What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

JARblue · 07-22-2017, 09:28 PM

I put 5 gallons of premium in the Z and she fired right up

I filled up completely and calculated that there was over 7 gallons of fuel in the tank when starvation occurred. Went ahead and topped off the low clutch fluid as well.

As punishment for my idiocy, I installed the brand new Fast Intentions non-resonated carbon fiber exhaust that's been sitting in my garage since last October

Finished cleaning it and polishing it. Bare paint, no wax or sealants.

I'm running the dash speakers and door speakers in a true 2-way active setup along with time alignment. It makes the stock non-Bose speakers sound pretty darn good... Considering. In fact, it sounds better than my brother's Sport Bose system.

I actually like that unit.

Pioneer's true 7" screen double dins are really nice. USB is located on the back

That looks outstanding! Nice work

Thank you! And that's using the stock dash bezel. When using these double din units, there's really no need to use the aftermarket bezels.

My car didn't come with a center console usb

I'm using android auto anyway so I have my usb-c connection running into the arm rest

Ignore my last post

By the way, it looks good. Double din install in my z was one of the easiest I've done (not that I've done a lot).

Changed to red line my-85 for the tranny. Sprayed some rust converter on the undercarriage. Has anyone used pennzoil synchromesh or combined it with other fluids? Just curious since it says it's safe for yellow metals.

I am running the same setup as you, thought with a lower end pioneer headunit (avh-3800bhs). Base speakers actually sound pretty good to me, I plan to keep them =)

Make sure you remove the on-board crossover from the factory dash speakers! just a capacitor - desolder and short.

I plan to buy some generic USB mounts (you can get cigarette lighter style ones) and install in my center console so I have ports for my headunits USB/Aux ports, and also for the USB update ports for my AL Priority and ASWC-1. Will be nice to use/update/configure without having to pull any panels.
