Just ordered wheel spacers.

Not sure if I should go HFCs and CBE, 2DIN/Sound, or hang onto my money next? :icon14:

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 :tup:

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 :excited: about installing it :icon17:


Also, I received another shipment of car care products :yum:

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)

Truthfully, the reason I said that was because it was such a pain to get the drain plug and filter off. I eventually got the drain plug out, but couldn't get the filter off. I'll take it to my mechanic to change out the filter. Hopefully when he changes it, he won't tighten it so much and make it easier for me the next time around.

First oil change from the factory on any new car I have had has been a bit tough. Some I have had to drive a screwdriver through the filter to be able to twist it off. After the first, the rest are relatively easy.

Strap wrench FTMFW!! They have ones specifically for oil filters, too, though I just use one with a simple rubber strap. You shouldn't pay more than $10-15 for a decent one :tup:

Driven 21k miles
Been in 1 accident(all fixed, no mechanical damage and wasn't at fault thankfully)
No speeding tickets!:tup:

The day before I had my car a year I was almost at 25. Then someone lost a pole on the fwy and I came into contact with it at 75mph. I had nowhere to go. Pics are in my album....it was a sad sad day. Especially since I had just spent the money for my co-pay on a credit card payment lol. But all is well with the beast!

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..

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}
