A little ashamed of myself for not doing this sooner (owned the Z for a year now) but I i clayed, polished, & waxed it for the 1st time today. Looks good, did it by hand but I can see me investing in an orbital sander soon. Big improvement.

New evolution plus by powerstop brake pads all around and finally got a too lean code after having these boltons for over a month glad I didn't install the test pipes with the cat back. Time to get a tune now.

Replaced the right rear strut mount with the KYB replacement and new OEM seal. Annoying creaky noise went completely away!............





On that side...

Now I can hear a quieter version of the same **** coming from the left rear tower. I guess the right side was so loud it drowned it out.

Oh well, guess I get to do this again in a few days..

No, from a catback p&p upper and lower plenum (pretty much an mrev2) a 5/16" spacer and Sri. Lol definitely time for tune but I think it was caused by how cold it was today compared to what it has been cause it was low 30's today and think that was the first time I've drove or had the car in park at idle sub 40's yet.

Default Italian Leather Seats

So I am of the nomenclature that a sports car should be manual and a sports car should have leather. All the 350's I looked at with leather seats were worn and crappy lest it was an automatic. So I decided, condition of the seats didnt matter because I planned to re-cover them. I went ahead and ordered a black on black ecstasy leather from leatherseats com and figured I would give upholstery a go at it. Overall I would say it was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be but it still took me about 3 hours per seat. End result, I am extremely pleased with the product and the outcome.

upgraded to 06+ depo headlights, installed some new slotted/drilled rotors, and had to remove tint from tail lights. :/
