[2016] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?

[madkaw]

Yes it is a clutch diff. It was almost silent using a RT mount without the stock front diff mount . After sandwiching the mounts I started to get some noise- nothing too bad and only at certain speeds

I took my 260Z out to ZNationals Track Day at Road Atlanta today. While I didn't participate in the HPDE laps, I did go on the Parade Laps. I also took lots of photos. Wendy also had her turn with the camera during the Parade Laps.

Here a video of one of the Parade Laps.

Thank you, Guy. It is the same car. I've put some sweat equity into it over the last few years. I think the 240Z bumpers help it out a lot! Those are the stainless steel bumpers from Vietnam.

Installed the Futofab rear sway bar in my white 1970 Z!

Did you drive it yet? How is it?

So did that sway bar come with downlinks ? It's hard to tell how it is secured . I had a hell of a time fitting mine because of my CV axles.

Go to the Futofab website.....click on 240Z rear sway bar.....they have a diagram for installation. You have to drill one 3/8 inch hole. Only takes about an hour and a half. No fitting issues.

[Diseazd]

Here's the diagram....you drill one 3/8 inch hole up through the suspension cross member (I used a nine inch drill extension so I could drill through without removing the suspension cross member), then bolt the"L" bracket onto the cross member, then the flat base plate and bracket (with bushing). The end link goes through an existing hole in A arm. 

.......and yes Patcon, I have driven it and it really flattens out your hard turns IMO.....cheap handling improvement and an easy installation.

[madkaw]

How about additional noises from the suspension

[Diseazd]

........no noise.
