Bah! I know!

When I got the tires mounted a while back, the tech said he couldn’t get the weight to stick to the inside. I guess I had waxed them recently.

Now the real question is here...why go through all this effort instead of just swapping to the CD009 manual ?

Default Oil changed

Today I did the oil change on Zena with the usual Castrol Full Synthetic oil, but this time I replaced one quart with some Lucas Full Synthetic Oil Stabilizer. She had an audible ticking and it seemed to shut that up. It also seems like she has gain a little more power or maybe it was restored.

O not yet, I haven't put enough miles on my summer wheels yet, I was thinking I still had another few weeks, although it was like 34 last night.

On a side note I took the car to Costco tonight, the trip home featured a dead racoon in the middle of the highway.

Someone actually bought an OEM rear spoiler? I was about to throw mine in the trash, but if I can get $$$ for it. How much did you ask for it?

Yup, me too. As the car is now completed, finally decided I didn't need the old weatherstripping, carpets, non-OE seats, misc parts of little value, etc.



Hey, made enough space in the garage for some more whills!! (Just in time too... )



x4. Hey, I *needed* them! Have a set of super stickies I picked up cheap and need something to mount them on!! That way they won't rot!

Well, my wife bought that line.

Anyone know who the guy with the led light squares in his headlights for his drift car? He has an orange z the last time i saw. I remember seeing his post a while back but i forgot his name and build thread.

Studly looking Toyos! If you don't mind let me know what you think of these T1s once you've had some time on them; been eyeballing these for some time (gone through 2 sets of Proxes 4s on the Z and they were very nice tires; not sure if they still make them).

I'll update my thread on them later on after having them mounted next weekend.

Wired up an 07+ steering wheel to work in my 05 w cruise.. Full write up is in my ongoing build thread it's actually pretty easy.. No one had consolidated information before though, now we do.

Bitter sweet October day, at least the wheels got a good cleaning for the first time in a few years.

This was from a few weeks ago at Thompson motor speedway. Last trackday of the year. Sadly its about a few more weeks until it goes into storage. might do UCA and SPL solid bushings for radius arm with alignment before storing.

Finally found some Gloss black flush center caps for my LE-37's. Never did like the polished aluminum center caps


polished center caps

Blacked out, flush center caps

Much cleaner look
