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

Nice

14ZTSport · 09-14-2014, 09:28 AM

Wash and detail...to get off the road grime from last 3 days of rain, even knowing there is 20% chance tomorrow and 30% on Tuesday. Sometimes I get lucky and it rains while I'm parked at home or work and roads dry before I have to use them!

Attended the second car show in 3 days. Finished refinishing my engine cover, and went for a nice drive around CT yesterday with my wife. Great weekend with our Z

Did a full clean job today. Washed the engine bay, nooks and crannies, waxed and tire shine. Decided to go for a nice drive through DT Toronto just because! Now she's a bit thirsty!

My wash buckets cracked in the bottom so off I went to my local deli and picked up four 5 gallon pickle buckets for a buck each. Try it, it's better than buying them from your local hardware store.

Does it make you car smell like pickles too?

My local Lowes has buckets for $2 I think; however, I haven't bucket washed my car lately. Power washer + foam cannon + grout sponges (which are disposable)

i use the griots wash buckets with casters cause they are rectangular in shape and dont take up as much room in the garage horizontally as regular round buckets. ofcourse they come with a premium price though...

MadMan · 09-15-2014, 09:21 AM

Dropped the Z off at the body shop.
Now driving a Sentra

I've found that the name Griot's implies quality. They sell good stuff.

I got to meet some of the guys from the Middle Tennessee Z Club and we went for a cruise through Kentucky this weekend.

(Hopefully pictures will follow shortly)

Drove from DC to Keyser WV and back for a baby dedication. I like 50 between New Creek WV and Winchester VA. Nice road.

LOL. I love the idea of recycling these things.

Griots makes great stuff but too much money for a bucket, 5 bucks and I have 5 5-gallon drums.

Time to get some whiteline diff bushings or spl's. Found that it's a common issue among other common issues with the Z. Had mine replaced about a month ago.

Looks like a bushing. Diff won't do that unless your filler plug fell out, which is unlikely

well, theres a breather hose to the diff. once you overheat oil starts to throw up out of that breather hose
