Had a nice drive to work with the CAI I just installed over the weekend. You are supposed to get a little better MPG with them, but the intakes make it sound and feel so much nicer I can't bring myself to shift at a reasonable RPM anymore, so it seems to have had the opposite affect.

This was the result every time I installed an intake on my previous cars. In other news, I took the Z down to the stadium today to pick up some season tickets.

I did this once just to find a great center channel location for a competition sound system.

As for me, I got myself a basic pressure washer and washed the car. I also polished and waxed my baby today. It was PITA considering a fractured rib 15 days ago. Yup. I just sucked it up today. I know I will pay the price tomorrow.

Nothing done on the car but test pipes finally came in today! Going in on Thursday and I can finally get my car tuned with the Momentum headers and test pipes! Hopefully another happy ending with these bad boys!

Hole in my left rear tire too close to the sidewall to patch. Tires are less than a year old. Lovely.

Fluids arrived today ahead of my mass fluid swap scheduled for Friday. In addition to these, my friend that will be helping has a 5 gallon jug of ATE Super Blue for the brake and clutch fluid swaps

Hopefully it was low speed impact and you're only butthurt, and not hurt anywhere else. Sorry to hear that you encountered one of the many idiot drivers on the road. Be safe out there everyone
