Thanks. I was really quite shocked how little damage was done. Basically front bumper and undertray. Most of the damage was done at the bottom of the incline.

I heard from Kevin at Fast Intentions. He believes my turbos are getting ready to ship from Xona. They'll need to inspect and clock them then they'll get sent over to Seb.

Dude, you gotta fix that. I think I've only fuel starved once, and that was when I put the wing on and tried to do T2 Counter-clockwise at MSR-H full tilt.

New set of Carbotech XP8 brake pads installed. What should have been a 45 min job turned into a front caliper rebuild because I let one of the old sets of pads wear down to the backing plate As a result a couple of the boots were torn. Had to resurface the back face of the rotor and went ahead and did new seals and bleeder valves. As a side note, I found it was plenty easy to do the rebuild without taking the caliper halves apart and it was easier to put the boot on the piston first and then tuck the boot and ring into the gap around the piston (as opposed to installing the boot and ring into the caliper and then trying to slide the piston down through the boot).

For anyone interested, here's an example of what NOT to do with your brakes

Got the Z1 long tube intake installed today. It was missing a part on each side but, thankfully, the shop had some tubing hose, and clamps, they could use.

It’s only noon and I didn’t do anything with my Z yet, but I did cancel my tune I had scheduled for Saturday. No point in doing it since I’ll be looking to get into the new Z. I will be taking her out later for a full detail and roam around town
