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

Went out for a drive with the wife today after coffee. Weather was gorgeous. Ended up putting over 200miles on the Z going to the countryside and back.

Had the old window tint removed and new 20% tint installed... I think the old tint might of been 20% too, Because it looks the same from the rear aside from being more of a charcoal color (old tint apparently was fading).

I totally forgot about this topic, well not today but i installed a Injen CAI which makes the car sound wonderful at high revs, had a few issues during the install due to lack of info from Injen but all in all I'm happy

Zipper 104 will become famous soon enough
Default Finally

Finally got around to installing my SPL camber arm lockout bolts, elongating the holes in the subframe and putting in the SPC toe bolts. Whew.
Now to setup a date with an alignment shop.

its a fun track for us Z guys with big HP. if there wasnt a 90db limit on the uphill after turn 5, i could easily bust the 1:45 mark. but i have to literally coast through or be black flagged off for the day

its a scary track though...it'll chew you up and spit you out if you're not careful. here's a brand new Z06. potato quality, sorry!
