Pretty sure the shaft isn't supposed to do that :ugh2:

Some light reading then went back to check it out... and NO play like in the other video. It was somewhat warmed up before and has been sitting since, can't imagine that making a difference but I really don't know.

Even more confused now than before :icon14:

I cleaned my mafs.....Im the 2nd owner of my Z, I bought it about 6 months ago. I dont know the previous owner or anything about the life my Z led before me. Shortly after purchase, I had an Ark Grip cat-back installed as well as I installed a set of R2C dropins. There was a minor bit of performance increase as noticed by the butt dyno, but today I got to thinking, I wonder if the previous owner used oiled intake filters and if so, did he over oil them. Now when i bought my Z, it had brand new stock paper filters installed, so its possible.
Welp, the maf cleaning today indeed improved performance a lil' bit so Im assuming yes on my previous speculation.

Oh....Im really diggin' the Ark Grip sound, damn near intoxicating.

Texas is huge. Yesterday I drove to Ozona and back. Not Arizona. The total driving distance would have taken me all the way to the Arizona border. As it was though, I barely drove halfway to El Paso :icon14:

I drove it to work!!!!!

Big deal for me since the last time I drove it was at the end of Jan (deer accident)

Sounds like you are over in my neck of the woods. I'm about 2 hours East of Houston.
We adopted a dog to a family from Ozona, and met up with them at the rest area out by Columbus.
Next time you go thru there, stop in Schulenberg and eat at Frank's restaurant. Good homestyle cooking. At least until October. They're closing after 90 years.

I'm in Austin, so not quite as far as you ;)

It's been years, but I've eaten at Frank's dozens of times when I was a kid on our way to visit family in the Houston area. Terrible news they are closing :( Next time I'm headed to Houston, I will definitely make sure to swing by.

I ordered my SPL midlinks and the correct sized Swift springs for my Aragosta coilovers today. Suspension work coming soon.

They're just as proud of those,as the front uppers.
I like the adjustability on the mid-links(toe & ride height)...think I'm going that way when I drop mine a tad.

Pulled over for 80+ in a 65 today. Super chill cop. Didn't even give me a written warning - just told me to slow down. Yes sir! :D

Also, had to tell some 16 year old to put down his phone while driving. He gave me some lip and I put him in his place at the next light where we had a chance to chat. Fuckin entitled millenials or whatever that generation is called :shakes head:

After the millens, 1995 +are called Generation Z. Not kidding.

Put a new, higher capacity, rechargeable battery in my dashcam, because the original one has died. It only required soldering 2 wires. The capacity of the old battery was 325m/ah and the new one is 850m/ah. It's a thicker battery, so I needed to remove the padded tape that held the old one in place. The new one doesn't need to be held in place beacause it's thicker - just hope it doesn't overheat.

Hopefully now I can use the cam when I'm parked up, without the battery dying after 5 seconds.

They don't deserve the name Z :thumbsdown:

:iagree:

Interesting. In the first video you grabbed the pulley and pulled/pushed and in the second video you grab the edge of the pulley and twist instead of grabbing and pulling.

Just an observation.
