Avery is easier to work with but not nearly as durable as 3m, pain in **** to remove if often parked outside after only a year.

 

That's what I've heard. Will go with 3M next time, but wanted the easier material my first time through. Thankfully it's garaged 90% of the time

I finally got around to ordering some new hatch struts. Having the rear hatch fall on my head AGAIN this morning because it was 36 degrees outside made me decide to finally shell out some $$$.

 

Gave her a good clean and wax along with the winter wheels before I head back to the salty roads of the great white north.

 

mine are getting weak on the vette, replaced the hood ones back in the summer after it smacked me

 

I've gotten a couple close calls when it's cold with my hatch. Once it hits me I'm sure I'll but the Z1 ones


And lastly that blue Z.....that's a color I've never seen on a Z before

 

the machine shop finally finished doing the bore and hone for my block(.20 overbore) and balanced my CRANKshaft. I got back all my forged rods and pistons.

now its time to grind my piston rings down and check with a feeler gauge b4 putting them on my pistons.... =)

 

says the person who asked "what tools do i need for UCA change"

 

Also the same guy that asked about what springs and shocks he needs to lower his ride...

 

That's a really clean Z!

 

Finally changed out my blown OEM diff bushings to solid SPL ones, changed my front camber arms to SPL ones, and changed my clutch to a Southbend stage 3 kit w flywheel and MOTUL fluids

I swear guys, absolutely NO chatter. It's like i'm driving a new car.

My previous flywheel was extremely chattery that I just got used to it. But now, all I hear is the sound of the beautiful VQ with the vortech. Lol.

 

your old clutch was just trying to tell you his feeling, what he liked, etc.....


haha, happy for you, sounds like you did it right

 

Bought a new carbon hood today. Just need to wrap it and get it installed now

 

Picked up seats



Removed all of the brakes





Also removed rear wheel studs




More on my build thread about what's going on

 

HEY CJM, what is that lip kit you got on your car? The side skirts and the front lip and rear please? Where did you order it?

 

Nismo V2 front bumper and INGS side skirts/rear bumper. Not sure where they were purchased from however they are polyurethane

 

Whoa.... looking at the sway bars..... full stiff Front, full soft Rear.... AutoX setup? How's high speed handling? Any wind up on the front links? Seems interesting.

I've set mine up with nearly the opposite at full soft Front (but obviously still stiffer than stock), mid-stiff Rear and it gives me just enough bias towards oversteer to be fun for my type of driving. Would probably change it for the track though.

But clean setup, Quinton!

full stiff..... rear..... soft ... front.... sounds like a **** scene

 

Go back to sleep Trav, yer dreaming out loud.
