Touched up the paint chips in my front spoiler with Dr. Color Chip.

Garage door tension spring broke last night. Heard a boom but didn't think anything of it til this morning when the door didn't open.

So had to wake my baby to pull her out while the contractor replaces the spring. Tempted to drive lol

dat sucks. did u know u can prolong the life of those springs if u lube it once a year? I'm still on the original spring from over 15yrs ago on my house.

just get some lighter motor oil and drip lightly across the entire top of the spring. you don't need to rub it or anything. just apply and it will naturally spread on its own. also good idea to lube the bearings lightly. just enough is good, don't want oil dripping on ur Z. just do it once a year.

Good to know. Spring has been there for ages... almost 20nyears plus it's a large single instead of a dual. The repairman was like uhh any bigger and you're going commercial scale lol

Replaced both downstream o2 sensors on the Z yesterday and then enjoyed some canyon carving today, definitely more pep in her step now

Cool

I finally upgraded two aesthetic items on my Z that I've been wanting to do for a long time. First, replaced the stock START-STOP button with a GTR Button.. looks sharp and was a very easy replacement (like 5 minutes to perform). I then replaced the rear "Egg-Yolk" direction lights with the clear looking bulbs (they are actually coated so they don't look yellow). That upgrade was a PITA as one has to take out the 3 interior plastic pieces to get to the one nut that holds the tail light to the body, then remove the trim piece on the outside of the hatch from the side of the light to get to the two bolts securing it to the body ... just to get to the light bulb...

'Cause Sports Car I guess...

But worth it. She looks even better now.

Purchased an Ecutek cable even though I already have a tune. It functions as an advanced OBDII/CAN diagnostic tool as well

I also purchased a Stebel Nautilus Compact Truck Horn for the Z - 136dB @ 300Hz
