It got up to 81 here today. 3 days ago. We had 5" of snow on the ground.

Left the Z at home because was tired and didnt want to deal with the bucket and harnesses.

Now im sad for when i go home because it will be a boring drive.

Well, since it is 77 degrees here in New Jersey...in the middle of February...I installed my lighted kick plates. Might as well enjoy them before the water levels rise and we all drown! I bought my car in December, so I haven't been able to drive it much though. Hopefully there will be no reason to re-salt the roads here again.

Took it out for a spin today...first time I have driven with the top down, lol. This car is so much better for me than the Miata it replaced!

I wish I was able to drive mine today. I need to limp it over to Procom and get the POS CSC replaced soon

How did you know the CSC was failing? What were the symptoms?

Clutch engagement basically at the floor set off alarms for me. I have ZSpeed's CMAK that I'm going to put in

Recently collected some more tools, so I was actually able to do more things than oil change

Took wheels off, car sat on jack stand for a week, installed LED bulbs front and back, cleaned the wheel well and suspension arms, took brake pads out clean + regrease, and installed RB 2 piece rotors (front).

Felt good being more intimate and hands-on with the car.

Feels good having tools. My Z has been up on jack stands since last Sept. You'll like the RB rotors.

Blacked out the front grill area on my 2010 Roadster, installed rear diffuser and spoiler. Then I used red pinstriping tape to add accent color.

anyone have any suggestions on how to keep my CSC functioning long enough to drive it to the shop? It's a 12-mile/20 minute drive
