Blue, you deserve to take a break man... but we will certainly miss you here. You have some great experience with the Z and we enjoy everything that you do on this site. Speaking of that, I am not sure why I haven't done this already, but, since you've been helping out so much I am going to add you to the supporting member group. By doing this, ads should disappear (except maybe the banner on the left). Supporting members won't be shown ads. There are two ways to support the site, one by helping us pay the bills, or second by putting in time to help out. You've certainly helped out a tremendous amount around here. Hope this helps offset some of your frustrations with "the internet" .. FYI, whenever I get to the same point where you are at with technology, I like to disconnect and go sit on a beach somewhere with a drink of choice. m PS: Thanks for recognizing this site hasn't "sold out" as so many others have over the years. I would totally remove ads from the site if there was another way to pay for the costs associated with running it and all the time I put in. If any of you have ideas, I am all ears...

Let me know and I'll be right over... FYI, I really think it's a great idea to put a garage together and open it up to people who need to work on cars. My biggest challenge moving to Seattle is finding places to work on the car. We are buying a place with a pretty small garage so my shop will be minimal. Challenge will be to make it pay for itself. If there were enough guys getting together maybe we could create a club with a shop.

Nice!

We have two themes, one is blue and the other is the graphical color with brown tones. You can pick the theme at the bottom of your screen. If you're on mobile, there's another layout. You can always get back to another theme by scrolling to the bottom and picking the new theme.

New fuel filter time!! If it keeps clogging you might have to look up the line for other problems. Get one of those clear glass filters so you can see when it's clogged.

Outdoorsman, from what I have seen while going through these posts is that you have pretty frustrating situation on your hands. You will find the problem, just hang in there. This site is full of Zcar fanatics, you won't find better help anywhere else, believe me. There are probably a few of them reading this thread and ready to give a hand... but they are waiting for the right moment. You never know. Anyway, *MY* opinion is that you have something bent, or something was installed wrong. My gut feeling is a spring was swapped to the wrong location... or, possibly the shop that sold you the springs gave you 3 of one type and 1 of the other. You should have front springs and rear springs. 2 different parts. I would take out all of the parts and lay them side-by-side on the ground. Compare the differences and look for difference in the springs -- also check part numbers. You might see something.. Mike

Hi guys, I went through the thread and revived it by removing the off-topic posts. Let's see if we can get this project through to finish by staying on topic. Someone else might run into this exact problem in the future and a thread like this would be useful to them, too. Thanks. m
