Yah, we've talked quite a few times at MSA, Corona, JCCS, and at Motorsport Auto's BBQ event.

John is the name, correct?

Damn I hate that. You remember my name but I'm so f/n old and lame I don't remember yours. I always enjoy talking with you. How is the Z? I looks tight as always.

I am usually terrible with names as well. I try to associate names with something and I associated yours with John Coffey.

The Z is......meh. I finished a rebuild of the lower end in September and have been doing shake down drives and more tuning. Right now I believe I have an oil pressure issue (too low). Everything is fine until the oil warms up. My oil pressure at idle is a bit too low and the hydraulic lifters start to collapse a little. Switching to 5w-40 and seeing if that helps. The car purrs and the lifters are silent for the first 20 minutes. Take it out, have some fun, get the oil up to temp and you start to hear a little valve train noise.

I am about to install an Arizona Z Car aluminum radiator as well as 8 Speedhut gauges over the next 1.5 weeks.

Heya Hoov.

What kind of springy bits do you have bolts to those gorgeous CCW's?

I love that stance, btw.

[Z-train]

"Springy bits"?

[72240z]

I think he means shocks and struts/coil overs. I'm curious too, see those camber plates, and that nice stance you got to be packing something nice behind those ccw's.
