Morning Ken... lucky man! lol looks like you're going to be busy again!

Are you going to have to order any more parts or will you be set with all your current tools?

i'm hoping it's not german engineering where you'll get an amazing set until it decides to just not work anymore! lol

gl with your bids! (now time to go bid you up... j/k)

carlitos- btw, i wired up a reverseable esc on my sedan rc and drove it around with my kid yesterday. was fun. used a low power motor to keep things civilized. i dont care to go super fast now. i saw that the 370z body is 257mm wheel base where as my chassis is 252mm...

hahahaha, ive kept all the modular type tools to j-brands and the simple tools to wera/wiha which are still my favorite.

but i have to say, xcelite pliers are by far the bestest for pliers

made in the good old' usa.

i do need to invest in a small 7mm hex socket...

the 7mm driver's other diameter was too big to fit in my sedan rc's wheels.

So something in my hatch (I think) has developed a constant rattle. The new exhaust set up isn't helping either.

have you tried taking out the trunk contents? might want to start there, then maybe check the hatch striker position. i hear it's adjustable.

eeks.... maybe the trunk cover? I know when I had mine unhooked it would bounce around and rattle a bit. Especially rough roads...

and now my passenger chair likes to make a small buzz now and then. (I thought it was the speaker before) and the passenger airbag is always on after the 7-sec delay.

Buzz goes away when someone is sitting... i think it might be a loose wire or two in the chair. Kinda like my brain...

Hi kenchan, I think your input would be good here:
