So, driving season is very near and what do I plan to do with the Z? Well now that I am working and getting rid of my college loans...I plan to spend every dollar wisely on the Z this year. First I have to start with the suspension! It sucks right now.....unsafe if you really want to know. Why? Well shocks are too soft, no swap bars, old rubber all the way around the car, strut upper mounts are worn and finally tires are unbalanced. Also, my steering shakes all the time! It has been getting worse as time goes on. I have checked the car a few times and can't figure out what is going on. So the joy of just driving the car is gone and now I want it to be done right!
So I am making a new list of parts I want to install before I start driving it for the summer:
phase 1
-new shocks
-sway bars
-finish cage
-new front/rear strut bars
-new bushings
-new strut tops
-install new Q45 front mount
-check tranny for slipping clutch
-install new tires (toyo proxies 245/35/17)
phase 2
-finish up wiring
-new head lights (hid's)
-motor work
This spring I do look forward to working on the Z! Atleast I was able to drive it for 6 months and that was worth the battle alone. Don't get me wrong..my car is "safe"...I drove it to Fl and back but it is not where I would like it to be and doesn't handle for my driving style ( back roads )...lol
Anyway here is another quick vid, sorry for the quality. Youtube really makes these vids look like crap. I will try another site soon...this was shoot with a HD dvd cam?! Here it it:
Let me know what you think. Alway like to hear from you guys.
