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

abm89 · 04-13-2019, 08:09 PM

Got corner balanced. It was way out of whack but now it's setup nicely. i'll need to re-learn the car now:

Also found this full track build at the shop. I don't know if the owner is on here:

(Gthaus full cat back, no resonators, with motordyne ART test pipes)

Lucky... I have Berk HFCs and FI non-res catback; after I did the trunk the exhaust was even louder than before - like I'd built a sound box and the only exit for the drone was towards my ears. Ended up swapping out the non-res section for 18" resonated I bought off a member here, and can happily report that while drone still exists at highway speeds, it no longer makes me want to suck-start my Glock.

Installed some Z1 intakes over the weekend, went fairly well. Definitely noticed a sound and response difference when driving.

Changed the engine and diff oil on my mom's 7AT.

I forgot how quick those damn things were.

After a 6 month hibernation, was finally able to get her on the road Saturday...if only for a few miles. Always forget how much I miss driving the Z after a long winter.

Thanks!

They feel awesome. It handled great with the Swifts, but there really is a night and day difference. Although, I've got to figure out a solution because the front tires are rubbing on the fender liner tabs upon compression. I definitely don't want to raise them, even a little. I think I remember seeing a thread on how to relocate the tabs, so I'll find that and give it a shot.

Can't wait to really try them out next month.
