I Frankensteined my Tomei Y pipe with a Dynomax VT muffler (apparently for a 5.8L Tundra). Incredible difference in exhaust noise. A little louder than stock at idle but has some volume and rumble at full throttle, not obnoxious though. I gave it a full rev while under an overpass and it was totally tolerable.

Keep in mind this is a header back, single side exhaust, that was compared to Z1s race car when I was up there getting my tune. (John had to wear ear protection during the process)

Lowering springs

Powdered strut bar

:gtfo2: you are a busy man. :tup:

:iagree: (with everything Ms. BC20 posts)

:tup:
Then
:ugh2:

Cleaned up and re-organized the garage in preparation for winter Z storage :rolleyes:

:crying: soon.

So here's the nudies of the intakes... Definitely feel the difference in the low end being smoother. Stronger pulls, more aggressive tone (sort of like the g35/37 exhaust kinda...) and looks cool as hell!

I am pleased with them. :rofl2:

The install took about 4 hours... a little long but was having trouble fitting the intake brackets over the engine area (after 30 min I just decided to re-use the old intakes brackets and my friend and I just shook our head thinking why not sooner) and the bumper was being a bit fickle. All in all it was fairly easy. Dremel was a lot easier than expected. Probably the easiest part of the job! Followed the guide for the MAF part and left them in the old intakes until I was done fitting and installation.

The Z goes in hibernation in other parts of the country. So sad.

motored my z this am for this season's finale. had a great time. :tup:

my rides are now in hibernation. :D im glad i dont have to worry about possible salt/icemelt next weekend or any weekend for that matter. will pull her out around march next year.

Installed Status Ring GT-X and Buddyclub super low mount,slider,bracket.

Sick!! I want those seats!! Lol

That's on my agenda this coming weekend. We drove the Z this weekend up to Wisconsin and it got rained on and is filthy. Can't wait to clean it up when I get back home.

Picked up one of these from Amazon.

Amazon.com: BAFX Products - Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool - For check engine light & diagnostics - Android ONLY: Automotive

Downloaded the Torque App on my Android phone. Lots of cool options on this thing. It does almost all the things my old AeroForce Interceptor ScanGauge did for my SRT-4 at a fraction of the cost.

Yesterday we took advantage of the perfect weather to do a little light "testing" to see which of our cars handles better, a c6 z06 or an 09 nismo, through some super quiet, windy back country roads. The only handling upgrades are new tires on both (Nitto Invos and Potenza RE11s). Spoiler- my nismo cleaned house with the competition. Now I just need that 500whp he's got under the hood of the z06... It was a perfect day. :)

Now that I put my new shift knob on, I'm aware of where my shifter boot is wearing where it made contact with the OEM knob.
Guess a new boot is in my future.

I'm a big Invo fan, but they are nowhere near the same performance as RE-11s. Whoever is on the RE-11s in that battle is going to win. I currently have two sets of Sport Ray's, one with RE-11s and one with Invos. The only chance Invos have to outperform the RE-11s would be in the rain :twocents:

Coupla turbo's will do that for you.

I got this one. It came with Windows software. A little more expensive but I wanted the Windows software.

ScanTool 426101 OBDLink MX Bluetooth: OBD Adapter/Diagnostic Scanner for Android & Windows

It is very cool. Yours does all the same stuff, just does not come with the Windows software. There is free stuff out there though. Fun stuff. I used it to diagnose the CEL on my truck. Now just need to fix it.

While everyone else is putting away their baby for winter, I just got Blizzaks put on the spare set of wheels I had. I've got the sand tube, and the Blizzaks will go on when the snow arrives. I'm :driving: as long as it's not over 4" on the ground, then it will be :gtfo2:

:ugh2: 20% chance of rain today. Yupp Harry got rained on in the parking lot so he's filthy too. I will rant about wet Amish horse **** on the highway in Pints thread. :shakes head:

blizzaks are kickarse :tup:

i hate horses that takes a dump on the side of the road. :mad: im glad the wooded areas where i motor my cars the community there must've complained and got rid of horse shittage.

Took the Z to the park for our near daily workout. On the way home, I saw a very sad homeless man that reminded me of my grandpa. I went to get a few bucks cash and risked getting the Z rear ended in a U-turn lane to get it to him. The good part is that with the new Uprev tune, I could get up and go pretty damn quick.

Just got home. Z has 750 more ticks on the clock after this weekend. Now I have some serious cleaning to do.

^ My exact plan within the next month or so. Will work from home if I know snow is coming, but I'm DDing this baby all year 'round. :driving:

:tup:

so you just showed off your car to the homeless man and sped off? :ugh2:













:icon17:

Yes. :p

He got $4 and the car that had to stop behind me was probably annoyed so I sped off.

i bet the homeless man was like 'an angel came from the skies and sped off.'

:icon17:

"Who was that masked man?"

Just finished Vinyl Wrapping the rear bumper. Only Front bumper is left =) almost thereeee

:hello:

Lol. I drive it through about 75miles of rain then it was outside at the B&B.

Spent about 2.5 hours cleaning her up today. Aside from some more rock chips, she's sitting pretty again. I'll keep her out for a few more weeks. Looks like the weather is holding, for now.

mspint was wearing a stig helmet? :confused: lol

:tup: good job :tiphat:

Weather holding here too. Except for the rain. Not too cold-50-60f so far. Mornings cool but nothing at freezing. :excited::happydance:

:icon18:

On topic: left my beloved Harry in the garage today even tho he is already dirty.

Adding the tein s tech springs to my wishlist. It's a small drop but enough to please me.

Sometimes I look like a guy.... :icon17:

Oops. When I was reading the thread, I wasn't paying attention to who made the post. :wtf2:

LOL! Thanks for not taking offense at my blunder.
