fonzo179 · 05-21-2013, 12:53 PM

Put the L Brackets on my woofer box...no more woofer roll at start/stop !!!

I picked up my Z from Joe @ Dynotronics last night with the new EcuTek tune. Additional tuning and dyno will come later, but here is my review of the initial results.

First impressions of EcuTek tune on nearly stock Z

Big thanks to Joe!! It's been a great experience working with him. He's a busy guy, but that's to be expected because he clearly knows his $hit. I'm looking forward to continuing the relationship as more features are released and the adjustments are fine tuned

Cleannnnn her off and detail.

I need to go and detail my machine today for tonights relief fund raiser car meet in dallas.

Well yesterday I was busy.
-Re-attached my front lip. Made it look MUCH cleaner and not as shotty as my last DIY job lol. Also needed to change out some of the 3M tape as the first time around it was not sticking as well as I had hoped.
-While I had the bumper off, did the DIY CAI mod also using dryer duct and the making the fangs useful. To say the least, my intake temps dropped tremendously. I run K&N Typhoon intake and my temps were about 35-50 higher then ambient air temps. Yesterday after driving around with it, my air temps were at a MAX 15 degrees higher then ambient air temps at cruising speeds. Worth the $20 if you don't have a CAI IMO. I need to still change it up a bit to make it look a little cleaner.
-Dropped my rear diff off at the transmission shopped to get assembled with the Quaife LSD and 4.08 gears installed. Probably the thing I'm most excited about.
-Washed and waxed her to finish the day off and enjoyed some friends at a car meet. Good day off I'd say

Cold day here in Germany. Spring? Summer? Not quite yet. Sort of there. Drove to get my hair buzzed and off to the gym. Found a nice gap on the Autobahn for some 3 digit fun! I just wish is would stay a touch warmer.

Flushed and put in new brake fluid.

Did it in 4 hours using the DIY section here. Love working on my car
