Yeah....mine runs and performs better in cooler weather. But that's expected since the air is densor. My S/C 4Runner runs very sluggish in the summer.

As far as the Z, since adding the oil cooler, my temps are around 205-210 at their highest with water temps below half. Z responds much better with the cooler oil temps. Plus, with adding a larger filter, it gave me more capacity.

That's my oil temps in Massachusetts when it's 80's - 90's. This is in stop and go traffic though. Once I start driving it decreases to 190-200.

I'm always cruising at about 218-222, whether it's 118 or 85 out.

Are the Pavs still on? Got poured on last night and it looks like there's a chance of rain tonight too...

I'm in unless it does rain....

Haboob · 07-27-2013, 12:49 PM

The forecast says spotty showers, and I know that side of town gets more rain than the rest.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

pfdaxe · 07-29-2013, 10:37 AM

Good to see a few of you on Saturday. I try to make it out there every once in awhile. Z is up on jax again...changing exhaust.......again

Haboob · 07-29-2013, 10:39 AM

It was a lot busier than I've seen previously, which is nice.

Maybe next time I'll try to get there even earlier and park where everyone else does. I def. wasn't going to move it once it was parked, lol. I was so hot that if I got in my car I was just going to go home or sit in there w/the AC.

NickTurnon · 07-29-2013, 01:23 PM

Bartlett Lake Cruise - There were a few other cars. Not Z's though.

Hello AZ,

Check out http://www.the370z.com/groups/arizona-zs.html

It's kind of hidden here, but this may be an easier way to have the AZZ's keep in touch rather then using the West Region forum and burying information in a single post with 85+ pages....

Out own little subforum

Whatcha think?

Love to see a pic of that Prostreet Mustang!

AWIZRD · 08-11-2013, 02:01 AM

Still have a few steps left, and now that the Z has bitten, Frankenstang has taken a back seat

olddudesrule · 08-15-2013, 10:31 AM

Awesome looking coupe! My son and I took on a 68 coupe as a project car years ago. Just a shell, and not a great one at that. It was my first experience with Ford, and god damn, it was a tough job. Unlike Chevy, Ford seems to change a ton of stuff (mechanically) every year. I'd buy parts that were from a 67, and they wouldn't be close to fitting. Anyway, love your car. Don't see too many Prostreet cars anymore.

Haboob · 08-16-2013, 10:10 AM

So I spotted a couple of Z's on Wed. Gun Metal 09-12 Sport on the 10 E at 83rd Ave around 5:50a, then another Gun Metal '13 Sport in front of the ballpark on Jefferson St. around 11:45ish.

Any of you? Or do you know them?

Haboob · 08-19-2013, 12:51 PM

Nick, was that your silver 370 at the Pavs Saturday?

Also saw a '13 Magma red base+sport out there, but no one standing near it to see whom it belonged to.

We didn't have our cars Sat, for fear of the rain (which it didn't on that side of town).
