You need to run the VIN# through. It's on there, look for it.

Can you tell me how you removed the finisher from the armrest? I have a new one and can see where the clips are but having difficulty pressing them in to release the clips without damaging the leather.
Thanks, fellow OCD'er

Yeah, a lot of the stuff on my car is pretty uncommon or rare. When I bought my Recaro seats they were 1/7 sets being imported to the US.

My tires have been reporting low air for months now. Since it was still 60 degrees after work and 95% of the snow is gone I took the Z out for its first drive of 2021. Inflated the tires and gas’d up. Then, I took my daughter w me to get a pizza. Boy I’d forgotten how loud my car is on the inside.

i also popped the hood and started replacing some of my oem bolts w some titanium bolts I ordered. Freakin loving it. Will see if I can carve out an hour this weekend to play w the car a little more.

Not driving your car to not put miles in it is like not having sex to keep your girlfriend ready for the next guy just drive and maintain her correctly and shell live forever !

Eh, I get it... but my car was 14.5k, just with one vendor I'm in the hole for about 17k, not including the 5k+ for seats, 5k for wheels and 4k for brakes and the but load of money spent on body mods and a paint job. I'm happy driving the car once in a while if it's going to keep it looking pristine as it does, my car is in showroom quality, and I want to keep it like that. Eventually I'll get a car for thrashing around/racing but not this one.

So recently, just installed HKS IV SP coilover, got a set of Willans 6-PT harness, K-Harness bar came in yesterday, installing today.
Going to need guides on how to "properly" install the Willans harness though.

Lastly, today, I got new tires mounted on my Z.
I'm now running F: 275/35/R18 & R: 305/35/R18 on a stock body Z. Need to get alignment to dial in a modest amount of camber and zero out toe.
