What did you do with your Z today

Washed off last week's reggenmeister road trip grime. At least I'm getting to use my rear fog light for its intended purpose, right? I know it's supposed to rain again

I know it's supposed to rain again (or did it ever stop, really?) tonight and tomorrow, but I needed my Sunday morning therapy session. I didn't bother to dry it... spot free car wash soap combined with a sheeting rinse actually works pretty well.
A neighbor passing by made sure I knew it was gonna rain and that my efforts were in vain. I refrained from reinfroming him that his walk around the neighbourhood was in vain and he'd better get his fat and lazy a** back to his couch before football starts for the day.

Back to New Jersey tomorrow after I said I'm never going back.

Reinfroming?
I really need to proofread my posts.
It's like when you're about to say something and something in the back of your head says change it up. You're about send someone off with a "take care" and halfway through something tells you to say "good luck" and you end up with "take luck".
I was somewhere between "reminding" and "informing".

I fixed my massive boost leak causing my limp mode (intake pipe came out of the coupler), put the SSRs back on the rear, QDed, and drove down to the beach. Oh yeah...drove to my parent's for dinner and did a 3rd gear pull, aka spin the tires at a 60mph roll. The car is loving this low 70s temperatures tonight!

Drove back from Road Atlanta today. Also found out that the NISMO 370 that competed in one of the races Friday uses stock brake calipers and pads. Forgot to ask what kind of fluid they use.

B&W-i dont think it's bogus but i also dont think that is the root cause of the Z being harder to engage smoothly. it's the latency on the throttle input. i dont foresee changing that spring on my car as ive gotten use to how the car responds, but do plan to flash the ECU some day.

That's weird but I actually feel that engagement is much smoother after the spring upgrade. For me it was the best upgrade for $15.

Spring made a huge difference for me as well. Throttle funkiness was still there, but you can drive past that.
