Just curious, but for the amount of miles on your Z have you had to replace the timing chain at any point?

Default Out from under the cover....

Got home tonight after work, popped in the battery and put on new plates.
All ready to go after four months under a cover. It has 9444 kms on the clock and still has a new car smell. I have an order from the Rag Company and a bottle of Kenotek detailer to go pick up tomorrow.

Nope nothing in the engine has been touched, chain is still the original one.

They have their problems, but for me the engine was never one of them.

I meant to post this yesterday, but never got around to it
Nothing major, I just washed my car
( Click to show/hide )



As for today, I cleaned my seats and all of the interior plastic trimmings

My clazzio seats arrive this week. I will post pics when I install them

i like to check the oil when buying a car, if the oil is very dirty/black could be a sign of how it was cared for
