wow... I thought the miniaturization was a side effect of the vicodin i'm taking... Whew...

asides from that... The parts look great. I can't wait to see the results of them installed.

Picking up where I left off...

First, I managed to re-install my pc680 after work today... turned out i had a warranty issue on my battery - had an internal short... what luck i'm having ! here's the finished product


The HFCs arrived today too ! Now, I realize how, umm, selective you folks are regarding the photographic backdrop so I decided to pose them on top grade granite! I also tried to take a pic that shows the material inside the HFC



Finally, here's the most important pic I took tonight !... His first two words: "car" and "daddy" !

Not sure yet, Zeto... but as soon as they are off the car, I will weigh them and share results... I'm guessing about 10-15 lbs all together

Not bad... Do you have the weights for all the other components you removed? Sorry for being a pain but I'm considering putting the Z on the Jenny Craig diet

At some point, I'll weigh all the stuff I have taken off and post it in here and on the weight reduction thread... the wiper assembly was hefty... guessing I've removed about 150 lbs total... by the way, despite all the stuff I've removed, the cockpit itself is 100% in tact and still looks great... with dark tinting on the back window, nobody can tell the car is partially striped

Update... I just ordered coilovers from Mike at DDM! After some research, I'm convinced these are going to be the best compromise of price-performance and reliability. I also like that they are serviceable and adjustable in every way.

I was going to say something about the photos of the parts. Looked like a bunch of toy parts Cant wait to see your results.

Nice Granite. Keywest brown? Looks like a Quartz material.(deals with Cabinets)
