What did you do with your Z today

Gave my car a good wash and vacuumed the inside as well. Going out to the drag strip later this evening.

I just keep thinking "Can't be worse than last time." Last time my best time was abysmal. But with temps that are supposed to be ranging in the mid to upper 60s and really low humidity, it should make for a happy engine.

Camera and bypass kit on monday, tommy kaira shift nob also (that I had in my g35 coupe).

Re-financed my car through a credit union, got the rate down to 1.74% (and actually made 200 bux).

tomorrow i'm going to pick up these JDM headlights i ordered for my 98 subaru legacy, pretty obsessed with cleaning up that car as well.

Drove back home to run some errands and do some clothes shopping, was able to wash the Z since the Santa Ana winds earlier in the week matched with rain last night made for a horrifically dirty Z (by my standards haha).

Looking for shift knobs at the moment.

Went to the strip, Drag strip that is! Tonight was vastly improved over last time. My best time before tonight was an 18.3 or so. Tonight's first run was a 15.23 I went with another 370 and a NISMO 350. Myself and the other 370 were neck and neck. I managed to beat the NISMO by a little. My times were averaging around 15.4-15.7. Unfortunately no time slips cause there printer was messed up, but i did get a few runs on my GoPro Gotta see how well it turned out. Anywho I'm pretty happy, essentially improved by 3 seconds over my first night out.

skeeter- there you go! (et)

motored my Z this am and only had to clean the glass. no bugs. will do another round tomorrow, fill her up, and a full QD wipe down.

going to swap out my G's SSR's to stock wheels with snow tires later today. i dont want salt/icemelt thing they spray on the road to get into the slight pits i have in the polished lip's clearcoat from regular use. otherwise the crap corrodes the lip and spreads under the clear coat.

Thanks guys, g/l on spring install and likewise on winter wheel swap. Weather makes living on the east coast suck during the winter. I would go crazy having to garage it for 4 months. The good out weigh the bad thou, gotta lub the fall colors, great photo snap days.


No Z action today, installed the valve stem caps, driving around with a dirty car.
