Waterless car wash followed by full detail.

Finally dyed my interior stitching red. Took almost three hours, but I'm happy with the results. Tried to take pictures, but the true color just doesn't show.

Hope to have my matte finish CF interior bits shipped next week. Once those get installed, I'll take some pictures.

Have a great weekend all! I'm parking myself on the couch for college football culminating in the LSU v. Alabama game.

Geaux Tigers!

I am going to take it to one of the Z-crew's shops and pay the shop a little bit for the time. I did not feel like doing this job at home on the ground with jack-stands, etc. Using the lift and being able to immediately align it make spending a few bucks worthwhile.

Pics to follow.

I just keep thinking "Can't be worse than last time." Last time my best time was abysmal. But with temps that are supposed to be ranging in the mid to upper 60s and really low humidity, it should make for a happy engine.

mjg	11-04-2011 07:21 PM

Camera and bypass kit on monday, tommy kaira shift nob also (that I had in my g35 coupe).

Re-financed my car through a credit union, got the rate down to 1.74% (and actually made 200 bux).

tomorrow i'm going to pick up these JDM headlights i ordered for my 98 subaru legacy, pretty obsessed with cleaning up that car as well.

Masa	11-04-2011 07:28 PM

Washed and waxed the Z and installed the GTR start button for instant +100whp.

Drove back home to run some errands and do some clothes shopping, was able to wash the Z since the Santa Ana winds earlier in the week matched with rain last night made for a horrifically dirty Z (by my standards haha).

Looking for shift knobs at the moment.

Went to the strip, Drag strip that is! Tonight was vastly improved over last time. My best time before tonight was an 18.3 or so. Tonight's first run was a 15.23 :happydance::happydance: I went with another 370 and a NISMO 350. Myself and the other 370 were neck and neck. I managed to beat the NISMO by a little. My times were averaging around 15.4-15.7. Unfortunately no time slips cause there printer was messed up, but i did get a few runs on my GoPro :D Gotta see how well it turned out. Anywho I'm pretty happy, essentially improved by 3 seconds over my first night out.

All of the stuff in my center console and glove box were taken out, rummaged through, and left on the passenger seat/floor, gas door popped open, and doors left unlocked afterwards for me to find it days later (cause we hardly drive the cars). Now I make it a point on my way to and from work to go by them and check on them

That is weird leaving the amps and subs, maybe they got startled from a passer by. I guess it could have been worse. Good deal on the drive-bye's.

Sux, glad you came out un scathed.

Thanks guys, g/l on spring install and likewise on winter wheel swap. Weather makes living on the east coast suck during the winter. I would go crazy having to garage it for 4 months. The good out weigh the bad thou, gotta lub the fall colors, great photo snap days.

No Z action today, installed the valve stem caps, driving around with a dirty car.

Yes indeed! I'll be taking plenty of photos. I took the Z to the Dallas (actually in Plano) cars and coffee this morning. Amazing turnout as always. I'll post some pics up tonight after work. Here are 2 low quality iPhone pics, it's all I got until I upload the real stuff. The lot is huge. By 7:15am there were already about 50-70 cars, yes that's a half an hour before sunrise! You can't even see a quarter of the lot in this photo.

^^And yes people parallel park in front of other cars after about 8:30am when there are no spots left. It gets packed!

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 12:56 AM.
