Not for the z but I did the unthinkable, detuned and reduced power on my evo x.

 

Started to drill/fit the apt nismo v2 bumper, got the mold for an antenna 'plug/cover', and started mocking up a cover for the jwt intake shield. Fun day~

 

That's going to turn out really nice!

 

Im a little worried my neighbors are going to hate me. Because of my ghetto garage but whatever car needs a hibernation hut. And I dont have the time (or motivation) for a real garage build right now.

 

if you don't have an HOA.. then they can bite you

 

Yeah I live in the small house at the end of the street that was built 50 years before all the others.. Im already the odd man out... But whatever at least the car will be covered. If I was more artistic I would paint something cool on the side.




It could look worse.

 

Wow, that will do nicely!

 

Scraped the bejeezus out of the bottom, twice today. Thanks to the moron who lowered it (badly). Need OEM springs and shocks...

 

i would just make sure you clear the snow off the top of it so it doesn't get too heavy and collapse on the car

that is totally on you, you are the owner/driver now. either learn to drive a lowered car, or fix it

 

Gawrsh, thanks, captain obvious. Now off you go, snack on some more glass.

 

you don't hear me complain if i scrap, captain oblivious

 

Finally got around to prepping my Z for the inevitable winter storage routine. Ugh, it's so sad since I was really enjoying the cool driving weather.

I wiped down the inside as best I could, used Sonax wheel cleaner and realized I don't drive the Z enough, then washed and waxed her. First time ever using the buffer not only to apply the wax but to remove it.









After drying, waxing, and letting her sit for a few hours:

 

No, I don't. Last time I looked in the mirror I didn't see you. Thank god for that.

 

because i am in front of you.....objects in mirror are losing

 

Hey SmoothZ!! Your Z is incredibly well done! Very tastefully done! I'm jealous!

 

going to try and keep the snow off the top and going to keep the car and the snow blower in the ghetto garage for the winter.

I could have parked it in a real garage at a house like 10 miles away but I think im going to try and drive it every couple weeks. If the car was not in my driveway it would be a pain in the ***.

I staked that thing to the ground with 3 different types of stakes. Hope that bad boy doesn't fly away.

 

Wheels look good SmoothZ!

 

Don't be so sensitive, travlee likes to make sure our newbs can handle a comment or two without getting panties bunched.

@Smooth car is looking great!

 

Looking good, Dave!

 

Thanks, guys. I want to say that she's probably got about 64k miles and still gets a few nods around town. As long as we take good care of these cars and stay on top of things, the value can be measured in more than just money.
