I heard my turbo spool for the first time in over a month...I also took my bodykit off

Why'd you do that? (remove the bodykit)

Yeh I was pretty stoked when onzedge tosse me his keys after the photo shoot to drive a couple of miles of surface streets. I't s not often to get see and feel the different setup's. His Berk CBE def had the hp gain over my Nismo CBE and the short shifter is on my next mod list. The difference in sways Stillen/Hotchkis, could not really tell going straight line I was more interested in the DD driveability and they are the same contrary to what I read on this forum 1.5 yrs ago when deciding which to go with..... Michelins are smooth and quite, straight line bumps do not jarr the car because of the tighter sways...which I was surprised. My Stillens are set to stiff. Do not get to wring it out and he probably will not let me go there with his car...maybe one of these I can ride copilot while Colin drives mine for a comparo, since he has driven his dad's probably many times.

As far as camber and toe, I tested some experimental setting from Mr Kenchan and RCZ but....reverted back to the low side of OEM settings...due to the jarring on every bumb...as in toe thrown out from too close to zero on the toe...It probably has something to do with my spacers also 20/25 on 265/285 tires RE11's....dunno...Not experienced enough in that dept to give good feedback. I can say running on the light side of OEM camber/toe is perfect for me.

Long winded....sorry.

Motoring to see J Edgar this morning. Then the normal weekly grocery shopping and then football and a nap.

Man I miss the Strand at Manhattan Beach, they have redone it since I was there. Favorite for the beach cruiser and B&B watching.

Happy Sunday to all!

zforce- :tup: sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. :D my roads are too straight to really call for swaybar change unless i did something else with the suspension setup.

garage or music room. mostly was in my music room yesterday. :rofl2: im about 2200 miles NE of LA. i know cause ive driven it numerous times (before kids). :icon17:

Well, going out for lunch. Then headed back to the dealership to have them take a look at these stains under the clear coat. Fortunately it is only the rear hatch that is really affected, although if i look hard enough I can find it on the roof as well.

Busy day, somewhat

Today I changed out my transmission fluid to MT-85. Very nice shifting now. Not leaps and bounds but much better. I also put my track numbers on today. I have a two day track day at Road Atlanta on the 26 and 27th.

Big thanks to Mike for making these for me.

Waiting on the service manager to get back from lunch. While I've been waiting I watched one person do two complete circles looking at my car. First time I've seen anything more than a glance.

spohn - nice decal! :D

so this person noticed the stains and started looking for others on the car? :confused: :icon17:

I don't know. They just took it to wash it off, then the service manager is going to check it over. The only thing that bothers me is the bit on the hatch

wow, that was fast! are they doing a real paint job (bodyshop) or touch up type airbrush paint? :eekdance: :confused:

Well, they are going to repaint it at the body shop free of charge. The service manager said this is the first time that he has ever seen this. So next Monday, I drop it off and hopefully the problem is taken care of. From what I can tell it will be going to the body shop, although I'm not sure how they are going to take care of it. I'll have to wait and see what the results are.

yah, if they tell you pickup the car in 3 days then it's a real paint job. (good)

if they tell you to wait for 2hrs then it's a touchup job. (bad)

What would be awesome is if they repainted the whole car instead of trying to blend it.
