Realized it was probably time for a journal update!

Got the KWV3's installed and had a corner balance done a while back. The rear is very slightly lower than before, front is at the same height (As it was with the swift/Koni combo). Also, I removed the rear GTSPEC 2-point brace as it seemed to be interfering with getting the toe within spec.

Had the Z Dyno tuned by Specialty Z, they flew up here and tuned a bunch of Z's over a couple days at a local shop (Horsepower Solutions).
Dyno Sheet:


#'s aren't too high considering what people have achieved with the same mods on other Dyno's, but it's impossible to compare one Dyno to another. Important thing, car feels WAY better to drive now, like a whole new beast.

I finally got around to installing the JL 13TW5 with the WickedCAS stealthbox. Went with a JL XD600/1 amp and the Audiocontrol LC2i LOC. Eventually I'd like to replace the speakers with Focals, the amp with the HD900/5 to power it all, and use the JBL MS8 for LOC. That's likely a long way down the road now though, I just got engaged so Z funds have been redirected for a while haha.


Another small mod, was getting tired of the PWJDM SS Shift Knob, wanted to go back to the stock one, but after sitting in the ZL1 at the last auto show, I'm obsessed with touching Alcantara lol. So I sent my stock shifter to Carbon Fiber Element to get wrapped in Alcantara and some CF accents:


Gotta get the steering wheel done next!

That's it for now, I'm gonna play with a new way of mounting the lap belts for my harnesses soon to make it easier to adjust, will update after that.
