just curious, but did you happen to switch over to SS brake lines at the same time you switched over to the ATE blue? if so how much of a difference did you notice between the stock lines and the SS lines?

I did StopTech slotted rotors, Hawk HPS pads, SS lines and fluid all at once. It makes a huge difference. Get yourself a good vacuum bleeder -- it makes the job much easier and makes for a more complete bleed.

Just finished preliminary wash before upcoming wash and wax.

Strangler · 09-02-2012, 11:32 PM

I removed swirls on my car and also buffed and waxed it. It was a 7ish hour of back breaking work. I'm in pain now. I also took a picture, but since I'm not a very good photographer it didn't turn out very well. The car looks much nicer in person or when I'm able to level up my photography skills.

^^ Looks good to me

Drove the Z hard today, then I got her squeaky clean for this coming week. (HFCs to come)

Not really even sure when they took this but it's a good shot. 3 step adams deswirl, polish, buttery wax, glaze and a california duster once I got there.

(then it started raining)

Zenki370 · 09-03-2012, 02:22 AM

I havent really driven the Z much as my daily driver has been putting in work. But I was off today so I gave the Z a nice drive. So nice going from a 98 civic to a 370 back to back lol

Good day y'all. Today, I re-installed the lip I bought a couple of weeks ago (placed metal plates on the bottom on three sides to minimize scrape damage and went to Santa Monica Mountains after. The lip was painted and simply plasti dipped the mouth for now. I am saving for a Fujimura or an Amuse down the road but this should do for now.

I also have my H&R springs waiting to be installed either at Amplified Motorsports which is a little further but less painful on the pocket book or at Specialty Z which is closer to where I live. I know it will sit really low because the car seems already low to begin with. I know the lip will be tasting a lot of asphalt and concrete once this is done.
