating assembly, cylinder head cleaned and pressure tested, new valve guides, new (lead-free) exhaust valve seats, ground valves, cylinders relined from 83mm to 87mm (1991cc to 2138cc), rebuilt distributor, rebuit oil pump, Ground Camshaft, New timing chain and tensioner, ARP head studs, new hi-torque starter, new 4 vane water pump and tons of other odds and ends.

Wish I could say I did the work myself, but I figured I'd leave these specialty engines up to the pros. Should be putting out a little bit more grunt than the stock 100bhp, which will be ample in a tiny wooden car.
