But probably only a couple times a year.
Unless I come into some big money and buy myself a 370Z nismo and turn this one into a full-blown race car. Lmao.

Hopes and dreams.....

I just bought all the stuff I need to take my driver's side headlamp assembly apart, clean, dry and seal it and put it back together again. I can't wait to get that black rubber butyl crap all over my hands. I'm getting sick of the condensation that showed up inside the housing last month.

Not really anything for my z buy I took this apart for the fun of it.













Wish the outside was as nice as the inside, I might have actually wanted to use it..

And here is my other back-up diff

After consulting some enthusiasts and track guys I went with Bilstein B8s. Next project is the Hotchkis 32/20 setup with Whiteline ends. Almost ready for ZdayZ 2017

took off my utr g3 spoiler. anyone know how to get off the adhesive that was used? it looks like a liquid rubber of some sort. i used a heat gun to take off the spoiler itself but not sure how to get the globs off. not sure why the body shop installed it with this

the adhesive itself is strong and pliable at the same time. tried goo gone and goof off. neither did anything

Man, that's ugly - looks like construction adhesive. I'd try some 3M Adhesive Remover or maybe some mineral spirits. You might need a rubber wheel you can use with a drill to pull adhesive off paint, but you have to be careful not to overheat it and burn the paint.

Today I curbed rashed my wheel in the narrowest drive-thru (new area) while turning. I have never been pissed before.

Half of the diameter of an 18" wheel is rashed. That is what I did today. Please if anyone knows a really good repair shop, please please cue me in.
