I guess it did rain out here. Hm, didn't even realize it.

Usually we don't get the weather on the West side.

Yup, first rain/snow of the season up north here. Kinda like a real Christmas along with the new toys!!!LOL

Ordered Eibach F/R Sways/ Springs/ Rear Camber Kit + 20mm H&R DRS spacers. Can't wait to get them installed when they come in. Koni Yellows coming soon after hopefully.

I'm tempted to go out and play in the rain if it continues tomorrow... I'm close to the break-in period, I'm sure a few slides wouldn't hurt too much.

Today I shaved down carbon fibre fangs to fit with my Mine's front lip.

I shaved down my chin spoiler the other day - it was looking a little ragged from all the curbs I've been jumping

Curb jumping!

This is the kind of shaving I was doing, see more in my build thread,

Jar, how did your Z1 hood struts fit? I have a set coming...

fullmonty · 12-14-2012, 10:44 AM

Took a video of my exhaust....I've only been meaning to do it for about 2 years

Could be better

I posted a brief review here, in the off topic thread, and in the hood strut thread. Dustin @ Z1 has already offered to send over a replacement locking pin (I think I lost one and had to fabricate my own) and has asked for pictures of the hood bulge. It was a lot worse before, but after cutting away some plastic it is better now and may be difficult to get good photos of it. :shrugs:

It's raining today so I was stuck behind another car so I worked on my line. I felt so in control at these low speeds.

It was only an illusion.

I ordered stock OEM brake pads to use in lieu of my squeeling, dust laden Carbotech XP8's. They work great but so do OEM pads off the track.

I feel like I am driving an old clunker when at low speed my brakes are making an awful noise and heads turn.

I'll mark, then reinstall, the XP's in March, when the track season begins.

Even if by some miracle and I ended up on a track, the stock pads in winter would probably suffice. Heck I ran several events (slower) with them before. I am already dreaming about going back.
