He also like chasing ducks on the water. He used to pitch the Huey forward with the blades almost touching the water.

I loved riding with the Huey guys when they flew 'nap of the earth'....

Only chopper I didn't get to ride in was a Cobra...

Below tree top level.

Thought we was trimming trees.

Changed the G sedan's rear rotors. Unbolted the traction arms to clear enough room so I could torque the rear caliper bolts properly. First time taking out a suspension arm myself, feels good! This will help me when I do the same on the Z.

Apologized to my car for not washing it for nearly 3 weeks... back injuries suck royally.

Car got washed + tried this P&S Bead Maker ... JAW DROPPING results!!

Only have this iphone6 (pos phone) photo, but for those that have not tried and want a low/moderate effort spray on, wipe, new towel re-wipe to remove <15 mins invested = some great shine!

Well worth the $30/gallon price, can honestly say if you've not atleast tried it an you regularly blow $ on detailing crap, give this a shot!

One thing to note: The company isn't just buying product from a giant blender that then relabels/marks up 5000%; They actually make this themselves in house.

I had the same reaction the first time I used Bead Maker. Wait until you see it the next day.

Yeah it's pretty SICK!!! I threw a second layer on this evening and also hit the wheels... I'm trying to not sound like I'm hyping it, but it's been a long time since I've been this impressed with car cleaning product given how little time you really need to spend on it.

Rear rotors and pads over the weekend. Centric rotors had a bad hole pattern on one of them so now I'm waiting on a replacement.

Cudos to Tirerack

for not giving me any grief with the replacement. This post would be different if they had.

$30/gallon is a bargain compared to 30 ml of DYI ceramic coat for $75+.

nothing. too much snow and ice on the roads.

Picked up a set of Z1 slotted and drilled rotors from johnnydrama here on the forum and got them installed this past weekend. Will go with new pads soon. Stocks are on close to 39k miles.

Still haven't gotten to the 5" Motordyne tip install yet.

And I noticed my RE760s in the rear are ready to be replaced soon.

Zyonara91 · 01-25-2019, 03:05 PM

I rolled the car back. It's in the garage for winter storage. Checked the tire pressure as well. Nothing to exciting.

Yesterday I had the h-pipe on mt CBE replaced with an X-pipe. I made a quick video of the new sound. I couldn't be happier with the sound.

For some reason the embedded video isn't working here is the link https://youtu.be/vJJLLBZX1IM
