Boost_Lee's 09 Monterrey Blue Z

Beautiful Z; definitely one of my favorites here.

thanks all! I haven't moved forward with flex fuel yet, running on ECUTEK isn't as bad since you can switch maps on the fly.

Now I'm contemplating on stepping down to an 18" wheel to get some beefier tires...

I just went through your entire thread, and read just about every update you went through. Keep it up man! I have some ideas in my head for my MB, but I have to find the money for them first lol.

How are you liking the Specialty Z clutch kit? Im between that and the Southbend setup. Either way, I won't be going with any kit that involves the Z1 CSC Elimination kit after what my friend is going through with his currently and for the last 10 months.

Thanks for the kind words

I love the specialty Z clutch. The tilton race csc adds peace of mind and when paired with the RJM pedal, it feels like a normal car

No big updates - just performed some overdue maintenance on the car. Changed the oil, K&N air filters, and addressed an 02 sensor issue.

I had been throwing misfire and 02 sensor codes for a long time now and we thought I had an oil leak on the passenger side near the turbo. There would be a puff of smoke from the passenger side engine bay when the car would hit boost. I ordered a replacement Denso 02 sensor and upon further inspection, I found a very large exhaust leak between the 02 housing and downpipe/testpipe.

I replaced the sensor since I didn't want to chance redoing the work later on. I also purchased some Z1 MLS gaskets for both ends of the downpipe/testpipe.

Hopefully this will solve the issues.

Some things that might help ya.

P2A00 - A/F Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (bank 1 sensor 1)

I also get a random cylinder misfire during the winter on cold starts. Going to check plugs again too.

Crossing fingers still but after clearing the code, a few spirited drives, and a trip to COTA, the code has not returned. So far so good

Side note....I'm contemplating on getting a new daily driver, so maybe the Z will stay in my possession for a little longer. Kind of tough to get a car with similar power levels at a good price point. We'll see what happens

Crap quality, but a little closed-course Mexico fun with a h/c/i/p CTS-V wagon

Thank you very much!

As for the car, she needs some new front tires, camber arms, and an alignment. I'd like some more comfortable seats also, guess I'm getting old
