Driving the Z after a long winter nap seems so foreign to me, it's like learning a new car again.

It's like a new car. I think that's part of the appeal of storing it for the winter.

I washed my Z today. Felt really good to scrub her down by hand. Next time, she gets a wax.

Each time I pulled a mussel out of the shell, I kept thinking of what it looked like.

Try Wizards too Dave, really good stuff. The Napa in AV has a good selection. The only store I've seen that stocks nearly every Wizard product. It's also a little spendy tho

I prefer Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Professional Hi-Tech Yellow wax #26 as my step 4, I use their clay bar, paint cleaner, polish and wax.

Agreed with Meguiars....AMMO is pretty boss too.

I was looking at that Pic and I thought your hood had some haze or left over wax on the right, but no those were clouds nice work.

Have you tried the AMMO stuff yet? Does anyone stock it here or is it online only. I really like his videos, esp the ones with his new(old) Porsche, that car is sexy.

buying a brembo bbk for my evo...

do I buy the 350mm kit with the 'high thermal capacity' rotors? a couple hundred bucks more than their 355mm kit, but the rotors are about 4 lbs a piece heavier.... The rotor ring is about 15mm bigger.. "larger Annulus"

or do I buy their 355mm kit? Both kits have the same 6 piston monoblock calipers. The brembo rep is kind of pushing the 350 high thermal kit, but not sure I need it... not that I 'need' either kit, but if I am spending the big money, I feel like I should buy their best - save for their GT-R kit.

Both kits require me to use 18" wheel

please don't say say stay with the stock brembos. Been there, done that.


high thermal kit:


standard 355mm kit:

the 355 is more than what you need to begin with. Might as well go with and save a few hundred bucks.
