Example- if I floor the gas in any gear, it bogs at first losing a lot of power than jerks and sometimes would give it its full power, maybe someone else that has encountered this problem can better explain this, but for sure, no more LED's in the taillights! Runs like it should now, thank god

Hmm, fine in my '04.

I think you should be looking to checking your grounds first, that's a more likely cause.

Thanks a lot man! We actually took apart the doors and repainted/recleared the insides and reassembled. We removed the hatch and fenders as well and painted inside.

As for the shaving, I actually like the emblems and wiper there, I guess i'm one of the few lol

Today I got new tires, installed SPC rear camber kit and SPL front upper control arm and alignment. This was just to fix the tire wear issue. Wife bought the Z in 2004 and we have been going through tires every 12k-14k miles. The previous owner put in lowered springs and everyone we talked to since then said it couldn't be fixed. Then, I found this site.

What's this referring to?



Fitted some cheapo duralast beam blades on the front to replace the well worn ones that came on the car.

Having body work done Monday. Was scheduled for Friday but the owner of the body shop that I'm going to didn't have enough time.

Going to order black front bumper reflectors and an HID kit.

Next weekend I'll probably have the inside of my headlights painted flat black.
