Its all good, though. She'll be fresh and new again, better than showroom. I can live with that. I don't get her out much anymore, I think I did like 1500 or so miles since last inspection, so other than the occasional show, or get-together, and the occasional sunday drive, She'll be resting in the garage waiting for the grandson to get his license. I did have to tear out my custom stereo install, and all the rear trim panels so they can get the tailights out, so I am planning a whole new upgrade for that going back in as well. |

geez that's it? I think you're putting too many miles on it. |

Was doing 5k mile oil changes, but now that the ride is at 48k, I am switching it up to 3k mile intervals. I went with Motul 8100 Eco-nergy over the Mobil1 that I had used for the last four oil changes (20k miles). Ordered a Blackstone kit and will use it on the next oil change at 51k.
While I was under the car performing a visual inspection on the ART pipes, I noticed the that mid muffler on my Shockwave had a nice cracked weld on the leading edge. No dent, but seems like I knocked something to make it pop. To fix it, I went with the tried and true JB Weld epoxy putty. Comes in a cylinder with the reactive putty as the core. Knead it to solid color and apply. Ugly fix on a nice exhaust, but $6.99 was perfect for my budget on a Saturday morning. And it did fix the leak. Sound is no longer close to open down pipes at full throttle. I'll keep an eye on it, but don't think I'll be taking the muffler off to get the weld fixed or ordering a replacement through Motordyne anytime soon. If anything, I may spend a project day to sand down the putty a bit. I Play Doh'd it up to ensure a nice and solid seal. |

A drive in the Brecon Beacons
Well, it wasn't today as it took a while to edit it all... But recently, took my son for a drive in the 370z Nismo searching for some of the best driving roads in the UK, the kind of roads you see in Top Gear and The Grand Tour... Starting in the Brecon Beacons, Wales. We absolutely loved it! Apart from the sheep and horses that jump out in front of you 😬
