So, a diary of what and when sounds like it might be handy someday.

Minus two weeks: Download all 2010 and 2009 manuals in PDF for iPad
Read all Car and Driver articles

Start: 2009 370Z Touring Sport + Nav automatic
New Re050 tires and oil changer from dealer

Install License plate frame/protector on front plate, replace dealer's too long screws

One week: Scosche passport to charge my iPhone, Amazon
4GB Compact Flash, A,axon (Just enough for 511 MP3 files)
Lexol Leather cleaner and conditioner, Autozone

Penny fix for not opening hatch

DSLR pictures taken, not post-processed yet

Two weeks: 80GB iPod classic, eBay - holds all my music
Sticky pads to hold iPod and DSLR, Amazon
Griot's garage Leather cleaner and conditioner and scent
2009 370Z brochure, eBay
Carbon fiber wrap key fob for practice

200 mile round trip for concert
First use of DRM (cool!)

Three weeks: K&N drop-in air filters, Amazon
First WOT run from 15 to 70 - needs very fast shifts

good luck on your build!

wilsonp · 09-13-2010, 07:47 PM

Thanks!

Added custom sunshade (fits very nice).
Added 370Z valve stem covers (not sure black was a good choice)

wilsonp · 09-29-2010, 01:17 AM

Per simota1's wonderful find, created my own black sticker for the multifunction display.

you should get an exhaust asap

wilsonp · 09-29-2010, 06:00 PM

Not planning on an exhaust, just Berk HFC and Tanabe Y-tube.

370Zsteve · 10-10-2010, 04:21 PM

Get an exhaust! Of course there is always the alternative that's become quite a crowd favorite here.........

What is washer mod??

wilsonp · 02-13-2011, 11:12 PM

Had first oil change

Forgot to post LED lighting kit installed a while ago

Added spacers to improve interior LED dispersal and yellow/red filters for orange interior lighting - switch to orange later
Just bought some black handles

Red__Zed · 02-15-2011, 12:01 PM

^ love your NSX

wilsonp · 02-20-2011, 11:01 PM

Thanks, it was a lot of fun when it wasn't in the shop, but everything costs more.

Just re-did the interior LED replacement lights with a new orange filter glued to the top and some stacked half 3M clear bumpers in the corners to create stand-offs. Don't have the brilliant blue-white interior, but a pretty bright orange one now. Looks nice.

wilsonp · 04-01-2011, 06:40 PM

Added the inside air filter - not too bad with the excellent DYI, though the air flow felt a little lessened at first.

wilsonp · 05-28-2011, 07:49 PM

Did another penny install after TSB new springs stopped lifting.

Installed kellyefields hood dampners kit.

Forgot to mention got winter all season tires (Continental DWS) and swapped back to RE050 for summer.

Did Griot's leather conditioner on seats, steering wheel, and some Leather interior scent.
