Bout to go outside and was her now that the rain has stopped, although next week looks cruddy. Test pipe install next weekend :)

Will install later pm or tomorrow... probably tomorrow as I need to put the car up on ramps and its looking like its going to rain.

Looks great, Ken! Your garage is amazing!

Installed parking light leds, working on reverse, gave up on HIDs for today.

very nice sunny warm day out today, took her out to the track..... decided to see what she had..... and gave her some gas..... had her up to 145 mph, and she still wanted to go more haha... :)

Beautiful garage Ken!:tup:

You're such a Griot's whore...and I mean that in the nicest way!:icon17:

Talk to me a little bit about your polishing machine you've got there. I'm guessing it's a random orbital. How much experience did you have using a polishing with such instruments prior to getting that one? I've been thinking about getting a PC, but have no experience one way or the other.

:pics:

Wash and wax

Took out my Kenwood 10in sub and replaced it with a JL tw5 13.5 and a 1000 watt alpine amp.

Thinking about getting the Mighty 500 Watt Vacuum & Blower

It sucks AND blows....seemingly the best of both worlds, right?

I wonder how noisy it is in comparison to a leaf blower??

Thanks! :D

Hahaha yah I've had the 3" random orbital for some time. I also use their 6" for doing my cars. PC has good stuff and more for pro's. Griots one is more for the weekend detailer but can do pretty much the pro stuff. The biggest difference is Griots one has a lot simpler system with the pads and polish selection. :)

Yeah, I use a PC and Flex, along with a caseful of different LC pads and all menzerna polishes... Ken, you gotta step up to the big boys!!! ;) I kid I kid. I am sure you are better at using your polishers than I am with mine ;)

Seriously though, I was looking to get the 3" griots for a while now. For now, I just switch between 3, 4.5, and 5.5" backing plates and pads... it gets me in those corners.

Nice work on the lip Ken!!! Nice and shiney!

Got haircolour on the door armrest.
Somehow left the salon with a dot of colour on my forearm and the rest is history.

Picked up a set of these today :tup:

Sorry, I'll take pics when it's dark tonight. The reverse lights are kicking my ***. I need to figure out how to get the interior out and remove the taillight. I've already broken one of those push tab things.

Good job! Maybe it's a sign from Nissan telling you not to dye your hair?

It's a great job! I'm the dyer, not the dyee.

Interesante...

Kenchan -- nice looking lip and an amazingly clean garage. I feel ashamed.

gave her a good bath, wax, cleaned the break dust off the wheels, super wet shine on the tires, windex... looking shiny

Got the haircolour off the armrest.
De-pollenated her with the California Car duster and put the cover back on.
I'll be shuttling models around tomorrow, so it'll be the wife's Benzo for people and gear hauling duties.

Where are you from? Your location shows PA, but I'm thinking you were transplanted. :icon17:

Born in England, moved around a lot growing up and now PA is my home base... or the place where I keep my crap between road trips and flyaways.
I didn't live in England long enough to develop a funny accent, but the fact that the company I work for is based in London means frequent trips across the pond which results in me adopting certain spellings and phrases.

Huh, double post... :icon14:

^ looks great Kenchan!!! Love it.

I was thinking about getting one of those too since the housing is so small and mucho power for its size. Let us know how u like it when u get it. :D

Yah, I had my earplus on while I was working on it today. ... wacha say??! :D

Thanks. The lip turned out goood. Im real happy with it. Took off the stock front under spoliers for a nice clean finish. I have my jack under there pressing up the lip to ensure proper adhesion of the mounting tape. Will leave it like that over night.

Got my hood damper set this pm from kellyefields. :tup: will take a look tomorrow. :)

Thanks! :D

That CF lip looks so good Ken! I think your efforts were well worth it!:tup:

Went to the convenience store to pick up my lottery tix in my Z.

Saw the most amazing thing on the way out: you know those thingies with the sponge on one side, squeegee on the other that are used for cleaning bug and bird detritus off your windshield? This lady was scraping the squeegee thingie across the ROOF of her Accord! WTH????:ugh2::wtf2:

ewwww kenchan...front license plate :barf: ;)

anywho...i installed my 15mm spacers with 60mm nismo lugs! (excuse the dirty car..got caught in a drizzle the other day :mad:) rear is pretty much perfectly flush. however the front could go for another 5mm or so, but i forsee lots of rubbing if i went bigger in the front. all in all im thoroughly satisfied and it didnt take that long to do with an impact wrench either!

Thanks. Yah if was hard work but you're right, im real glad I did it. Car looks like this right now. :D

http://www.the370z.com/members/kench...-45-32-288.jpg

Yikes! :D. Even on glass I don't use that thing.

So opened up the hood damper kit and cleaned up the brackets so the edges are perfectly straight, corners are perfectly 90 degrees. :p. Will hit it with some primer and spray it matte black. :)

After taking this pict I noticed the bracket was not sitting perfectly flat so put it in my vice and bent it to shape with my pliers.

Chops lets see a pic of those lugs :tup:

hahahaha you saw the word nismo and came running huh??

:rofl2:

Totally!, pics of the car with spacers?

when the car is clean...might have another surprise for the next meet too :tup:

Nice, me too ;)

thing is i already know what yours is...but you dont know mine :stirthepot:

Weather is showing mixed feelings today.... hope it holds up so I can take out my Z and be able to paint those brackets... :D

Got up at 6 AM and was on the road at 6:07. I left my brewed tea at work and discovered I'd run out at home. Few are up at that hour so a new speed record was set. The two cars on the road both pulled over to let me by. I am off to a great Sunday and it's still early.:happydance:
