Yeah, I have a rubber strap wrench. I was planning on using it for my shift knob, as well as oil filter (as I've read on here that it works well for both). The rubber strap wrench I got can't grip it too well and slides right off.

Anyway, on topic. I Dr. Colorchipped a few spots here and there on my car. Might need to add a few extra coats on top as it's not as I expected..

Didn't someone in this thread buy the Evo-R mirrors? I'm interested to know how they held up.

This weekend, I received a Mishimoto Aluminum Power Steering Reservoir as one of my groomsman presents from a great friend

Drove my Z past a black GT-R going the opposite way today, way down in Monroe.

/I wonder if he's posting that he drove his GT-R past a black 370Z today...{I want to believe}

raymondo510 · 03-26-2013, 06:59 PM

Bought her some new Work shoes

PapoZalsa · 03-26-2013, 08:35 PM

Drove it like I stoled it!

Not to get into VDC but today my car fish tail however I believe that correcting the car took 75%VDC and 25% skills....

I haven't driven the Z since Sunday evening so I went home, uncovered her, and went for a drive to the beach

Still puts a smile on my face after all these years!

Ordered some LEDs for the license and parking lights. Next up is some redline fluids for the trans and diff.

Pintsize725 · 03-27-2013, 10:37 AM

Drove her to work and Nissan gave me a shout out.

JARblue A True Z Fanatic Join Date: Mar 2011 Location: Austin, TX Age: 44 Posts: 36,450 Drives: 11 Z34, 98 E36 M3 Rep Power: 2684441	This weekend, I received a Mishimoto Aluminum Power Steering Reservoir as one of my groomsman presents from a great friend ( Click to show/hide ) Unfortunately, my cursory research tells me that the provided bracket likely won't work with my R2C intakes And being that it's my DD, it may take awhile before I can have a new bracket fabricated and actually have it installed. Oh well, that's just more time for me to be about installing it Also, I received another shipment of car care products ( Click to show/hide ) Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax (w/ microfiber cloth) Meguiar's Clay Kit (2 clay bars, detailing spray, and microfiber cloth) Meguiar's Ultimate Polish Meguiar's Compound and Waxing pads (to go with my Polishing pads) Meguiar's 3" hand pad Meguiar's Supreme Shine microfiber towels (after washing my wife's Acura, I have decided these towels are inferior to any of the other microfiber towels I have and I will not be purchasing any more - maybe good utility towels for interior and plastic trim) __________________ 2011 370Z 6MT Sport Gun Metallic \| ARC \| CJM \| Ecutek \| FI \| Fujimura \| R2C \| SPL \| Stillen \| TWM \| Z1 \| ZSpeed \|
