Yeah it was bare bones and I was going to cut out the speaker cubby... But naggy maggy kept telling me to get my head out of my *** and put the interior back in.

On a positive note I did swap out my 2 way rockford prime speakers for 3 way...

And maybe ill put the sub back in if im motivated.

Got tires mounted on wheels and test fitted. Rear roll and alignment on Monday. Looks like I'll need a bit more neg camber.

I went to pick up an oil filter from advanced auto parts ended up getting a bundle of oil with a k&n filter for like $35... With a $10 mail in rebate... Crazy because just a decent oil filter is like $7-$16. (The k&n was $14.99).. Now I have 7 qts of Mobil 1 and 5 qts if castrol laying around... Now if I can find a crush washer ill be good for the year.



But what will I end up putting in the car the Mobil that I always use or the fast and furious brand hmmmm

I have no idea, I would guess yes but they always make you put in a zip code before they give a price so maybe they rip off some people more than others.

I installed a poly transmission mount that had been sitting in the garage from a previously botched install.

Needless to say the amount of vibration and driveline/flywheel noise has dramatically increased. I'll drive it for a while and see if I can get used to it.

Anyone use the Megan trans/motor mounts? They're harder rubber than I am. Wondering if it's kind of the best of both worlds so to speak. I have their roll center front lower ball joints installed and I like them. Feedback on the transmission and motor mounts would be awesome :-)

I'll trade you a mushy oem mount for your Z1 mount. I have not tried any products from megan racing so no feedback from me.


Quick Reply: What have you done for your Z today?
