Guest tony78_280z Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Today is the day. I insured my Z and will take it on the longest drive in over a year. 15 miles. If all goes well, it'll graduate to my daily driver. I just got back from a two miles drive. I went by my cousins house and left about 10 feet of black streaks in the middle of the road in front of his house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Well, it sounds like the tires are peeling off, I'd leave it at home it's definately not ready for a daily driver. You might try some better tires like some 32x14x15 slicks or something, sounds like those are el cheapos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tony78_280z Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 What better excuse to go buy some new tires than ruining the ones I got. Besdies, smoken 'em is part of the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tony78_280z Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Y'all didn't cross your fingers. I made the 15 mile trip alright. Barked a few tires and had some fun. Then get a flat as I pull into the driveway. A Front tire, go figure. I abused the back ones and a front gives up!!! As I'm messing with the tire I I notice I'm leaking tranny fluid out of the pan gasket. (I recently added a B&M shift kit, so I know the gasket it good.) I attempt to tighten the bolts on the pan gasket and snap one off. Looks like I got another few days of work left. Very emotional day for me.

TheNeedForZ Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 The S30 Z cars relate so well to a Nickelback song that goes : "...Something's gotta go wrong cuz I'm feelin' way too damn good..." Well, keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
