A bit of updates on the Z. Stock suspension allows virtually no adjustability which sucks, so a few weeks ago I installed adjustable rear camber arms and adjustable rear toe arms. I first did only camber arms, but they were heavily closing the toe, so it was necessary to add those as well.
Sorry for very dirty pics...
This allows me to set alignment a bit more than what stock allows, so right now the rear is set at:
Rear:
Camber -1°20'
Toe 0°02'
The front comes in at
Camber -2°
Toe 0°00'
This alignment seems very good to me, perhaps I'll close the rear toe just a bit more to about 0°04'. But I'll do this next season.
This season was full of great adventures, driving, we did quite a bit of mileage in the Z, about 7000km in total (~4500miles). Most of the mileage (almost 2000 miles) was spent on the trip to the Nürburgring, which I'll repeat in a few years for sure. Otherwise there were several trips to the local tracks, including Grobnik (the track in Croatia) during rain, which proved an awesome challenge to practice driving with all electronics switched off. The tires are completely busted, which is funny, as I put on a complete new set in the beginning of this season...but that's what they're for.
So today I gave the car a thorough wash and concluded the season
This winter's plans are quite humble, as the car is almost completely done in the way I wanted it to be. Plans are:
1. change oil and fluids
2. install a servo oil cooler
3. install brake cooling ducts
4. replace the final drive gear with a shorter one (3.69 out, 4.08 in)
