Nice, fancy bottles

Metro Vac Sidekick huh, for drying? Would beat the 10 + little towels I use on every washing

Yes!

So I have the FI CBE with Carbon Fiber Mufflers and 18" resonators. I sometimes felt like I wouldn't mind it a bit louder but felt 12" resonators would maybe be too loud and I went 18" as its the best option to keep the cabin fairly quiet.

This was like the final piece of the puzzle.

Adds even more to the nice deep exhaust note of the FI and NOT a hint of rasp! Its sounds much meaner but not over the top louder, you can notice it, it just adds to the current note of the car.

When the mechanic went around the block, I didn't know they finally got it hooked up...I just heard beautiful notes and ran outside...I drooled.

Plus I have heard a 370Z with same FI exhaust (but SS) different HFC...did not sound anything like this..got more high pitched

So i am 100% happy with this, crossing fingers for no leaks, but super happy

Anyways, worth the effort for me

Sounds amazing, more rumble/burble, better low end response! That low end torque is back. I can get the tail sideways in 2nd with VDC on!! haha, so ya, very happy with this mod.

Monday I get Uprev and dyno, so hope to really fine tune these mods and see a nice gain.

Yep, those demon bolts are a bugger. It's all good for you now though

First I blot with a 2'x3' waffle weave towel (no wiping!), then I use the leaf blower or, now the sidekick and a 16"x16" waffle weave to get the water out of the crevices. Works like a charm.

The bottles are fancy, the sprayers are very nice. The best thing is, the products work very, very well.

Yeah I started really feeling bad for the mechanics but these guys are awesome. And ya, now no longer an issue lol.

I had my beach volleyball league tonight and missed my first match, so that sucked. But the drive to the beach courts was awesome!

Its the damn hatch that gets me the most, its the first thing I do, open it up then start drying

We often compete against guys who use PowerPoint and screen shots and "blah, blah, blah" to prove business cases -- Lazy, Lazy, Lazy.

When we try to talk people into spending 6 figures with us -- which takes many months, we really want to prove they should.

Mr.onzedge, glad to hear it went smoothly…
