Another week or not doing anything, but truck runs again, and I did take this picture.

 

Looks nice! Thats a pretty clean engine bay.

 

 

I got my front sway bar in today and I also raised the front of the car back to stock height to get rid of some camber. I wish I had pics of the Whiteline bar going in but i encountered some problems job in total took me much longer than it should've since I haven't done sway bars before. Well worth the extra time however as it feels much more capable now. Surprisingly even with the front bar on its stiffest setting ride quality isn't affected at all. Probably has something to do with raising the car, I think the coilovers ride much nicer at stock height.

 

Pretty sure Outkast said it best when they said "Ain't no Auto dope as Z I'm just so fresh and clean(so fresh and so CLEAN!).






Heard this while I was washing.

Have a good Saturday all.

 

Still have a little bit of a front end suspension issue. I've inspect the driver outer tie rods, and that's leaking fluids already. So, I'm quite not sure what's the deal. I'm thinking if a steering-related that's damaged? I feel something "loose" when I get a little bit of a hop over the front over a bump at a 50-70 MPH. It'll be seeing a performance shop on Tuesday for a breakdown inspection. Also, going to Wekfest LA 2018 today. Take care guys!


EDIT: Still haven't installed Whiteline Compression/Radius arm bushings in yet. But unsure if that's the culprit of the "loose" feeling, shot OEM bushings.

 

No pics, but installed a Fumoto oil drain valve, M1-110 Extended Performance Oil Filter, and 5 Qts of Pennzoil Platinum Euro 0W-40 Full Synthetic juice, a new radiator cap from Gates.

 

I ordered an underdrive pulley and exhaust gaskets from concept Z about 2 weeks ago. Still waiting for it.

 

I hope you get the suspension gremlins sorted out. Z is looking good!

 

I installed some polished aluminum rings around the three main instruments in the gauge cluster. They remind me of the way gauges looked in British sports cars in the 1960's.

 

 

I got them from the Tuner Shop Team in the UK. They are just a snap fit and I think it will be difficult to remove them should I ever want to.

 

Well my S10 shot the bed today so here is my daily driver for the next few weeks before I get the rav4 on the road.



I lost the brakes in a construction zone, jumped the curb and drove through a bunch of yards right in front of 2 police officers... It was kinda scary, don't think im going to fix the S10... It doesn't owe me anything.

 

Bested my previous lap time by 4ish seconds....I had a pretty big lift off the gas pedal to let someone pass as well. He didn't end up taking the pass anyways...probably could of shaved at least a second from that alone. WIND NOISE WARNING!

 

Dang at least you didn't have that happen when you were the a highway; In that case, you could've been put in a scenario whereby one moment everybody is doing 80 and the next moment they slam on their brakes to a stop. A supercharged frontier i think would be a nice replacement to your S10.

 

Should I invest in a better camera? This was shot with an iphone SE with a lot of photoshop and lightroom to make it look better.

 

Only if photography interests you. I own several including a mirror less cam when I can't carry the larger baggage around. Lately I've been using my LG G6 for quick shots and pics come out near DSLR quality.

 

ordered up trans and diff fluid.

What are you guys using to fill your diff/trans fluids? Also what about when bleeding the clutch?

 

 

I've gotten the best results with my Motive power bleeder for the clutch. You can do the procedure outlined in the FSM, but the power bleeder is so much easier!
