The differential went back in yesterday. The difference is astounding. The car feels alive again. It felt like it had double pneumonia and was mentally retarded.

The nvh I associated with the solid bushings is gone. Amazing what a properly set up ring and pinion will do.

I have 100 miles of break in to do and then an oil change at 1500 miles.

 

Bath day.




I bought this lip over a year ago after I scraped my lip the first time and decided I'd be buying new lips weekly if I did it after every scrape.

 

Second under hood bling.

 

Moved the catch can.

 

Detailed the Z this weekend. Started Sunday at 8am, finished this morning. Final part was sealer that has to be applied under 85f. Did it at 6am.

 

Nice! Im looking forward to getting back in the AZ heat!

 

It's "only" 105 right now. Chilly.

Was up to 116 last week.

 

That's crazy hot. We'll have to meet up this Fall sometime.

 

Sure, ping me when you are here.

 

Semi detailed the engine bay too.

 

New Kenwood DNX9980 installed.









Old unit could do this, and I had the camera. I just never ran the rca.

 

Great build and I loved reading the whole thread. Are you ever going to get rid of the rota's for some better wheels?

 

Thanks. It is a daily and I get mad when I curb the Rotas. I'd be really upset if they were the Volks I'd get.

 

Installed a Spal fan and then this:

 

hey bro, where do you get all of your stuff from... also where you live at would love to meet some cool people in phoenix to hang out with.

 

All over hell and back. Locally mostly from Concept Z.

I am in the West Valley. I rarely get out to Chandler

 

never heard of them, but will be looking into them.. and you ever go on rides thru the mtns? or have any Z meets?

 

No I don't do meets or drives. No time.

I did install the second 12" Spal this morning.

 

Friday I replaced the ugly license plate camera I had with a Corolla specific Pyle camera. I had to cut the bumper to install it but I like it much better and the picture is better on every level.







Closed garage no light but the backups.

 

G37 spare came today. Can't believe I took so long to get it.
