Up-date on my oil catch cans. Have a little over 6,000 miles on them since the install. I pulled them apart today. Measured the amount of oil in each can. The left can had about 3/4 oz of oil in it. The right can had about 1/4 oz of oil in it. I don't think that's bad at all.

My cans have dip sticks in them. So I measured how much oil it would take to read on the dip sticks. It would take 1.5 oz to just hit the stick. And 2 oz of oil it get to the first line. That leaves me a lot of room.

I just had my drivers side dipstick read with a little on the stick. I let it idle and warm up before I moved it to be washed and then to get it in the trailer. I normally get it up to temp via driving it a good ways. I guess the idling in the cold caused some condensation issues.

When your 1st motor let go. I was wondering if anything got into your catch cans.

I didn't have any catch cans on the first motor. Slipped my mind. I never just let the car idle. I always crank up and go.
I guess I have been doing it right for years.

Yeah, Jay gave me the evil eye about it Friday. I knew I needed to fix it. I have been procrastinating. LOL Seb is hooking me up with 2 plugs for the intake manifold where the PVC's would normally run too. I got the new fittings for the PVC delete ordered. I just need to upgrade to 10AN lines. I may be ordering stuff from Pegasus to get this done. We shall see.

Hey Russ, what are the full plans for the Z this winter? Still thinking about a clutch kit?

Just going to do maintenance this winter. Might do one or two things yet. The 4th gauge and a top hat for the fuel tank.

Plus I'm waiting on my custom valved King shocks for my truck. That's over 4 grand. And I just spent 7 grand for a rifle and scope. Think I spent enough for a while. :icon14:

Really, that is all? Your a$$ is so tight you could have all the money you need just by shoving coal up your butt and making diamonds! LMAO

You buy my motorhome and I will do a FI build.

If I had the money to buy your motor home I would buy a Lamborghini and live in a cardboard box!

Dang Rusty, that thing is a anchor around your neck. WTF!!!

Yep!

Epic thread! Epic car! I need still to read through all the installation threads now but wow! Also that motorhome is intense!

Thank you. :tiphat:

Rusty, I was looking at the angle of your splitter. It looks like it's angled up in the front.

Yea, it's up a hair. I have to readjust it. That means that there will be a big gap in the front. :icon14:

I heard back from the company that makes the splitter I was looking at. They verified that their's is angled up also. They followed the conture of the existing diffuser. I thought about taking the diffuser off like you did and then installing their splitter but like you mentioned, the gap :confused:

That gap is a killer. I'm only up a few degrees. I can't raise the rear of the splitter up because of the way it is mounted. I have to lower the front and find something to fill the gap.

Yep, once you take the diffuser off, you have to deal with the gap and if you keep the diffuser on then you have to try to find a way to angle it down in front which would be some kind of angled filler but then the splitter would be scraping all the time because it would be lower in the front. :icon14:

Just measured the angle of the splitter. It's 1.5 degrees up in the front. Which ain't much. I might be able to adjust that down with the rods. On the brakes, it would be pointed down a lot. :driving:

That's not bad at all. If you had the oem diffuser on there, it would be a lot more than 1.5 degrees. I'm trying to get the company that makes the splitter that I'm interested in to make there's work with the oem diffuser removed and form it to fill the gap in the center of the bumper. It wouldn't be that difficult to make a die they could put in a press to form it. I see that they've done it on other splitters but they don't seem to keen on the idea. :mad:

My new custom valved King shocks for the Z came in finally. :tup: Can't wait to install them. It's going to take some fabbing to do it tho.

You going 4x4!!!

Moved the 12 volt plug out from under the dash, and mounted it on the plastic tranny cover. Got tired of the wifey kicking it and the plug falling out. :shakes head:

Now her knee will knock it out :rofl2:

Nah......it's going to eat her shin up. :rofl2:

"Tranny Cover"... :ugh2:

Waiting on my VIN number for my new vehicle. Once I get it. I know it's being built. :D

Wait…..whoa…..what?????
