Topped up with gas for the trip to the big city tomorrow, now I have a full tank that I need to burn through by the 26th at midnight. (Last day of insurance, need empty tank for the fuel pump install) This afternoon I'm changing the wheels back to stock so I don't have to worry about them tomorrow when the car is getting worked on. Oh, I took a couple more pictures with the new shoes. I promise next year the car body panels will all be the same colour. Untitled by J M Gale, on Flickr Untitled by J M Gale, on Flickr

Finally installed my Invidia Gemini exhaust. I got it a week ago but I've been nursing a dislocated shoulder.

So this is actually Monday. The first lap is under yellow. This is me learning the track for the first time, and it rained earlier.
At 5K-7K RPM's, I can't hear with a helmet on, to what the mentor is telling me. By the end of the day I was improving. First look at Thunderhill Raceway in a 370Z - YouTube

I love it! The shoulder is getting better by the days. Just have to keep doing therapy on it. Thanks

Here is another from Monday at Thunderhill. I am driving all alone (and managed to load the same video three times.) You can see the track a little more since no helmeted head blocks view. It had rained two hours earlier. I meant to move the seat but failed to do so.
