Z_Driver

iTrader: (3)

Oh yeah mechanics gloves ... yeah I forgot those. Thanks !!!

imseksy

86. 100$ worth of lap dances

Z_Driver

iTrader: (3)

Oh, and how are you going to relate that to the Z? This I've gotta hear.

imseksy

drive the Z to the strip club, pay a stripper 100$ to come to your Z and strip in front of it... dont forget to take pics of her washing your car with her boobies =)

Z_Driver

Z_Driver

iTrader: (3)

Your right, and a day at the drag races or autocross can do wonders for the driver of the car. As a driver it is THE BEST money spent. Great !!!!

Z_Driver

iTrader: (3)

Heck, I don't know but, I'd drive down there just to do it. Maybe we can get a Topless Car Wash Day going at some private home in the hills. That would be the most outragous meet ever. I'd pay $75-100 to have hot topless chicks wash my car and allow me to take pictures of them. Oh yes I would !!!

How bout hiring a personal trainer to take of some personal Lbs...you know every pound you shave off yourself is the same as a pound shaved off the Z...

disconnecting the coolant lines to your throttle body. costs ~$5 in parts. helps prevent heat soak and can keep car from losing power during hard driving.

cutting out the stock resonator, and welding back in a straight pipe.

punching out the honeycomb in your cats (not recommended in cali)

WOW! You have thought this through thoroughly.

You can paint your plenum? Won't that affect heat dissapation.

Z_Driver

iTrader: (3)

Yeah, I was thinking that as well. Lol !!! What's a subercharger. Is that one of those FI systems for a Suburu. Lol !!!

Z_Driver

iTrader: (3)

Yeah that's possible, however, I have done it on all my race cars and it hasn't changed the numbers at the track. The nice thing about it is if you use 1200 degree Engine Enamel it's design to allow for this I was told. That is what I did. Plus it makes it really easy to clean all the finger prints and oils off of the plenum. If you are worried about heat soak get a plenum spacer it will cure any possible effect it might have like Corsair did. The ISO spacer gaskets insulate against the transfer of the heat back into the plenum. The spacer also give you about 13-17HP gain. The increased airflow also cools the plenum. At least that is how I understand it.
