Gave her a bath and put the cover on her so she'll be clean and ready for action when I get back from NYC.

Looked at my Swift Springs and H&R spacers and said to myself "I'll get around to putting those on someday".

I have 15mm in rear installed (Ichiba) and 15 mm (H&R) for the front (they are uninstalled at the moment). I need a weekend free to do the fronts along with my springs and camber arms. Weekends have been tight all year for some reason. Stupid work is overflowing its Monday through Friday boundaries on a consisten basis. On a shelf in my garage sit the springs, arms and spacers.

I am hoping the first weekend in June to be free, otherwise I am going to have to do the honorable thing and call in one day and just do it. Actually, I call it "calling in well", not sick. It is when you feel too well to go into work.

When feeling good why should one subject one's self to the assault on one's will to live that work delivers?

Have a great day, Mr. Kenchan.

ahh, i see. since your car and wheel colors are dark i couldn't tell if that front was still at ET47 or pushed out just a tad.

i like 'call in well' tactic and reasoning. my week and weekend's are pretty tight too right now and i dont expect much slowing down until at least memorial day weekend. i hope to get my ings+ front splitter by then and install it.

my dd Fit's front brake pad indicator is telling me i need to swap out the pads soon...i think im either going to take it to the dealer to get raped or midas or one of my buddy's shop and have it done. i have the means to do it in my garage, but rather be spending that time and energy on my Z.

have a great day too!

Finally got to use my stoner complete car care kit..FANTASTIC Then decided to wire up my rear fog..just never got around to it, but man that thing is Bright. I love it. Still waiting for my wheels from Rick (2 months later than they were suppose to be here) hopefully they will be here this week.

Will be removing the drivers side wheels to get powder coated black. Once those are done, the passenger side wheels are next. I also ordered my LED interior lights from thirdgearperformance and ordered a carbon fiber shift knob and black Nismo valve stems from the Nissan race shop @ Fontana Nissan.

CGMMNY- sounds good. those black nismo valve stems are metal, correct?

is there a reason why you're not doing all 4 wheels at one time? hope you're getting the center caps painted too. ive seen some with black wheels yet the caps were frikken 'evybody look over here' silver.

I only have two jack stands so thats why I had to do two rims at a time. But all four rims are now powder coated matte black and I spray painted the center caps flat black. I'm a little concerned about the flat black painted center caps because it chips easily (chip it today). I'm going to have to search for a more permanent solution......
