Awesome feeling isn't it? Like the car's grown up. LOL.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll clear the sidewalk.

Added some new lugs to the wheels.

Mine too. I first saw it in the theater when I was in college and barely was able to keep from literally rolling in the aisle when Oddball's tanks were blaring "All for the Love of Sunshine" and "I've Been Working on the Railroad." My date thought I had absolutely lost my mind.

And their Sherman tanks are modified to run just as fast in reverse as they do forward. That way, they can get out of trouble just as fast as they get into it. LOL

Just put $34.50 worth of fuel in my Z this morning and had a doctor friend of mine talk about how nice and classy my car is.

barncobob · 08-06-2016, 01:46 PM

put another coat of pinnacle souveran nuba wax on my MB,,,sweet,,takes so little, easy on easy off..

Applied some clear helicopter tape on the underside of my front spoiler. I had an incident last week coming out of a gas station and slightly scraped the underside. It was just enough of an incline to touch the road. I was already committed and couldn't reverse due to other cars behind me. I could kick myself :-(

I touched it up with some Doctor color chip paint then applied the tape. This might help reduce the damage if a next time happens.

mishuko · 08-06-2016, 05:40 PM

Kzonts was it the front under chin aero thingie? Or the actual front fascia?

Sucks tho I have some places I go to and constantly scrape that front. As long as it's not paint I am usually okay.

Problem I have is my driveway incline and a hill on the road causes scraping issues depending on who is parked on the street. Oh and the storm drain I also have to maneuver around to not get a fast dip lol

Such is life.

Or you know you could part out and get a new varis/nismo/amuse front kit

Kzonts · 08-06-2016, 07:02 PM

It's on the underside where the RED dot is on the pic. You can't see it unless you look under. So I applied some tape all along the underside. Maybe it will reduce the damage if and when I become stupid again.

I just got this installed a few months ago and it wasn't cheap. And my car is not lowered, otherwise it would have been much worse.
