What did you do with your Z today

BeemaaZ · 10-17-2011, 12:15 PM

Washed, clayed & waxed. Found puddle of water on the left (driver side) wiper. Anyone noticed this on their cars?

Took a nice mountain drive on Talihina Scenic Hwy in SE OK - SW AR. Great drive except for all the slow old farts on motorcycles. Hmm, maybe I'm an old fart too - just faster.

HHMMM...I certainly did not do that route slow on my motorcycle. I must say there was a pretty bad Harley accident though. They were probably going too slow for the turn....

A few of the older Harley guys were enjoying the scenery for sure. Several times I ran up on them during hairpin curves and had to check up. I really didn't expect to catch any motorcycles on that route.

My new alignment specs. Man this cars handles so much better. The turn in so wonderful. Ten times better than my last alignment. First alignment I've had where the settings are the same from side to side. This was done with myself in the car.

Front
-2.3
.03in

Rear
-1.8
.02in

Looks great Spohn! +rep for functional wing, and for using said functional wing on the track!

you will love those settings even more when you push hard. they are great for the car.

I felt like driving every where today. The steering input is great

depends on what tracks you run, you may consider setting no toe up front, or even positive toe to get even better turn in. the z responds really well to positive toe.

LunaZ · 10-17-2011, 09:29 PM

Drove to NJ and back without incident for a change.

I didn't want to go that route for in the straights or interstate driving the toe would be even more postive.

fair nuff. I do recommend trying it at least once at some point.

The instability associated with 0 toe is not really present with the z, partly due to good suspension geometry, and partially due to the fat tires we run.
