Not only have I done nothing with my Z today, I've done almost nothing with myself and it's freakin' awesome!
I'm just now having some Doritos and a Hopslam for breakfast/lunch/dinner after taking one of those showers where I let the hot water run over my body but didn't actually wash anything.
Ahhh... day off.

Sorry, I don't have the mechanical experience to answer that.

I'm thinking about buying a Miata!

As a daily driver.

At least it has sturdy doors.

any thoughts on its affect on the calibration in that time period?

mr.jar- yah, its spring loaded so it will probably give you false readings now.
Try testing it with another wrench to see how far off it is.

I have redundant torque wrenches so I can compare one another. SnapOn does recalberation on mine.

Straight out of camera other than lens correction and resizing.

Awesome

The one I have is a Craftsman, so I'll probably just try to take it back to Sears and replace it. I've got a buddy with one I can borrow if I need one soon

JARblue · 02-18-2013, 07:18 PM

Z got a wash, clay, and wax this afternoon. I even attacked some scratches by hand - they didn't come out completely but definitely look better. I think I can get them out completely with proper materials. I only used a polishing pad and Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, so I will use a compound pad and the rubbing compound first next time before following up with the polishing compound using a polishing pad (maybe borrow a friend's random orbital, too).

the cheezo wheels and black lugs (came free with wheels) im using as winter set is holding up real well to salt, considering the last time i was able to wash was during xmas break.

the air is already starting to smell like Spring...even though it's going to be kinda cold again tomorrow.

hi kenchan!!!

Well I think I'll take a couple of weekends off first.

good plan-
