What did you do with your Z today

SPOHN · 10-03-2011, 05:43 PM

Raised my car up 1/4''. Now have to set up an alignment. Going for more camber for track use.

Was that corner balanced? The shop doesn't offer alignment?

I raised it up myself. Going to have all that done when I get some time.

Not sure. It's the shop Mike uses. Mostly you tell them what purpose you use the car for and they set it up. Great shop to my understanding. But I'm really only looking for about 2.1 all around.

Also bought these yesterday. Got a super deal on them. These are Stillen. Front only. Going to wait till my other rotors wear before I use these. About to pick up some Carbotech XP 8's. I'm trying to stock on brake parts so I'm also ready to go at the track.

Drove to Saddle Brook, NJ to do a presentation and got talked into driving into the city for dinner because some colleagues from L.A., Dallas and London were in town.
A lowered Z does not like NYC's battlefield style pavement. I'm actually quite good at driving in the city, but in the Z I hated every minute of it. It's hard to move at the same pace as everyone else when you're busy tip-toeing around potholes and crawling over bumps that threaten to rip parts off the car.

Here's a quick and dirty shot with my point and shoot. No tripod, so it's a little blurry. I still think it came out pretty cool, though:

Yah, that looks good Eric! What was the delay on your shutter? Question: how'd you get talked into driving hats might have been the only two seated in the group? LOL

Just a Sony DSC-W55 set on Nighttime. I'm guessing it was probably a full second exposure without looking at the EXIF.

Everyone else that was in the city flew in earlier in the week, so they're on foot or in cabs. I drove to Brooklyn to pick up another colleague, then down to the Lower East Side where I found a municipal garage where I was able to score a spot next to a pillar that allowed me to pull in diagonally and gain some extra door swingin' room.
That shot is at the TIGI Academy in Soho, at the corner of Broome and Greene Streets, about three blocks from the Holland Tunnel.

Decided to drown myself in carbon fiber. Received both my roll of Di-Noc and my Carid CF dash kit. Between the two of them, I hope to cover the center stack of nav, radio and HVAC controls using the dash kit for templates.

I also broke down and ordered the matte finish CF shifter ring, tach and door switch covers from A.J. at CarbonSignal. After looking at the Di-Noc, I realized there was no way I could ever do the shifter ring.

Besides my center stack project, I'll wrap my B pillars, rear valance, and hopefully have enough left to wrap some pieces on some other guy's cars.

Now it's off to Michael's to pick-up a dye pen to dye my interior stitching red.

It should be an interesting couple of weeks.
