What did you do with your Z today

ocfoilist · 11-07-2011, 12:08 AM

Wash, clay bar, compound, swirl remover, polish and wax today. Six hours later and it's time for a glass of wine! But the Z looks better than the day I picked it up. I was reading the freeway signs upside down on the hood as I was driving home.

Washed it this afternoon, then went for a cruise with the local Z club. Had a great day

I just bought a leather restorer called " leather food" I will report back my results after I receive it.

Caused an accident lol

I'm so mad that my blackberry was in the hatch in my bag or I would have taken pics

Some guy on a bike was riding by as I paked my car. I'm usually pretty aware of people checking out the Z...and he had a full on lock stare going on...he totally ran into a pedestrian lol.

I only laugh cause no one was hurt...the guy dusted himself off but wasn't too happy with the biker...good times lol.

Good morning, everyone.

Today, I drove the 370 to my office to get a feel for my Swift springs. I drive against commute so I was able to test out some quick lane changes and off ramp action. Of course I stayed below all posted speed limits and always used my turn signals.

Although a bit of a lame test, being commuting and all, I can report the following.

1. Ride quality is a bit bumpier, but that could be my imagination.
2. Turn-in is much more sharp and crisp
3. Lane changes and off-ramp driving are much flatter.

More later...

Have an excellent day.

It is a lot quieter than I was bracing myself for. I didn't have time to install the HFCs, so that may be why it is quieter.
I will try to find some time to get pictures. Hard to do with a 6 month old.

sounds good, mr.onzedge!

is there any undulation?

no z action for me today. drove the G with factory wheels and snow tires on. feels soft and squirm is very noticable.

but i suppose for a dd the softer ride is welcome. just feels more like an ordinary sports coupe now.

visually no one at the office mentioned i got different wheels on so i suppose it looks ok. lol

My Stillen cat back didnt sound as loud as I thought it would at all. Thats what made me get test pipes as fast as I could. They REALLY opened the exhaust sound up.

Mr. Kenchan -- no undulation at all so far.

It bums me out when I make a change to my Z'z and no-one notices.
