So a v8 Dodge Ram tried to race me. After I won and slowed down, he cut me off and slammed on the brakes twice. Thank God I had a great reaction time and great brakes. Its pretty disappointing human beings would literally put people's lives in danger because they lost in a race... nevertheless it feels good to get the W.
Made it back to Texas! Averaged about 25 mpg on the trip, speed limits are 75 (Texas) and 70 in Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. Very few cops, traffic except around big rigs was moving along at around 5 over so my average speed from Cincinnati back to Arlington was 74. This is the 7th road trip I've taken with the car since I bought it almost 18 months ago. As usual, my car ran great. Spending Thanksgiving with the kids was nice too of course.
Installed black 350z convertible sunvisors. 5 years ago I reupholstered the headliner in charcoal grey suede. Unfortunately, I could not do the sunvisors since I am not good with a sewing machine. So I got the sunvisors from the 350z convertible because they come in black:
Two years ago, I upgraded the front brakes on my sedan to the Brembo's from the coupe. I had them painted Mitsubishi Quick Silver Metallic with red decals. I never got around to upgrading the rear brakes too.................THAT IS UNTIL THIS PAST MONTH!!!
This time I painted them myself. What I did was have a body shop supply place custom mix the Mistubishi silver paint in a aerosol spray can for me. I also purchased the Spraymax 2k Aerosol clear coat for better durability and bodyshop results. Basically primed them with SEM self etch primer > Spraymax 1K Silver Base Coat > Apply Brembo Decals > Spraymax 2K Clear coat. Came out flawless!!
Also gave the car a nice wash with ONR Wash and Wax in my Chemical Guys Spray Atomizer:
I guess you could see the direction I'm going with this car. I want a clean look with nice glossy silver calipers. None of that cheesy red, orange, yellow wannabe racer stuff with this car. Most of these cars have been now bought and abused by these young 17 years old kids. They destroy them and rice them with their plasti dip and cut springs. For me I want to keep this car true to the original audience, which is luxury with a sporty flare. The 350z in a tuxedo!
Wasn't today and I didn't take pics but my car sat for 3 years while I was out of the country, last weekend I replaced all cam position sensors, crank position sensors, replaced all brake rotors and pads, new fluids all around
