looks great

 

I drove it for the first time in 6 months!

After having the ZSpeed CSC and Wilwood master cylinder installed. It's a rocketship compared to anything I've driven for months. So in love again!

(Don't mind the 4x4 wheel gap in the rear. My driveway looks flat but isnt!)

 

I installed the same one in my '08. One of my favorite mods, and I put on in my old BMW 635, too:

deleted triple-post - what's up with the site?

 

subframe bushings.. and gave it a good cleaning



picked up a quaife from Savanna Little last year, time to install..




Got my Caddi CTSv Brembo six pots machined and finished finally. Will need to swap the cross over tube and bleeder locations still, but all set.

 

I took the day off yesterday and cleaned and re-dyed my factory black leather driver's seat on the left bolster and other friction points. It now looks about 9 years better.

 

I did that the 2nd week after I owned the car. I hate that the Touring model didn't come with a compass.

 

I think the orange display ones are from a Subaru, and they're harder to find than the ones with the blue/green display.

 

Any particular kit you used for that?
I was gonna order a patch and refinish kit off eBay for a small hole in my driver bolster. But both bolsters are showing wear.

 

I use a leather re-coloring balm that I ordered out of the UK several years ago. It's made by a company called Furniture Clinic. It appears they now sell the product on . <-- Click for link.

This is my second application in about 5 years. The stuff really does a great job and a little goes a VERY long way.

 

Nope, it's the exact same one I got from Nissan. I bought it from the dealership as a 2009 Nissan Rogue SL OEM part (my wife's Rogue that we bought on the same day as my Z had the Homelink + Compass that I wanted, so I swapped out the part and tested it on my car before I ordered it.) My original Homelink-only mirror has been sitting in a parts bin since just after I bought the Z.

 

Thank you for the info :-)

 

Got off lazy duff to yank my "fancy Enkei" whills off car. (And to take them in for new rubber M&B next week)



Did so to re-install the whills I took out of the "old Volks home".... Geddit? Geddit?? (I'm very sorry for that.)

Went from this look...


...to a tamer, calmer look.


I like. Guess I keeps dem now.

 

Looks nice! What are you going to put on the rpf1's?

 

Comp turbo came in!!!

 

Hey Blue! The wheels above, aren't RPF1s. They're AME TM-02s. They're designed by Kyoho, a pretty high end/luxury wheel maker in Japan, and built by Enkei using the same MAT technology as Enkei Racing and Tuning series wheels. Essentially, they're known as "upscale RPF1s"; hence why I call them my "fancy Enkeis" or my "faux Enkeis". Heh.





It's an older wheel... I think they were big from around '08 to '11. I've never seen another set around here; that's why I had to have 'em!

Pulling off a near new pair of Bridgestone RE050As (about 300 miles when I got them last month) and tossing the fronts (about 25% left). Going with a set of Kumho PS91 255/285-19s. Put a set of these on my Z34 Niz wheels for my son's car and they're actually quite good - for a budget Max Perf tire like my Sumitomo HTRZ-3s. Going to test 'em out for the heck of it on mine.

Oh, right, mandatory specs.... 19x9.5 / 19x10.5 +22, 20.1#/20.9# F-R


Decent rear fit.

Downside to my alloy n' rubber fetish... my main garage is overstuffed yet again... sigh...



Cross I guess I gotta bear.

 

Sounds like a nice problem to have if you ask me. Lol. I'm a shoe junkie as well. Just bought wheels and I'm saving for another set now. The wife doesn't see the sense in it but I try to come up with new and interesting excuses. Keeps her on her toes.

 

What's really bad is if someone were to ask me how many sets I have, I have to think forever or count them and lose track while counting because in addition to the main garage, I have another grajj plus a side yard....

 

I am green with envy.

You just became my next excuse!!!! Lol
