axmea?'s not-much-of-a-build thread - more like a photo log

Raf, glad to see that you are still going strong. Where did you go to have your kits painted again? I remember you mentioned it during our short convo but I totally forgot.

Hit six figures this past Thursday. Every mile was with a smile.

CEL's been on intermittently and described to the shop what I saw the first time an image came out from the gauge. Thought it was the cap because of this but code says evap leak.

Checked underneath and noticed the muffler butted against the evap canister. That had to be replaced.

While up on the rack, we noticed that the gas tank was dented on both sides. The darn tire shop jacked from the tank. The good news -- no cracks, no leaks, just dimpled bottoms.

Been having shifting issues. Grinding, notchier than usual, stiffer, inconsistent pedal feel. Manual guys know the feeling. Noticed the fluid in reservoir reduced. Filled it up twice in the last two weeks. More like slave issue but went ahead and replaced everything.

Picked up the ZSpeed kit and got EZ street clutch, flywheel, CMC, CSC delete combo installed today at Specialty Z. I must say that this kit is a great option for you to consider. Clutch feels great and allows for smooth shifting. It is lighter than the Specialty Z/RPS clutch that I had been using. Their (RPS/SZ) clutch and flywheel combo is great by the way and I recommend it as well. I haven't driven it hard yet so more to come. I think the magic sauce is the CSC relocation kit for serviceability. This should be the first move when the CSC goes bye bye.
