We like Sakura the hibachi place and Circles down on Apollo Beach Blvd. Those are our two favorite places. PM me and we can exchange numbers and try to set something up.

There is a car show that takes place on the third Thursday of every month. It's located in West Melbourne. I'm taking my car to the next show. I would love to see a good showing of Z's present. I'll look for the show info and post for all to see. Take care!

Any experienced veterans out there wanna lend a hand changing fluids with me? Ive never changed fluids and my car is almost 4 years old so I think its time to swap out brake fluid and coolant and diff. The dealership wants 120 per fluid and that's not happening lol. Let me know who has tools AND experience with changing fluids. Really don't want to experiment with someone else inexperienced my first time around.

Rob, did you already do fluid swaps?

cptspeed 01-30-2013 12:01 PM

No, I'm still under 30k. but I have done fluid changes in my jeep axles.

cptspeed 01-30-2013 12:01 PM

You in the bay area now?

ddvette9 01-30-2013 12:50 PM

Yea I just moved back for good now. Is it too hard to do brake fluid, coolant and diff in the same day? I guess I need to order online so I can get everything shipped over the next few weeks

cptspeed 01-30-2013 01:36 PM

Probably not.

Niche79 01-30-2013 03:30 PM

Count me in, car just went over 30k and needs some new fluids. Where can we hold this epic fluid changing meet?

ddvette9 01-30-2013 07:29 PM

I'm down too. I'm at 50k and still factory fluid.... YIKES lol.

Osiris 01-30-2013 08:56 PM

i know we're talking about fluid here, but how long is the battery that comes with the Z good for? Mine's about 3 years old now.

Zoren 370 01-30-2013 09:53 PM

Hey I might need some help too with oil change and White line front and rear sway bars install. And with regards to fluids my blood stream has not tasted some juice for quite some time know...usually its great with pizza!!!

Mines already been replaced. :shakes head:

Niche79 01-30-2013 11:15 PM

Matt, in the paperwork I got, mine was replaced last year as well. Ya know, this kinda mod party could become a monthly thing like they did in the Panhandle area. Meet at different places every month. Its a good way to meet new friends and hang out, dont even have to talk cars! With this many already, should be a fun get together, name a wekend and where and what to buy for the flushing.

G35_FTMFW 01-30-2013 11:55 PM

This Zs only?

How long did you have it before having to replace it? I'm trying to find out how long these batteries are rated for.

stock batteries are good for about 4 years from what I can tell. I just went with a yellow top optima battery for good measure because of the months I go overseas and it sets.

as far as doing things with the cars. I offer up my place to do the work. thursday or friday next week I can do some things. just depends on the day for me since I work such strange hours.

cptspeed 01-31-2013 08:41 AM

You will definitely know when the battery is at the end of its life. My car battery lasted just over 3 years but my car is in the stable a lot. I use a tender now.

Nut_N_Much 01-31-2013 09:26 AM

What day are we talking about?
Who's stable will we use?
I would like to assist, I have a fluid pump. Zoren: Your sways we could do also. Intakes no problem, F1/EvoR Lights no problem, Exhaust No Problems, Test Pipes may take some time (Demon Bolt) but could do it if needed, Spring Install, Camber Boltz, all do able.

I could bring the Jeep with the Compressor & air tools to make things go quick!!!:tiphat:

Also if anyone is interested in Painting their lights, I could bring my stuff, 30 to 45 min per a light. I can help you brake them open and paint them (free). You bring the paint. I only have 1 set of 90mm Halo XB's but could set it up for someone at cost for the parts.

Will be at the show with Kelly Saturday, don't know if we could do any of this stuff there or not.

Joe

ddvette9 01-31-2013 10:58 AM

Nut n much you have a pump for my fluids? I just moved back to Tampa and have NO tools and need to bleed brakes badddd!! And I would be interested in headlights also, my car is heavily modded and i still haven't done headlights yet. But changing fluids is needed ASAP lets set something up soon!!!!

The pump is for Radiator, Power Steering, Oil etc... Not for brakes, but could put something together with some clear hose and a soda bottle.. Would still need to pump brakes, with some one on the nipples.:tup: Haa.. Didn't sound right but you you know what I mean.

I'll be at the show Saturday, if you want to meet us there, we can do it in the lot if you need it that bad!

cptspeed 01-31-2013 01:04 PM

I have a brake bleeder

cptspeed 01-31-2013 01:06 PM

Jeeps are cool. Especially when you have two!

Mr&Mrs 01-31-2013 02:05 PM

Both of ours are 3 years old and still strong. We use tenders I expect 6-7 year life on a tender but we will see. Note: bothe of the cars are garage queens so they do not get started much.

Mr&Mrs 01-31-2013 02:09 PM

Anyone local interested in a 3" F.I exhaust let me know I will let it go at a good price because it needs a little fab work to refit the factory rear bumper. (I have a guy for that as well) My Zele exhaust should be shipping to me tomorrow or early next week according to Bulletproof.

I do not have room for this and do not really want to ship it so let me know!

Nut_N_Much 01-31-2013 02:12 PM

Kelly wants it, look at his page, He Wants It All !!!:happydance:

Zoren 370 01-31-2013 04:24 PM

Joe would the fluid pump able to drain all the oil inside the Oil cooler?

Nut_N_Much 01-31-2013 04:34 PM

No, but we drain the oil, and pull the cooler if you want. :tiphat: Why do you want to drain it? Not a lot of oil is left in it during an oil change. But if you want to pull it and flush it out we can..

yeah you can do that, I only fully flush mine about once a year (every 4th change. ) that is really all that is needed.

:tiphat: Congrats on your car show win brother.. You will be a Florida legend soon..

Zoren 370 01-31-2013 05:09 PM

Oh ok I just thought the oil left in the cooler needs to be drained as well.
Im fine without flashing it if it's not gonna be an issue.:tup:

I am toying of the idea of putting some aftermarket headers on the Z. Would it still give the Z a little more Hp and noise? Do you still have the OEM headers on Sophie or you upgraded already?

After watching Rolex 24 live in Daytona...the Z all of a sudden sounds so quiet to my ears!!! :tiphat:
