What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

OldFart · 07-04-2014, 06:38 PM

Actually had the afternoon off and leisurely worked on the car. Overkill but installed my oil pan spacer and mocked up the oil cooler. Tore off the front nose for the Nismo coversion. Installed Whiteline front sway bar. Next plan of attack in the morning is to remove front struts for coilovers, do a bit of detailing on the driver side front... Get ready to put the SPL control arms, Fortune coilovers and R1 Concepts drilled rotors on the driver side.

Got my reupholstered seats installed and drove her for the first time in several weeks. Tomorrow I am working on installing leather door panels.

As for what I did, I began peeling the plastidip off the handles, in preparation to swap for some Equalme paint-matched handles.

you are on the path to recovery!

Did you have to do any modifications to the front sways? I had to drill my Whiteline fronts out before I could fit the end links.

Drove the Z to supercar saturdays. Then cruised with an Aventador for a bit on the way home. Oh yeah there was a Mustang v6 with racing stripes and exhaust that blew past us on the highway....the Aventador walked it like it was going in reverse. Stupid Mustang owners...

Don't rip on stangs, you'll start to sound like the 3owners ripping on Zs. Speaking of, I dusted a 535 today.

And? I'm not a fan of Mustangs especially the v6 wannabes

It is not the car itself that bugs me all that much. It is the drivers of said vehicles who think they are something they are not and the 50+ year old technology that goes into them.

Oh -- I hope your "dusting" of the 535 took place on a closed track and not a public road. It is not only imbecilic but also a violation of forum rules to engage in, or discuss, street racing of any kind.

I reported this post for you to the mods.

You are welcome. I am here to help out those less equipped.
