Just got comp'd a set of new heim joints from Kinetix being that the older style was somewhat faulty. They are definitly a company that has my respect. Glad to see that copmanies still back their product and are listening to their customers!!! And no I was not paid to say that lol.

I ran out of time yesterday but I at least cleaned the interior and my floor mat.

The Berk HFC's arrived very timely from CPerformance (great price and service) and I was able to get them installed today. The cats married up to my NISMO exhaust and seems to be a great combo for my needs. definitely, a more throaty sound and spirited ride. My but dyno is thinking it there is some performance improvements here.

I am liking it so far!

Got the invoice from Stillen. Spoke with Shawn who I've known now for a while, and I will be adding Stillen's under drive crank pulley, and I'll be tuning it.

Waizzz -- I actually was going after harbor freight's but I can't trust it enough so I went back to this. I'm looking at the P40 or the Nano 3N. Then wax using their carnauba creme or vintage butter. Yes more pads needed. More whites and oranges. I'm on my way to the airport on Wed so I'll pass by their showroom.

Smart man, the PC is more money but honestly after using it I have got the hang of it and I have already used it enough times that I got my moneys worth out of it.

This is my go-to compound:

Heavy Duty Body Shop Safe Polishing Compound

Just get 1 more orange pad and 2 white pads and that should set you up for awhile.

I would also pickup this sealant and a black pad:

Chemical Guys WAC_115_16 - Factory Paint Sealant (16 oz)
