Started the install of my new oil pressure gauge. I went with the Revel VLS.
Its pretty close to matching the stock lighting color. It’s all wired up I just need to
Run the harness down and install the sensor.
I will do that come oil change time.

Thought about Lime Creek earlier this evening, but it's been a long day so I had a drink instead. I've got a busy couple of weeks coming up, so I'm really sure when I'll have a chance. Sending you a PM.

I'm planning to sign up for the Austin Driveway driving course when I get new tires. These RE-11s are almost gone.

The Driveway is awesome! I ran there at NF 2015. Bill and Scott are super chill.

Finished doing my headlights. Only a few hundred dollars worth of damage

Got new tires put on this last Friday and have a z1 poly transmission mount on the way.... also seems that the suspension needs replacing as it wasn't quite up to the task of handling the curves on the new tires and had the driver side front Shock crumple under the pressure. New brake pads are also on the menu so definitely have some projects in the near future lol

Added in the carbon fiber nismo shifter, GTR start button and GTR dome lights (showed comparison for fun). Definitely a nice little bump to the interior, but I will say, this shifter is much smaller than I anticipated. I like how it feels shifting but I think I like a little more girth...I’ll get used to it lol.
