What did you do with your Z today II

martin82 · 02-08-2012, 04:27 AM

just removed my sports wing to get ready to install my Seibon NSM CF wing. I don't have a template, does anyone have one?

happytheman · 02-08-2012, 07:27 AM

Did you reach out to Seibon to see if they could send you one? I'm guessing you picked up the wing from another community member. I'm sure that they would be happy to help!

The last thing they want is one of their wings to look bad!

Thanks guys, I'd say a large part is waiting for the resin to dry, which is overnight, so 2 days right there (did 2 coats before sanding)...small piece so the wet sanding isn't that bad, its what makes the difference though...so patience is key...

I haven't done a perfect piece yet but getting close, I give props to companies churning out CF daily...not easy.

That just looks like a cool side project! You'll be pleased to say you did it when it's all said and done!

I was a good boy and did not pass a BMW, who earlier was drifting through turns. Turns out a hidden cop was waiting for my maneuver.

huh cool, keep us posted if those wipe the entire width of the blade on our glass.

i bought some piaa or bosch or something on my G as winter blades and it doesnt quite wipe the very bottom edge on the passenger side. not a huge deal, but a little bummed (but was expected of aftermarket blades).

thegreatone- that looks great.

yah, reminds of my Ings+ CF splitter. it came in with ragged edges and basically raw resin over CF. i had to wetsand quite a bit before clearcoating.

yah, so last night i had to PDR my digital piano. lol

i found a small dent (not sure from where) but took the thing apart completely and used my knockdown tool from the back to push out. looks perfect.

i was almost thinking about taking off the side pieces to be CF wrapped. lol

Just to satisfy my need for posting, here is one from me. I guess I cannot go even a day.

I had to drive to Menlo Park and deliver a proof of concept thing for 5 hours today. Travel plus onsite = 12 hours. My favorite kind of work day.

Haha, thanks for thinking of me!

Ugh, dealing with stuff around the house tonight...typical joys of owning instead of renting.

not only that, I made dinner too!

Getting more quotes for paint/prep/hang of my Evo-R diffuser today. Looks like I'm going with the third out of four places. They don't need the car but for a couple of hours and the price/ guarantee is right. In addition to that, they're right down the street from work...so I can drop it and come back in the two hour's time that they need!

Will do, I'll be popping them on tomorrow and will let you know how it goes.

I went and had a clear bra installed on the nose of the Z this morning, before the fresh (and cured) paint gets all chewed up! First time I've had this done, but looks like they did a nice job!

happytheman · 02-08-2012, 10:35 PM

Nice! A lot of the community members swear by it!

Knio · 02-09-2012, 01:58 AM

I got my car back last night. I have traction again, woo! new RE-11's are amazing after the 050s with no tread, lol.

The intakes sound very nice.. but I can't feel a difference in power. Oh well.

Sway bars and oil cooler will be tested on the track. I leave for Laguna Seca tomorrow, I'll try to post pics and videos after the weekend
