What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

JARblue · 12-23-2012, 06:03 PM

Last night, I started working on a custom Z fog light using a 48 LED panel inside the dummy lens and housing. Finished it up today, and I am quite please with the results. I painted the inside of the housing white for some additional reflection. It is currently wired up to come on with the parking lights, though I have more complicated future plans such as override switch in the center console, flashing reverse, etc..

Siliconed the crap out of every rubber seal on the car.

I'm just about to move my Z from the Bay area to Denver (January 20th or so)

Soooo....
how to mod?
1. PSS a/t I think to help with cooler grip. (no brainer)
2. rock bra (vinyl) to Keep the winter gravel off my hood. (Also a no brainer)

Here is my question:

-I live at 9000 feet,
-I work at 5500 feet (Denver Airport)
-My car was last upreved at sea level (San Jose California after a bunch of bolt-ons)

Do I need a re-tune (maybe add a high-altitude, cool air map for Colorado driving)?????

It seems like a good idea, but I don't really know much about that stuff.

Help from any of you tuning gurus would be awesome!!!!

thinking of ordering some blacked out emblems and license plate frames with red 370z lettering.

I went to San Francisco yesterday, it was really busy tons of traffic. I drive a manual car so it was intense, also the hills where a little of a challenge but nothing i couldn't handle. Fun drive in San Francisco.

I know I know! I'm so jealous. Maybe we can hook up for a little cruise sometime.

Now that I'm moving to Colorado, I'm thinking of a mild supercharger. (5psi??)

I want a safe engine that pulls at altitude.

My wife has finally stopped bugging me about not asking "permission" to buy a car she hates. (lol) so it's time to stop worrying about a forced sell (spouse induced) and start some real tweaking!!!

Fun.
