It's been too hot to do much with the Z but finally gave in and had a GTHaus Meisterschaft cat-back system installed today, did Z1 intake tubes, put in rear LED turn signals with resistors as well as installed SPC camber kits. I had a pile of parts waiting to go into the car! I was going to set up an appointment to have the tune updated for the exhaust but I am not so sure I can handle how insane it is! I have been reading threads to see if anyone had done just the axle back kit with better results but no dice. There may be a Meisterschaft kit for sale soon!

Painting roll cage
So i finally decided that i needed to repaint my roll cage. I pulled off the trunk pieces to look at the welds and inspect the area and found some rust at the welds which had me concerned. Really i was lazy when it went in and decided to be cheap so i just used the good o'l rattle can.
Anyways, after a trip to OBI (German Home Depot) with my German friend to translate what was what, i found a good metal primer and a solid gloss white that's intended for kitchen appliances and such. On top of that i used some TCP global Metal Etch since i had heard some great things about it. Long story short...i stripped the bars back down and then used a 50grit sand paper to lightly scuff them...then used the etch. After that primer...and then the coats of white. As it stands now the second coat of white is drying and ill probably have to use a third to get it as thick as i want for protection. We are having a bit of a cold front here in Germany...temps dropped back to the 50s, so my solution to get it to dry faster is to turn the car on and crank the heat to 90 and let it run for 5-10min then turn it off and leave the car for an hour or so closed up. After that i repeat the process....again and again lol.

Ordered a new set of tires finally. My other ones aren't worn out.......they just sucked lol. At least for my driving style but they have great wear! Decided to go with a 275/35/18 and a 295/35/18 on the BFGoodrich Rivals. Rears are to be released on the 20th though so I still need to wait a few weeks.

Serious balls to do that. I don't think I'd be brave enough. On the plus side, it can't be any worse than Nissan's paint.
We did a MAZOC vineyard tour and had a bunch of fun. The only downside was that I had to be the designated driver

It peels right off! If I dont like it in 2 weeks I will do another color. I did 3 cans of light blue and about a 1/3 of a can of black.
