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

MadMan · 10-17-2013, 08:55 AM

Found something I like better on my daily drive than on-ramps.
Bringing my daughter home from a soccer practice last night. (new location)
Found a traffic circle. At the time of night we were out the roads were almost deserted in this area.
Never really cared for traffic circles in the past, but finding a deserted one in the Z was muy emocionante!

Did something kind of cheesy (according to one of the guys I work with)... Put a JDM Sport tow hook on the front.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the rear tow hook location non-existent? I had to tow my 2010 when the steering lock failed a while back and there is nothing to screw the otw hook into behind the little pop-out piece under the rear license plate.

that is correct. but there are kits that mount to the strap-down hook bracket which can be used as a tow hook.

but i doubt it is strong enough to pull a car out of a ditch with it.

Thank you.

Also, it's a good reason to try to keep my cars out of ditches.

I miss running a tow hook, my new bumper is too long and I can't use the stock location

In for pics of your setup

I'll use metal. And mount them in the inside of the fender.

Got my car back from the shop that did the damage. They gave me their word and fixed the font lip that they accidentaly cracked. It looks really good. The cost I paid for the brake service and more pretty much went back to the repairs. They did not make money on me this week. Looks like I have maybe 6 more months of life on this lip. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Edited my post about the tow hook. Gotta excuse the bug guts, the grasshoppers are everywhere....

djrelic · 10-17-2013, 11:24 PM

I was on a steep hill in the rain.
Got it up the hill, it turned the corner and I spun out by smacking the guard rail.

Need to get a new hood, new left headlight, hood, both front fenders, rear bumper, rear tail light.

it was ...awesome... f**k.
