Morning everyone. Great day here in San Diego to install my new brakes.

Chicken is in the smoker. Found the inverter for my nitrous pressure gauge so I might wire that up.

for some reason saw 2 silver base with 18's today.. one stock one kinda stock.

so boring without any CF accents.

the Z needs a rear spoiler period.

I have a bunch of whirlpooling to do today. Rather be out in the garage

i looked at my GTI today from various angles. im okay with the hamster spoiler. i think im done modding this car. going to just enjoy the car now. dont feel like spending any more money on it.

same with my STI. haven't spent a dime since the rear fog install besides gas.

Finally got the RJM pedal installed.

At this point I'm not as impressed as I'd thought to be. Seems no matter what I do I can lower the friction point. Last thing to try is thread in the Clevis a bit and see if that helps, which it should. Then again adjusting his 0-100 range from 75 to 90 should have accomplished that as well. The modulation zone is a bit longer, which is good, but the pedal still feels like it isn't disengaging until the very top of the throw.

shouldve just left it stock and removed the helper spring.

im not very fond of the early grabbing clutch near the floor (my STI). it makes for fast shifts though.

the problem with the Z's clutch is not so much the lack of feel, it's the random return speeds from the faking csc at high RPM's.
