What did you do with your Z today

It got rained on with the cover on,,, then I noticed it is wet underneath? I think peeling the cover off when it was frozen to my car this winter

started her up just to listen to that exhaust again... then backed her out to the driveway, washed and dried her... then got carried away, spot clayed her, then waxed her with Dodo Juice Supernatural....

probably want to remove that cover now and wash the car when you get a chance. if you leave wet covers on it can mold, leave behind stains and clouds on the paint...worst case when sun beats on it the material will transfer onto the paint.

Yea, even though my car is garaged at night, when I take it into work and park there it is unprotected from the elements and within those 8-10 hours of being out of the garage a film has already formed.

did you get adjustable endlinks? if not your swaybar can work against you.
also if you want to really do it right (not just for looks) take the car in to a speedshop to get it corner balanced.

yah, first you need to unlink the swaybar both front and rear, adjust height by corner balance, then adjust the endlink length so that there is no torsion pre-load from the swaybars.
