Yeah, my go just needs to just show up, getting tired of waiting.

SRP Racing Pedals - Grid:
~It has been about a week since I installed my new pedals, and thank you Modshack for the DIY and being the first, but I really love these pedals. At first I was not overly impressed with them, but I changed how my feet sit on the pedals and wow it changed everything. I still have enough wiggle room to adjust my feet if they do not feel right, but when my foot goes down on a pedal it stays on the pedal. I got to test this morning a short drive without shoes on and my feet were fine after getting out. Overall I am really impressed, the only pedal I have not installed is the dead pedal since it was late the night we installed them and did not have much light. Not the best pictures, but my POS camera could not find anything to focus on. A new addition to the car this weekend, worth 100whp, is my ricer stickers.

Nope, I am still waiting on my exhaust and long tube headers, though the LTH have yet to be delayed and Tony has stated he is still on schedule. It is the exhaust I should have had almost six months ago, but delay after delay has set it back.
For me forced induction will come after the 3 year warranty is up, even though it does not matter since I have almost done enough to void any warranty I have, but I would just like to wait and see the kits hit the market, reviewed, etc. In the meantime I will be adding supporting mods, oil cooler, clutch/flywheel, etc.

Dreamer, where did you order the pedals from? How did you have to change your foot position to get the better feel. As in where was your foot before vs now?
Over all they look very nice. The car is coming along really nicely. I can't wait to hear the combo of FI LTH and Berk exhaust. I think that will make for an excellent combo!

I thought maybe you got those SRP Racing pedals from a vendor, I saw that you got them from them the first time. I wonder how come we don't see more vendors offering pedals etc.

I think it is one of those simple things that just gets by, it is Modshack who is to thank because he went to SRP to have them measure, cut, test the pedals.

Oh ok, nice! Yeah I keep seeing threads about people wanting hood struts. Aren't them some out for the Gs? could they be modded to fit the Z?

Well it finally arrived, and installed. Berk exhaust is on the car and sounding great.
Install: ~The install was extremely straight forward, no instruction provided, but you do not need any. Basically get the rear of the car high enough and unbolt old and bolt the new one on. Overall it took us just under two hours but that also included waiting for a jack as the one we had did not go high enough. Thoughts: ~The exhaust sounds great, I am really bad at describing it but I will say I like it and that is all that matters. The look of the pieces are great, installed it looks exactly like stock which may be a good or bad thing. Negatives ~I did find a very very small amount of drone in 6th gear at 55mph but anything above or below that I do not hear it, and with music on it is almost 100% gone. I hate packing peanuts so Berk WTF? Really, why did you use packing peanuts to ship an exhaust? I do not have many pictures currently (none of the pieces but there are plenty of those), mainly because my camera died the moment I turned it on to start taking pictures.

Eww you should never use peanuts to ship anything heavy. No bueno...
Why the hell couldn't you get that in before the meet dammit. Wanna hear it. I know FI and Stillen sound good IRL, but I haven't heard a Berk. BTW my roomie likes your [stock] wheels. Guess he hadn't seen them before.

Your enthusiasm seems to be withheld. Was it because of the extended wait for the exhaust? Maybe just didn't feel like using "!!!!" at the end of everything?
