The shift knob isn't the same thread pitch as the standard one, so i wouldn't be able to use my fancy custom Ti knob from Lathewerks

No idea if extra wear, as far as the knob, just get another custom one made with the 12 x 1.5 thread adapter.

Well, got the Spc toe bolts in, but not the Z1 bushings. Got dark fast and my file bit was dull so it took forever to drill out the holes. Oh well, at least I got one thing done today. Alignment tomorrow at 1pm. Hopefully adding in the Z1 subframe collars don’t change the alignment after.

Carbotech brake pads (XP8/XP10) and SPL solid differential bushings showed up today

A couple days ago I purchased a small 1700 psi electric pressure washer. Today in the mail, I just received some Chemical Guys goodies for the cars.

I always wonder if I should’ve gone with solid diff bushings instead of white line..

Have you installed it yet? Hotrodz and myself both had to re-tap the first few threads on the Coolerworx shifter in order to get the Raceseng adapter to thread on.

I believe with the way the Coolerworx shift knob is bolted down, it compresses the first couple or so threads and they just need to be slightly cleaned up.

I have a re-threader kit so Ill run the die down a bit. I appreciate the heads up.

I barely get to drive my car these days since I started working from home... to the point where it is a struggle to drive my vehicles enough to even keep the batteries conditioned. For the rest of the DD tasks we take my girl's far-more-practical Toyota Yaris - the Z would be a waste of miles as she does not allow me to have any fun at all when I drive with her in the car.

Anyhow.. I had to go to an appointment that was 35 minutes away of 6 lanes of light-traffic interstate driving and decided to let the snails out for some exercise. You drive something for a while and no matter how powerful it is, you'll get used to it. Take some time away (I think the addicts call this a 'tolerance break') and it'll be your honeymoon all over again.

I may or may not have hit full boost in 5th.
I may or may not have peed myself a little.

As a DD I feel this far too often. Still love the car just wish it had more but I don't need that kind of temptation.

I see depends in your near future. So says my crystal ball.
