i was like ha? :confused: why do you need my garage door open? guy was like so that his boyz haz room to smooth out the cement, yo. i was like WTF yo, use your longer pole to reach the center, im not opening my garage for them to be swinging around their concrete squeegees on a stick or watever it's called 10inches away from my G and Z. :eek: and i know those guys would be smearing their hands and arms on my cars while the mixer poured the concrete. and checking out my girls (no not man boobs, i mean my cars :icon17:)... wtf.

so i told him nicely "guys, i got 2 sports cars in here..." and their leader was like 'oh ok. no issue then.' :icon14: :confused: (please dont confuse the kenchan)

so off they went. looks pretty good. need to let it cure for 4 days. :p

Hopefully my last day driving this godforsaken rental. My Z should be back from the body shop tomorrow.

Ordered a SS spoiler in black to add to some of the two-tone paint I'm doing.

Shopping for a Nismo TI shift knob for a better feel. Also researching short shifters if anyone has ideas.Hopefully will have time to get my tint done before going to the meet tomorrow here in Houston.

It probably had more to do with the transmission than the shifter. Mine feels just fine and an improvement over stock.

thought about peeling out with the jacket still there, but just went out and asked them nicely who's it was and that i was going to hang it up on the railing 2 ft away. i dont want them to come back later and **** with the z.

Still perfecting. Went to zero toe up front, might go back to toe out. Thinking about going really aggressive for the dragon.

Now at 1.5 camber front, 2.6 rear. Need to pick up some front camber arms to get more adjustability up front.

Dude, come on now. I got mine off by hand -- even though I had tools at the ready. Must be all of that right hand/knob grabbing practice I have had in my life. It finally paid off!!!! I knew it would.
