The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII

Hotrodz · 05-26-2019, 12:09 PM

Spent yesterday at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway with my brother. It was perfect weather with a high 88. Eagle and Steven Dougherty were there. It was great see them and spend some time with them. I knocked a couple of seconds off my personal best with the Miata.

Spending the rest of the weekend with my brother here in Chandler. We will spend the day watching the Monaco F1 and Indianapolis 500 races. Smoke ribs and chicken for dinner and lots of adult beverages.

Took my uncle for a ride in the Z. A mean sounding charger pulled out of gas station after us. I shifted into third I opened her up for a second aaaaaand she fell on her *** sputtering and shaking. Pulled over and charger revs as he goes by.
Intake pipe came loose somehow. I went back and checked and all the clamps need to be retightened. I think a few heat cycles may have loosened em up a bit. Gives me something gnto do today, beside changing my underwear lol. Thought my motor had popped.

JC texted me “BS” as I was stuck on side of road

Well I'm sorry to tell you, your life's mission is to find that Charger and beat it in a race. You've brought great dishonor upon the Z community and must redeem yourself.

PS: Bermuda is really nice. No Z cars here though.

Did you hairspray your silicone hose before you clamped them down?

jchammond · 05-26-2019, 05:18 PM

Heat is dialed up down this way

Hit the intake piping with hairspray before you slide the coupler on. Once it heats up once it’s pretty much stuck. Have to run a screw driver or something around it to break the seal later.

That trick works with my KTM's grips too... but I use spray paint as an alternative.

Wifey and me took the Z out for a nice mountain ride today too. We just got back. Went up to the Yough Dam, then into Ohio Pyle State Park. They repaved RT 381 coming out of the state park to RT 40.

I'm going to have to hit that during the week.

Seen 6 GT-R's at Ohio Pyle. Wonder if FPenis was one of them.

On the way home. We stopped at the Stone Inn. Had some great BBQ for dinner.

I've done that a hundred time with the hair spray.

Then tie them down with safety wire.
