Things I learned taking the Z out for a nighttime test drive:

1. New Craftsquare mirrors are awesome - until you notice that the passenger mirror is slightly off and there's no adjusting it while driving. Then they drive you insane. There's also a lovely whistling noise. Going to take the weather stripping from the stock mirrors and put them on the Craftsquares tomorrow.

3. Bugs are drawn to a freshly detailed car because **** you. #science

4. Tried to log WOT in 3rd/4th and the handbrake and traction indicators lit up. Thar be aiiiiiir in my ABS module.

5. Touchscreen stereos are short bus retarded. I'm getting one with a knob.

6. Hitting an oncoming car with 165 combined watts of 6000k HID Hella goodness will make them either a) turn off their goddamn brights or b) drive off the road in a blind panic (see what I did there?).

7. 34 row oil cooler is STUPID COLD. 70*F ambient at highway speed and couldn't break 174*F oil temp - that's with three Hella FF75s in the bumper mouth limiting airflow.

8. AIT is still at 7*F above ambient even with DEI gold wrap on the Z1 intakes. Maybe the gold will help combat heatsoak. If not, whatever, I still have $$$ golden intakes, b*itches $$$
