What did you do with your Z today

Lunaz- take it to the bumpiest of roads aka railroad crossing and let us know how it differs from stock. Most often spring only setups are okay on smooth surfaces but not at the extremes. May be swift mastered this?

I live in Pennsylvania... even the smoothest interstate is like a railroad crossing.

Used my newly purchased Mity Vac to bleed my brakes this morning.
Where have you been all my life, Mity Vac?!?!? I can't believe I've waited this long to buy one for my garage.
As I suspected, there was some air in my system after swapping out the calipers and lines. All better now.

needed to fix my post cause i was thinking luna bought the MightyVac as in vacuum cleaner. lol

as for mity vac im using the hand pump extractor (vacs liquid from the caliper) and their replenish bottle made for nissans.

i wasn't too fond of the push type where you pressurize the brake fluid reserve.

just got word from the wife that she was able to go downstairs by herself this pm.

huge milestone. (for those that dont know, she suffered back injury on Sat which kept her in bed the last 2 days).

yesterday i took the day off to look after her and taking the kids to summer camp, etc. and she was only barely able to sort of walk clinging to furnishings.

the saddest part for me was that i was driving the FitSport the last 3days. i was so f-king glad i took my G to work today.
