Those tires look great Happytheman!

I finally spent some quality time cleaning the Z, about 3.5 hrs...which my wife totally doesn't understand on such a small car according to her lol

Complete wash, vaccum, interior clean, put engine cover back after a few touch ups, so the interor has been brought back to life. Chccked fluids etc

Picked up a little hydro lift so took a nice look under the car, really cleaned my exhaust which one of the neighbours passing by found odd lol. I should be able to finally install my side skirts with this...

I need to do this badly.

Looking forward to the pics when you get the side skirts on.

sounds good! yah, if you really get into it a few hours go by in a flash. this is another reason why i dont feel like dirtying my car on a wet day. the hassle of cleaning the car back to where she was takes too much time and effort.

I read somewhere that claying leaves the paint's surface slightly marred, giving it a somewhat muddled appearance, which requires a proper polishing thereafter. Is this not indeed the case?

Good morning guys, Happy Saturday.

Thanks man, can't wait to get 'em on!

Which jack point did you use your hydro on? I'm assuming One of these?

Actually I used one where the yellow arms are...so the side blades it seems to leave enough working room...however might need to use that rear jack point for more height lol
