I'm gonna triple down on that fuel starvation mentioned earlier.

I went to home depot motorsports to look at some plywood for a new splitter design. I may compare prices with some other vendors.

- Motive Power Bleeder and Motul 5.1 for the second 20k mile brake flush

- Redline MT-85 for the transmission fluid change

- Redline 75w-90 for the differential fluid change

Should be fun

I just want you all to know how confused I was earlier when I logged into this thread instead of the "Off Topic" version, and saw all of you actually discussing Z cars instead of EastWest's colon.

Carry on with the good work!

So, what have I done with my Z lately. Have to say I sold it. I am no longer an owner of a 370Z. I enjoyed the car a lot. It was very fun to drive. But, My wife and I are getting older so we decided that we only needed two cars. We kept her car which is a Mazda CX-5. Good for driving in winter here in Iowa. When looking for a replacement, it needed to meet the following requirements: Be able to drive it during the winter, have an auto trans so it is easier for the wife to drive, and also be fun to drive. So, I bought a 2019 KIA Stinger GT to replace the Z. It has lots of room for traveling, can haul 4 adults in comfort, and has plenty of get up and go. It also gets the same gas mileage as the Z. I did get the AWD option so that I can get around better in winter. Do plan on keeping an eye on the forum just to see whats happening.

Default What I did today to the Z

I installed some mood lighting on the passinger and drivers side door panels. Actually just finished the pass side. It was more of a pain in the *** than what I thought it would be,and what the video's on youtube showed! The wiring gave me fits for a while. I connected the black to the black and the red to the white. It worked great but I couldn't get the LED lighting to auto shut off. I had to switch around the wires until I could find the right cobination so they would shut off once the car was turned off. The only issue now is the LED lighting isn't as bright as it should be when its on. Still looks nice though!
I'll tackle the drivers side tomorrow. Should go a lot faster now that I have the wiring sorted out!
I'm getting anxious to start driving the car again now that spring is right around the corner!
