I'm still waiting for April 1st..... Although it's even tempting now with the sun out and roads looking clear, I know there's a layer of salt just waiting to corrode my underbody

 

I just don't want to give up the glass-like finish on the paint from being detailed in early December. :P Especially since the forecast is for snow/sleet/rain every day this week.

I need to call up Z1 and order my trans, diff, and brake fluids for our first mod party...

 

Depending on what you need, S&G Import Parts in Berkly will probably carry it. They carry Redline fluids, ATE brake fluid.. give 'em a call. If they don't have it maybe they can order..

Reeeaalllyyy... I was looking for a redline dealer local... didn't have any luck last summer. I like local!

I may have just got a pretty sweet deal on a set of custom BC ER coilovers. I'll find out for sure on the 10th. I am not exactly ready for them but I couldn't pass it up.

 

Normally Steve, I'd be right there with ya. (Not putting the insurance back on till later in the month.) But since I had a loan on the Z, they require proof of insurance. I had hit the limit and couldn't push it back a month or they'd charge me for their own insurance. (ripoff)

Now that I just paid the car off, I'm no longer required to carry it while it is in storage. I'm optomistic that it will get better soon. I almost drove it today but I need the rain to wash away the salt first. So tempting ... so tempting.

 

hey guys its been a while.

small update, polished out the wheels, pushed them to -3 offset.

 

nice Edmon, but personally I liked the wheels black. Still looks good though, now come out to our GLZC meets!

 

thanks rob, trust me the wheels POP in person, they look so much cleaner. pics = no justice like always.

heres the rear setup before i got the wheels polished.

 

Nice! Are you selling your old wheels?

EDIT: LOL - I just realized these are your old wheels. Killer job on them! Did you have to add a clear coat to protect the polish?

 

I'm liking the polished look of the wheels and the painted headlights.

Did you do the headlights yourself?

 

Edmond: I have some 06+ headlights in OEM silver. I'd be happy to trade them for your painted plus a little cash or beer!

 

nice Edmon . that polish looks awesome the car pops out now , glad youre making progress once again .

 

Brian, been looking to do this. Im intrested, straight trade. What condition is your set in?

Billy, thanks bro. I wanted a more aggressive stance this season. The wheels went from a +12 to a -3 offset. few others odds and ends as well.

-6 point autopower roll cage.
-carbon rear diffuser

 

Thank you, yes I did them myself, roughly a weekend of work. bake, Disassemble, Scuff, plastic prep, primer, paint, assemble. A LOT OF WORK.

 

You betcha. Straight trade.

These belonged to Deepu off his Nismo. He had the clear bra installed over the headlights. There is one small scratch into the clear bra after his accident. I can send a photo if you'd like. You probably could re-clear bra that headlight and eliminate the mark. Since he had the bra on since new, the lenses are in fantastic shape.

They are on my bench right now. I never installed them because I wanted to paint them black. I'd never done it before and didn't want to mess up a good set of lights.

EDIT: Also, the tabs are in perfect shape. (No breaks)

 

DEEPU parted his NISMO?! wtf...who got the winG!!!!!? i need details asap. sorry to hear, but i would buy so much off that thing.

EDIT: brian, you have PM. hit me up.

 

possibly getting a 350z or e46 m3..... choices...

You may be thinking that this is a long drive to make another drive but we don't have the good fortune to have great roads all over the state like other states. We gotta go to the ones we love.

I love winter. I hope it NEVER ends. Snow and cold forever! Please!

 

^^ Nice Justin! Please make a seperate thread on this so it doesn't get lost in the Detroit threads. Also note, the distance to Frankfort, Mi is probably the same for both the Detroit folks and the Chicago folks. Be sure to hit up the Windy City Z Club and ChicagoZ.com guys.

EDIT: Do you have any photos or video from previous events? That would help sell this.


We will advise the Great Lakes Z Club members and put it in the calendar.
