Dislike.

It's been a busy 2 days. A/S tires and calipers painted VHT Bright Blue yesterday. Handwashed today, cleaned the interior and checked out an irritating "clank" which was , as I thought, nothing more than misplaced tool in the spare tire/jack area.

So I found this little gem shop in Socal and I had them put Invidia Gemini CBE. They did an excellent job some pix below. they're super friendly and offer amazing prices.

Good deal. You might want to adjust your tips, though. They look like they're sticking out too much, in my opinion.

enjoyed a nice cruise yesterday. the z gives me such a good stress relief from the bs i deal with at work.

best toy ever

(for now...)

JARblue · 09-24-2015, 03:04 PM

Bigger pics next time plz

On topic, I went ahead and got an alignment even though I'll be putting new tires on soon (it helps that I have a five-year agreement with NTB). I'm sure I was just noticing some after effects from my off road adventure earlier this week. All seems good now

Not quite today, but in the past week:
Got Pole Position S-04's all around. (Base 18's)

Swapped out 6MT fluid for Amsoil 75w-90 and used Amsoil Series 600 Dot 4 for the clutch.

Took her for a spirited drive today through some back roads, as a break from work. :-)

Did you notice anything different in shifting? Some have said the synthetics smooth it out some. I am waiting to do all the non engine fluids to this winter, with amsoil synthetics. Except brake and clutch to motul.

Yes, definitely smoother shifting after the fluid change. Got rid of a lot of the notchiness I'd felt initially.

I know people have differing opinions about Amsoil, Redline etc; but my pops lived by Amsoil fluids as a long haul truck driver, so I thought I'd keep that going.

i swapped mine and noticed once the tranny is warm it slips right in. any rough shifting is now my sh-tty clutch work.
