I agree about replica wheels on the NSX. But on the Z that goes to a track once in a while, I'm more forgiving. lol

Just need to find time to do my front lip...then thats probably it for mods this year.
I did the rear diff and tranny oil at 30k miles. Not sure when I should do the next one since I don't drive it as often, but I guess I can start planning on it soon.

As for mods, I have plans this year. Gotta change out that exhaust so Greg won't mind cruising with me again.

I just spent over 3 hours detailing the Z. I wish she were that clean for C&C.

[QUOTE=SmoothZ;10138251] Well then, you need to make a personal appearance at Sonic in Bloomington on June 14th.

Sure will. When I get off work I'll see if it's still early enough to drop by!

I think we were there for at least an hour starting at around 7. We just need to make sure we park together or find spots on the south side of Sonic for overflow parking, then walk up and order treats.

Dave when you wax the Z do you use a orbital buffer or is all by hand? Id like to pick up a Porter cable buffer but I wanna test drive one first to make sure its the way to go.

I do it by hand. I could probably count on 1 hand how many times I've ever used an orbital.

Gotta say that the car looks good. I ran out of NXT, but I think I might try something new from Mothers.

Was good seeing most of you Saturday morning at C&C and catching up! Even older members came out of the woodworks that don't own Z's anymore which was very cool.

Hope everyone enjoyed the rest of their weekends, and look forward to the next get together/meet/cruise!
