The next question is... Did you replace it or just clean it? Either way looks good:tup:

Same here, I really want a macro lens. The pic above was taken with the kit 18-55 lens.

Put my exhaust back on. ARK Grip FTW!!!

mishuko 09-27-2014 03:19 PM

All done! Whew long job for just the trunk. What a joy. The sound from the trunk is noticably quieter. Unfortunately I broke one of the clips of the rear hatch :(

Gotta do some research and consideration to the doors and floor

I plan on doing all the rear plus the doors. Estimated cost or a link to a thread detailing the process?

New knob. RIP stock knob.

I didn't do the very back part just the bumper and 2 sides. I lined the entire thing and some parts had a base layer of some 3m junk and then used hushmat. The mega pack has 30 sheets (12x23 size) and took about 12 and a bit for the trunk area. Didn't pull the boxes just lined above them and on the wheel well.

It was worth it imo because now all the noise is coming from the front. Had my gf sit in the car and she was like the noise is coming from here :nutswinger:

Find the cheapest most convenient thing for you... hushmat or dynomat and there are a few other brands that are out there too.

Get a roller and wear gloves.

OldFart 09-27-2014 05:57 PM

Getting closer, traction and camber arms are a work of art. Next weekend I have to myself and hope to bave it all back together and back on the ground.

Can't complete the brakes because the lines were not made correctly, Z1 taking care of it quickly though, hence the brake line hangin'...

Wow you must not drive your Z much. Looks good though, and you won't regret the SPL Parts.

Malm 09-27-2014 06:15 PM

Today I put 40 miles on the Z from just getting lunch, and a hose for the backyard... Needless to say, I went the long way.

Also went over her with detailer after I got home, and experimented with a different brand of tire shine. ( I really like the NXT stuff.. but I cant find it local anymore).

Pro-Clip GPS mount
 
I popped in a Pro-clip USA GPS mount today.
I got the one that sits on the top of the side 'plate' at the front of the console, (to the right of the ventilation controls) reaches down and clips in where this plate meets the carpet in the passenger footwell. I had tried a Garmin air vent-mount originally but I felt it moved around a little too much and I was afraid it would damage the material along the edge of the vent. I'll keep that on hand for the odd time I use a rental or Co-op car.

My Garmin sits right at arm's length and I can spin it either vertically or horizontally. I was initially concerned it might interfere with the far right 'zone' control wheel but it's just fine where it is.
The real beauty is it fits well enough that I didn't have to secure it with the double-sided tape so I can remove it and put it back on real easily.

Yep, same here on the NXT, no longer see it in stores.

I usually drive faster... and if it gets too dirty it means it's wash time!

But seriously I use the windex based one... I just like the smell of my braincells melting.

Saturday ran Harry in auto-x and promptly (2nd run) ran him through the grass/dust/dirt. DNF

TODAY: off to work we go-yupp-rained on us. On top of dust/dirt/grass.

And that my friends is what I did with my Z today :tup:

Do i need to add water or pour it directly to the reservoir? Any rain x? Vegas

jpkirk 09-29-2014 07:21 PM

The rain-x windshield washer fluid comes in a gallon jug, add straight, no dilution. You can get it at most any reputable auto parts store. Wal/Kmart will probably have it as well. How much rain do you get in Vegas? A little over four inches a year. Not much. Still I bet it comes in monsoon style. The rain-x really helps the water bead up on your windshield and blow off when you are at speed.
