Today I broke two exhaust bolts and discovered a separated rear tire during my endeavor to grease the rear axles. Thankfully, the bolts are not welded to the flange as the dealer told me on the phone when I called to see if they had some replacement bolts in stock. I called up Kevin at Austin Z Clinic and drove the car over to him after putting it back together as best I could. He hammered out the old bolts and found me some replacements. I then drove over to nearby Discount Tire (a forum member works there) to see what my best options were for tire replacement. Of course, they have very limited stock of 19s, and the local warehouse is closed on the weekends. It is looking like I'm going to buy some new RE-11s though.
The long and short of the day is NO MORE AXLE CLICK!! oh and parking brake is adjusted, too. I may or may not attempt the SS brake line install later this weekend.

Officially over 80k on the speedo. Got a wash, cleaned the exhaust ends, contemplating getting some spats to deter the build up from the headers.

Found two rear replacement tires for $50 apiece. Nitto Invos with 6/32 tread. Not bad for emergency tire needs

Got some new rubber (265/305) after managing to get 21,741 miles out of my RE-11s. Decided to give the S-04s a try, looking for some more tread life for the daily driver.
A couple items from the BF/Cyber week sales arrived as well..SPL Rear Camber links, Black ZSpeed Engine Splash Shield

That sounds voyeuristic.

...like catching a glimpse of the top of a woman's stocking -- that is what it's like to see the Z's tires poking out, ever so enticingly, from the bottom of the its cover. At least for me...
