I've spent the past 3 evenings claying my car... it got COVERED in overspray from when my friend who was redoing my intake piping. He was spraying his valve cover and didn't realize a window was open and was blowing all over my car

So I finally finished tonight. Clayed the entire car and wheels and put a coat of wax on. Then I boosted the crap out of it...hitting 12.4 psi

Shirley you cant be serious

I painted my door handles metallic black today using Paintscratch.com touch up spray. Hopefully it holds up.. I used adhesion promoter, rubberized primer and 6 coats of clear. We shall see!

I used Paintscratch a couple years ago to touch up a red metallic car and it actually matched perfectly and has held up well. The mBlack looks spot on again but I won't know for sure until I compound and buff in a few days. Will post pics

I'm back with electricity and typing on a computer, so hopefully I won't get trashed by any n00bs from NJ again.
Been motoring the crap out of my Z as the post-Irene weather has been spectacular around here.

About to order my RE-11's and schedule mounting, balancing, oil change, inspection and NAV update. That will be a fun bill to pay.
Hopefully they can get the real canberra close to spec without a kit.

Joining the group buy for the clutch helper spring.

Glad to hear you got your power back. Amazing how much we take it for granted and how nice it feels to get back to some semblance of normalcy. Hope all is well up there for you and your family.

After Katrina we went 16 days without power during a period of 95°+ and 100% humidty weather. That was not fun, especially when dealing with damage and clean-up.

It is only Thursday yet it feels like a Friday -- not a good sign. It serves me right for taking a Tuesday off.

Have fun with your hard drive.

i should call in well too...

but i think the roads are going to be pretty busy anyway with college kids coming back from first week(s) of class so i will just go to work.

hummm... i already messed up my install onto the new harddrive while trying it out during lunch..

crap, i need to redo the directories, delete, and start over so that i dont kill my soft-license key inside my ringo (mac) for my steinway samples...

kenchan · 09-01-2011, 03:32 PM

gurney- sounds good. yah, they all dont fit 100% perfect but that's a good idea to add some tape where it might feel loose. i used 3M VHB tape on mine and it's on there for good... maybe permanently...

Fire · 09-01-2011, 03:39 PM

OK Ken what is the difference between "for good" and permanently LOL You do have your own language

I'm going to the local cruise night tonight if it doesn't rain before then.

After I will stop at the ice cream stand

well i meant it for the fang cover as an option to be there for good as i decided it to be there because how awesome it looks on the car.

but then VHB doesn't really let you pull it off unless you REALLY try to pull it off potentially breaking the fang while removing it so this may end up as a permanent option whether i like it or not. the tape has decided for me what i like.

that's wat i meant in my short lazy post.
