Out with the old brakes and in with the new.
I think I'll wash and wax it too then take it for a nice drive.

I started it, fired right up. It's been run twice over the past year, gas smelled pretty bad, I need to pull it out and drive it.

Burn it all out until almost empty, then fill up with the good stuff and maybe add some SeaFoam.

I haven't seen my Z in a week.

Threw on an eBay catback fitment was alright, the hangers were the problem, such a pita to get em off, fitment was same problem everyone says, one tip is about 1/2" off center, really a big improvement regardless with all my intake side mods, definitely a lot louder, louder than I expected but I'm content with it, however didn't get the invidia tp's on, will do that soon though. Cheers to another mod well done

You shouldn't have any flat spots, I have three cars and my z will at times not move for up to 3 months.

Need to get a moving permit , get it smogged , then will drive the tank out before I hit the track next month.

Looked at the Kognition wing mounting, going to be fun.

My air compresser died, need a new one to cut out the trunk for the wing

Drove my Z for the first time since Saturday, cleaned my driver-side floor mat afterwards

I also removed my NISMO b-pillar covers in order to wetsand/reclear them. They were yellowing after 6 years or use and will post my results afterwards once done

The angry bird under the bumper doesn't like them. I can tell.

I changed the wastegate springs on my greddy TT kit with the gates Installed on the car. To anyone wondering: yes it can be done. No you should not do it this way. Lol.
