Ouch, 2 lessons in one day. Take it to the track, it is safer/cheaper.

It was tough bringing myself to shove them in the oven! But, it was actually easy. I let them cook for 13 minutes at 250 degrees and the silicone was almost like butter lol. They came right apart with the help of a screwdriver. Im just nervous because I am not an artistic man so this paint job may not be great hhahaha.

And no halos for me, ive been thinking about if I was going to do that or not and decided I just want to go with the blackout look

:iagree:

wow... my wife would kill me if she saw a dogdamn headlamp in her brand new stove. :ugh2:

i :yum: at my Z when i opened the garage to clean bird crap off my dd... :ugh:

cant wait to pull her out tomorrow for the new tire break in... :excited:

One time, one of my wives came home (I think it was number 2) and she saw a big covered pot on the stove. She says "Yummy, you made dinner, what is it?".

"SU carburetor parts" I said.

:rofl2:

This was a spur of the moment diy as my significant other is on vacation, otherwise this wouldve been a no go.

I once assembled a 240Z engine in my kitchen when Wife #1 was on a business trip. The lighting was better there.

:tup:

my wife is planning a vacation in oct with the kids... hummmmm...

I so much love this mod, but scared and too old to do this.

I hate the name Rays, everytime I see it mentioned I think of the baseball team.

lol that's funny because RAYS wheels were founded 1973, just about 25 years before the tampa bay rays was originally founded :tup: So I'm thinking it should be the other way around ;)

That's funny, when I hear "Rays" I think of Ray, the camp counselor I had who used to...

Never mind.

Too painful.

^do continue... :P

"One time at band camp..."

^^ what happens at band camp stays at band camp.

Picking up some emergency oil and supplies for my upcoming road trip. As much as I want to wash the car rain is scheduled for the weekend. Waiting for Sunday evening/monday

Finished painting. Still need to reseal and clean the lens up!

:icon17:

Day 5, no Z. Finally got the call that a replacement TE37 cannot be found. Insurance will be reimbursing me for the cost of one wheel. Hopefully I'll have the car back soon, after the wheel discussion, I asked the gentleman the status of the car and was told that the wheel has to be returned from the repair facility and the car has to be "buttoned up." I wonder how many pieces it is currently in...

I was really hoping to have it back today, wheel or no wheel.

:shakes head: hope you get your car back soon...

Got a ticket today, 41 in a 25, 256.00. When the cop walks back to my car, I thought he was going to tell me he's going to ticket me after taking my license registration etc... Well, he already has the damn thing printed. I told him "Would it help if I told you my Son in Law is a Cop in a neighboring area" he looks at me and says, well why didn't you tell me earlier? I said "I didn't know you'd computer print the ticket so fast"....Cop says "well I can't void the ticket"...oh boy. First speeding ticket and I've been driving nearly 45 years....guess I can't complain. My son in law told me yeah they stopped being able to void tickets because it was being abused...supposedly. I would have liked to abuse it today.
Laughs all around.

Bite your tongue! :driving:

:iagree:

Your absolutely right it was stupid that's why I said I felt like a jackass. Definitely not worth it and can't afford to do it again. As for the post again you are correct. I haven't been a member for long and didn't remember that rule. I deleted the post. Lesson learned. My apologies.

Walked to garage, stared at it for a bit since I only had a 1/2 hour, cursed that I'm working 10 to 8 today and wondered when the hell I am getting a chance to put the thing back together. :shakes head:

She's currently napping at VDC_OFF's house.

motored my Z this am, qd'ed afterwards. was a great drive. :p

new tires sticking very well. i like them. i think i can say i am done modding (photoshopping) my Z. :D
re-torqued the lugs afterwards.

Put on a thick coat of Mutters carnuba wax..Everybody loves their Mother.....

Then again I'm not a real doctor.....lol lol lol

but you could be a good engrish teacher. :tup:

:tup:

Early morning bath, MAZOC meet, then ROAD TRIP.... From Washington D.C. to backcountry West Virginia. First road trip. This car just rocks.

She got halos. :tup:

:pics:

The shrouds need to be restored first. That'll happen tomorrow.

Be careful in WV.

Replaced my master and have pressure in my.pedal again!!

So you won't be dropping the transmission just yet? :tup:

Yes!! But it's still on my list to do. Just not a priority right now so happy I get to drive again.

Have fun with that! I do not have fond memories of when I dropped the trans. As I like to say, "I spent a full weekend under the car bench pressing a transmission." I had it on a jack, but man was it tough to get back in place. I'm sure I will have to do the CSC and probably an upgraded clutch at some point, I am not looking forward to it.
