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

JARblue · 12-06-2014, 03:27 PM

Today I broke two exhaust bolts and discovered a separated rear tire during my endeavor to grease the rear axles. Thankfully, the bolts are not welded to the flange as the dealer told me on the phone when I called to see if they had some replacement bolts in stock. I called up Kevin at Austin Z Clinic and drove the car over to him after putting it back together as best I could. He hammered out the old bolts and found me some replacements. I then drove over to nearby Discount Tire (a forum member works there) to see what my best options were for tire replacement. Of course, they have very limited stock of 19s, and the local warehouse is closed on the weekends. It is looking like I'm going to buy some new RE-11s though.

The long and short of the day is NO MORE AXLE CLICK!!

oh and parking brake is adjusted, too. I may or may not attempt the SS brake line install later this weekend.
