Default down and dirty

<img src="http://home.comcast.net/~jeff.kollmann/downanddirty.jpg">

That's right, the Z is filthy and lowered.

I finally got around to installing a set of Tein coilovers on the Z yesterday. The ride height looked OK when i first installed them, but after a road trip to and from Milwaukee, they've settled quite a bit. I'll definitely need to raise the fronts up - and may also have to toss on the adjustable camber / toe kit as well.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with the ride quality - the 510lb linear springs are SO much better than the poorly matched progressive OEM shocks / springs.

Dag . . . looking at that pic, no wonder I get so many tint tickets. Hope to see most of you folks on Sunday. Word.

Default Changed out the following

got rid of my crappy ole test pipes and got the APS test pipes. I also changed to a JIC Y PIPE for better flow. I will be installing the Kinetix SSV and CJ motorsports fuel system in a few weeks...

Default nice.

the SSV is a VERY pretty piece, but unfortunately all dynos are showing that it's just that - a show piece. I was at CJ's shop on Thursday . . . man those fuel rails are pretty.
