I take it you are now going to keep her? Glad it is all working out. Now we need to get Bobo, Shahid, yourself and I up to Summit Point this summer!

Summit Point, VIR, NJMP, one of those at least.

I'm still debating right now on whether or not to sell the car, but the oil cooler and the air filter swap is definitely happening, and I want to do at least one track day.

I might be able to go towards the end of summer, after I start my full time job.

Remember, its 50 bucks for a Hyperdrive (30 Mins. plus class). This will give you the first experience without having to drop $380.00 for two full days plus gas, food, lodging. You do have to have a membership with one of the track sponsor orgs like Trackdays or NASA. My NASA membership was $40 for a year.

So, before Zdayz, I will have my oil cooler installed, along with fresh filters on my CAI's. After Zdayz and some tracking, my modding will be focused on performance, and almost all of it is non-power related. The biggest outstanding item I want to upgrade is my wheels. I want a second set, so that I can put wider summer rubber on fatter wheels and get all-season tires for my current base 18's. I'm thinking of staying with 18" rims for the new ones, but most likely 18X10 or 18X10.5 in the back for more grip, and possibly wider in front.

Then after I play around on the track for a bit, I will think about coils or springs or a spoiler if necessary.

I've basically made the decision to take Chiana from conservative fun lady to a step closer to dirty track slut.

The only power upgrades I will think about are possibly exhaust and a tune, but I kinda like the quiet exhaust right now for street use.

Well, check wheels off the list. I just ordered 19" Forgestar F14's in silver. They should get here in about a week.

Congrats Al! They'll look great on your Z!

Non Visual work done today.

MightyBobo and XwChriswX helped me install my Z1 25-row Setrab oil cooler (no thermostatic plate). And we replaced the air filters on my injen intakes while we had the front bumper off.

Did anyone put salty nuts in their mouths?

No, but the washer fluid reservoir had to be removed to run the new oil lines, and it exploded all over me and bobo

I was like, "deja vu"
