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

Z_ealot · 10-25-2015, 06:25 PM

Tried my hand at clearing up some light yellowing of the headlights on the Z with some 3m headlight renewal compound, worked wonders on the headlights and now they are as good as new

Silly Rabbit · 10-25-2015, 06:42 PM

Dropped the Z off to get new fenders installed. Now with the garage space empty, I find evidence that the rear differential bushing it toast. Wonder if I can manage to get extended warranty to cover whiteline bushings.

They also sell a UV protective coating for after cleaning which is good to use on new lens to protect them also.

Holy crap. I wonder how good the cable in my 240 is...

I could have gotten to it without cutting the hood, but would of had to take my downpipe and exhaust off some how. I couldn't reach it from underneath. The hood on the car today has collected One Great Dane, and One Deer (thought that one was going to be in the front seat with me). So it was junk anyway. I have a new one I bought back in 2010. So I just said F it. Now the challenge is finding a new hood release cable.

Yeah i thought about that too, probably gonna be picking up some of that next week....im just surprised at how clear the lens got from just using the 3m renewal compound, can't wait to see how good the uv protectant is

My friend brought me back some souvenirs from his trip to Japan. Don't know where he got them but I probably won't be installing the Arc radiator cap because i believe its not the right pressure or something...

Z goes into storage for the next 6 months today. Have a running check list of everything I need to do.

Top off gas
Bottle of Stabil
Grab radar detector and e-z pass
Inflate tires a few PSI over
Grab wheel chocks
Dryer sheets
Car cover
ugh......

Already? Where do you live? I'll probably keep mine out for another few weeks.

Cold tires shitty grip

Z is in storage until April. Probably feeling out of place in a sea of Moostangs and Vettes. Oh, and a Hellcat.
