Make sure you really wash (power spray?) the undersides or you'll be sniffing rotten meat for months (source: hit bloated raccoon corpse and still found fur chunks until sold car 4 years later)

IKR

Thankfully, I have a lot of fluid maintenance planned in the next few weeks. So I'll have the car up on jack stands again soon and will go after all the nooks and crannies with cleaning products and shop cloths. I was glad there was no noticeable odor inside the car when I got in this morning.

Dipped outta work a li'l early yesterday and gave my lady a full wash/wax/detail!

The weather looks to be cooperative for the next several days so hopefully its not all in vain...

It was 33 out yesterday...

I took mine to work. Full detail this weekend. Wish I could get my swift springs and exhaust installed. It's absolutely killing me. Tow strap and new shift knob do look nice though.

Took mine out for a drive yesterday & damn it the love bugs are out already.

I feel like doing as you guys up north & just putting it in the garage for those 2+ months. With the top down some hit the top of the seats & wind deflector at low speeds.

Yeah... I was bitching up a storm the entire time as I was freezing my a$$ off

finished most of it in the garage around 11pm so it wasn't bad at all. I applaud you patience... not sure I'd be able to wait if I had those goodies in-hand!

Got my S04's from TireRack last week (used the link on the main page) and am having them mounted and balanced tomorrow.

Then it's off to get an inspection sticker and I'm good until next year.

JARblue · 04-13-2016, 10:23 AM

Ordered my ZSpeed black undershroud, Redline MT and diff fluids, and a caliper rebuild kit for all four corners

TreeSemdyZee · 04-13-2016, 06:59 PM

I awoke to frost on my Z and found out that I it will be 80 on Sunday. I'm so confused that I don't know what to do with my Z.

justsomeguy · 04-13-2016, 08:16 PM

Just installed my new shift knob!

Leingod · 04-14-2016, 06:41 PM

Over 2 hours to put just the rear wheel spacers on. The retards at the dealership had to have tightened the ever living hell out of every single lug. Had to use a breaker bar to get them off. Completely shredded 2 lugs. have to order a few replacements eventually. What a nightmare. Not looking forward to doing the front. Put anti-seize stuff on every thread possible.

At least the car doesn't shake or anything when driving with the spacers on. May downsize to 20mm all around. Not sure if I care for the amount of bottom wheel poke.
