Being responsible is not fun.

Do the intakes, test pipes and tune, you won't regret it!!

Did a few rows yesterday. I like the height of the shifter being a bt lower than oem. Feels nice rowing. Still different than oem and need to get used to it. Feels natural though.

And now I find myself gently stroking the turtle at stops lol

i decided my headlight could use a little tone down so ordered some tint. my Z is silver so should look nice. i dont usually drive da car at night so should not affect anything.

i also decided, after doing da oil change yesterday, dat my Z is still in like-new condition top and undercarriage so will keep her a couple more yrs. im on my 8th yr. last car i sold waz my G35C which i owned for 12yrs.

More pieces came in. Sanded them down along with front lip.

alina is now insured. lol too bad it's amortized 3.5 months over 2... 380 bks for 2 months FKKK lol

on another note... I had this problem. got a little spirted on my launches and well... felt. slow... =( then again I was taking it easy on the corners and on-ramps didn't want to get too fun while tires were still not warm + ground temps being cool.

yah, my Z felt slow too when i took her out for a spin last weekend. give it a couple of WOT runs and should open up. seems like da ECU takes some time to wake up after hibernation.

Took her out again last night did a few first gear pulls. Had a nice peppy feel. I think it's also cause I had it on base map during storage. Was trying to isolate a sporadic clicking noise and wanted to check if it was too much timing advance.

I think it's heat shield or something because it only come out once in awhile and it's only at a narrow mid range rpm band.

Don't get me wrong it's still fun. Just had one of those maybe if we're faster moments
