To me,the Z clutch install is way quicker than in a 240....much more room in a Z.

Im lost on the flywheel bolts? what was different about them???

GOOD MORNING GUYS

I am loving this weather ! I know it won't stay this cool & dry forever....but I love the non-humidity in the air.

Drag Racing will be fun ! I hope I can make it...Labor day weekend is hard for me.

 

damn - that sux - no T-55 torx hex eh? guess them fools decided on using whatever they wanted. thats FAIL. Glad you got it done - certainly is a accomplishment when you do it on your own.. Gotta get that car high enough though or else your in a world of trouble through out the entire install.

 

dude - chris - rolling with my windows down - and it saying 72º in my car was full of win - this is freakin awesome weather for sure..!

 

The weather is nice.........

For those of you interested........If you haven't noticed I have been on a bushing replacement streak lately........


I have true coil overs, so naturally on my list is to replace the rear upper shock mount bushing on the rear knuckle.

well, i found out that if you have true coilovers you can use your spring bucket bushing to replace a blown out shock mount bushing in the knuckle.

Here im using a 26mm socket to press out the oem spring bucket bushing:



I also found that the rear shock mount bushing is the same as the lower "lug" spring bucket KNUCKLE bushing as well.


I bought whitelines that i plan to install hopefully this weekend.

^^^bushing *****!

Thats a GREAT find buddy.. I hope I can join in the fun on the install... if not - you BETTER take some good pics (I know you will).

 

Ya I might have to come over for the install too. I just have an itch to work on something.

 

it was really cool that you showed at MW man...great to see ya...hope to see you at more events bud..

 

Anyone going to this?

I'll go if I'm in town. I think I'm gone that weekend though.

Jake, you get my PM?

 

I'll be out of town for it. Gotta do work though lol

 

Ya man it was awesome out there. I should have hopped in with you, but next time I guess.

I'm actually going back to my old job (unfortunately... long story) so now my schedule is going to be teh suxorz AGAIN! I'll still try to make as many events as possible.

 

I might go Jake... especially if some of you guys plan on going....

 

Jason, Say I go with true coilover style coilovers. Would I only need the shock mount bushings assuming I went with rear tow links as a replacement for the spring buckets?

 

I did sir.. Im going to have to look at it in person. if that plastic piece is supposed to be there and screws in the lip...and then lip gets rolled....Im afraid that it wont be able to get put back on - if thats the case - the plastic trip "wont look right"... thats all im really concerned about - everything else I have covered..

 

Im going to check it out - never been to show at market center. NEXX...your car is worthy to be in it...regardless, I wouldnt mind hangin out with my fellow Z homies..

 

Ya NEXX you should enter your car.

 

I will be there with a Booth, I highly recommend coming to this event. It is going to be pretty awesome!

 

I suck at explaining but I think once you see it it'll make more sense. If we do the whole install at once that should make it easier to tell what needs to even be done.

 

^^^I cant agree with you more - Im a VERY visual person - I need to SEE it to get a better understanding.
