Thanks man. I have a few more peices I need to snap photos of when I get un lazy :p
Waiting for my bride seat rails I show up too. Bulletproof emails me on Tuesday and said they where being shipped out and gave me tracking number but fedex never shows getting delivery of the part :shakes head: bulletproof is supposedly tracking it down for me now.

Update: actually fed ex now shows them sitting at my front door. Ahh nothing like parts imported from Japan that u overpaid for because they are awesome and your wife drives by the house and notices it sittin there and stomps on the gas in disgust. I'm sure it played out just like that

My bride seat rails showed up today :happydance: I can't install them in the car yet since it still needs to be painted. I am slightly tempted to install the drivers side and then take it out b4 I send it to paint lol of course I won't be able to roll with my Takata harnesses in there or the amuse bar to hold them. Still worth doing? Seeing the boxes stacked up in the garage is killing me :rolleyes:

Was bored again last night and ordered an rjm clutch assembly :tup: im praying this is THE answer to a normal feeling clutch in the Z. I was impressed after reading countless people swear it's there favorite or most rewarding mod and all for $250? I have to see if it lives up to the hype and it's the cheapest mod I have purchased. Lmao It was cheaper that my shift knob :ugh2: I really want it to be as good as everyone says it is and can't wait to give my estatic review that everyone else seems to give it. Of course it can't be without some headache as my good friend galeforce says "it's a pain in the balls to install" within a tight space, but I'm hoping having much practice "stuffing" myself in small spaces I will be alright :happydance:

Finally got a build thread going I see. I still refer to your car as the fastest thing I've ever experienced. Its like the accelerative rush when falling out of a plane, but horizontal. All I can hear through three gears was the racelogic working to tame the beast. Aaaaannnnndddd then she hooks with the fury of 1,000 angry wives and catipults you into the future. This car is pretty legit. I feel bad for anything trying to outpace it.

I think you will be impressed :tup: Although the OEM clutch pedal is a piece of $hit, so that's not difficult :ugh:

I recommend you find something to lay down next to the car that is about the height of the interior door sill and sturdy enough for you to lay on. In this fashion, I was perfectly comfortable for pretty much the entire install :twocents:

:inoutroflpuke: you always have had a way with words my friend. I'm really counting on these Toyo r888 in 345/30/19 to take some of the work out of the race logic for more butt puckering action in the first few gears. Kind of my brothers experience when i took him out and the car hooked really hard around 4500 rpm in 3rd and snapped his neck back in the seat :icon18: I just heard him scream oooouch :p

Thanks for the heads up Jar. I did read in a thread someone used milk crates and a blanket which sounded like a kick *** idea. It may have been yours. That's the only thing I'm hesitant on is the hurt im gonna feel after/ while installing this. It's been having me debting on having someone do it and paying the $100. Only this idea of having something to lay in and not be completely wrenched under the dash gives me hope

I actually used an undercounter file cabinet made of wood. I laid a thick blanket over it for some cushion. It made it very easy to get in and out, and I was quite comfortable for an extended period of time in the footwell. My fat, stubby fingers gave me a more problems than the working position lol
