What did you do with your Z today

Thanks boostlee.

Went on an awesome cruise with the mid-A gang through some fun twisty roads. Then I ran 12's at the drag strip. Today was all about driving my Z, and I drove it 200+ miles today all together.

TheGreatOne · 03-12-2011, 07:40 PM

I drove my Z illegally today lol.

Have to wait till the 15th because of the winter tire law. Roads were clear of snow today so I said "F" it and risked the $380 ticket lol. Heck i've only driven it home from the dealer.

Went to get gas, took it around the block, kept an eye out for the fuzz.

I have to say, not that I needed reassurance but the looks, thumbs up and the grin it gave me when I accelerated and the back got loose, solidified that I made a great decision getting this car

I do have to say, there was quite a bit of gravel, and OMG, I heard every bit of it hitting the undercarriage...that road noise thing wasn't an exaggerated

Went and bought a small sheet of metal and velcro for my oil cooler to fabricate a block off plate. Course the weather is starting to warm quickly. Might not need it, but it will be done.

Lou @ amplified Motorsports lowered the Z on some H&Rs and threw some 15mm spacers on all 4 corners.

i tore my car the hell apart today

Fire · 03-14-2011, 08:16 AM

Actually was yesterday and Sat. I recieved my Eibach pro alignment kit Friday and sent my car to the shop. Previously I had Eibach springs, stillen sways and H&R 20mm spacer installed. Ofcourse they said that they could not get the alignment within specs. So Sat. I jump started my 2003 Mitsu Eclipse backed it out of the garage then jump started the Z and took it down to the shop. Sun. they called and said the the rear camber arms didn't fit. They had the toe bolts in but removed the wrong arm, easy fix and they went on to get it aligned. As set within factory specs now. Drove like a champ, just couldn't jump on it too hard with a slight amount of snow and ofcourse the top stayed up.

kenchan · 03-14-2011, 05:37 PM

spooln- looks great!

for me i only looked at my Z this am before pulling out my G to go to work.

going to be lowering the psi later this week for both cars as the temps are starting to steadily climb.

CrownR426 · 03-14-2011, 05:45 PM

^Yes +1 on lowering psi weather's getting better here this week as well!
Went for a nice cruise and man are my tires poop.

It was nice meeting you, and the car looks very sexy dropped

Had an unbelievably long run without interference. This is such a great car design. Actually got the oil temp up to 220. First time I've seen it that high since I put in the oil cooler. Still works for me though.
