First one. Nice work

That's kinda why I got the early reservation: few days of down time to relax before things kick off.

Oh noes!

Good luck on the repairs

Finally got done retouching my photo from over the weekend after a fun spirited drive. Got my Swift springs and STM exhaust installed.

Can't thank Wheels3309 here on the forum enough. We both definitely learned a lot doing springs. Mainly that a spring compressor needs to be compressed beyond hell to tighten a Swift enough to put the top hat back on. Got scary for a little.

Here is my shot. I should have his Nismo edited and up by the end of the day. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous car. Photos don't do either of ours justice.

Shot came out nice dude! looks much more ominous than it actually was lol!

Yep... definitely learned a lot from that exercise... it'll make the installation of mine that much easier when the time comes!

It was a fun day.

Your car definitely has a nice stance now and the proper sound as well!

I'm tweaking the shot of your car now to look as stormy as mine. A little tougher with your car being white. haha.

That was a wicked fun experience. I may do some research on different spring compressors though since theirs no way we should have had to compress them that far.

Hopefully next time we can do a truly proper cruise when the roads aren't soaked. I was struggling for a bit with the rear coming loose. I never saw your car lose traction. I was in awe haha.

Come to NY and tell me to get them tinted. I'll let you pay the tickets for me when I get one every other week. I'll be lucky to get away with my exhaust. The cops here don't mess around with stuff like that. Makes my life miserable.

It's useless to get legal tint since it's only 70%. Yet the rear can be whatever. NY makes no sense....

After loosing my clutch pedal at the track (high plains raceway near denver) I finally bled my clutch.

Problem solved (I have the zspeed CSC so I wasn't too worried).

That CSC gets hot though ! I'll have to be more consistent in bleeding in new RBF 600 before track days.

I ordered the z1 clutch upgrade (fork style throw out mechanism) on the drive home from the track and have added it to my backlog of upgrades for fall when I hanger the Z for winter.

Here is Wheels3309 shot!!!

Solved my exhaust problem. Put one side on the curb, borrowed tools from MAZOC, a hydro jack from fontana folk and jacked the other side... plopped a brick under the wheel to keep it from falling and a block up front as a wheel block.

Gf helped lift the exhaust as I was under to reattach the muffler section... so much for exhaust competition
