So I installed the Z1 oil pan spacer. Have a problem...
I made the slippery sandwich of oil pan, grey RTV, spacer, grey RTV and was trying to line up the holes and needless to say, it slipped around a bit. BUT, I got it lined up and hand tightened the bolts. I let it sit for and hour, then tightened a little more to spec. I let this sit overnight, and about 15 hours later I filled with Redline oil. (A Mobil 1 oil filter was also changed out before the spacer was put on). Anyway, I went to start the car, which was on 4 jack stands and let it run for 10 minutes. I checked for leaks, there are none. I turn off the engine. So I get the car down and get in and was about to take it for a drive. I start the car and notice the low oil pressure light is on in the dash. I don't now if this was on during the 10 minutes I let it run because I was not in the car, I was underneath it checking for leaks. Why is the low oil pressure light on?? Could it be that some of the RTV slid off while wet when I was trying to install it into the oil pan, dried, and is now blocking the pick-up screen? I also hope I didn't do any engine damage while it idled for 10 minutes. The engine sounds normal, no clunking noises or anything. So now I'm at the point where I am going to drain the oil out again through a screen filter, and redo the spacer installation. Ugh!! |

Finally took the car out for some spirited driving. Left Buffalo this morning at 9 for Pennsylvania. Just got back. Awesome roads. Wish I had a way to take pictures while driving the curvy roads because they were beautiful.

Started filling out the permit for nitrous oxide
|
Installed iJDMTOY running, brake & backup light. Looks very cool.
While I was in the hatch area, covered the wheel wells, spare and cross brace with Noico 80 mil butyl sound dreading material. I did not have a way to measure before and after road noise. Subjectively the road noise is less bright or tinny. I like it.:driving: |
Today I tackled my.......
Headlights.

Forgot to post this up, but got some firehawk indy 500's mounted and balanced about a week ago....loving them, fairly quiet and very sticky tires....for those not in the know the new firehawk indy 500's are bridgestone re-003 in disguise :D

Put a Takeda Attack CAI in my totally stock 09' touring 6spd. Definetly gives the VHR a little more character and hopefully a little more power. Did it mostly for the sound. No more Pathfinder. Great kit, install was easy, happy with the results. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fcafc4294f.jpg
The infamous radiator mount squeeze. Definetly pinching the silicone but I liked not having to cut anything. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...8974e7bd51.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f622188340.jpg Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk |

There was no particular reason I spec'd that one, it was just part of the price match quote I was lucky enough to get. |

Put another 250 miles on Z. On the way home, I passed three cops at 90 mph :eek:
85 mph speed limit though, so they didn't even bat an eye :tup: |
90 in CA gets u atrip to the Pokey, do not pass GO..:eekdance:

But wrote me for 'basic speed' :tup: |
I feel like someone needs to be doing a BMX or skateboard trick over it. Got some BTS footage in via snapchat at least. Mike-GZ

Mine got washed the night before...
Today a quick polish with some V38, then some Chemical Guys Celeste on it. 50/50 is good, but Celeste = even better!! Chemical Guys - Celeste Dettaglio V2 Paste Wax Looks amazing!!! |

I really feel the car needs coilovers next. No more wheel wobble from the spacers. So maybe do another run with ya soon! |
Glad to hear! Definitely on the run... Been scoping some good routes from the motorcycle forums lol. Also just recently discovered 3-4 cars & coffee events in the area that look promising:tup:
