Today I went on Amazon.com and ordered Race Ramps, 12 qts. of Red line oil, and an oil filter. Guess what I'm going to do?

I bought the car last March and it only has 1,200 miles on it. The way I'm driving the car, it will be another 6 months before I hit 3,500 miles so I'm going to change it now before it gets cold.

seriously. once the clay bar hits the car though, gotta finish it! haha. my car has never gone without a good detail. after i took delivery, i did a full detail and sealed it up good. as for the diffuser, im thinking about spraying the muffler as well (not the tips, the muffler) to blend in with the black diffuser. hrmmmm

Drove her back home from Sacramento. I took CA198 to cross from I5 to the 101. CA198 is the road that motor trend used during the road testing portion of the ultimate drivers car. It is a really nice windy road with minimal traffic. The vast majority of the road had just recently been resurfaced so I could not have asked for a better drive. It was a lot of fun.

Anyway, they somehow were able to buy the 2013 stock Nissan "Euro-tuned" shocks.

Today -- continued 240Z work.

Mr. onzedge, your hospitality is always appreciated. You love all the Z's in your driveway, front lawn although the neighbors may not. Not to mention all the testosterone.

Cleaned out Nissan across the country sourcing these shocks (8 total). Only took a week to clean house.

We always bring some goodies to compliment your great coffee. See you Sat.

All we need to do is figure out the start time. Taylor is going to remove the fronts and take them to Colin's shop down the street to remove/replace the springs using his wall mounted compressor. He is doing the rears with a standard compressor.
