Got my Stillen Gen 3 intake put on and blacked out the fang area with vinyl. Already did the roof but never posted it.

Finished my paint job.

I applied a second dressing of this stuff on my front seat to keep the leather supple

My buddies put my spacers on for me last night, as they're quite a bit more mechanically inclined and have the proper tools.

Excuse the dustiness, she's getting a bath soon. I've just been far too busy lately.

This is a repost of my own:

I drove down to Laguna Seca on Friday afternoon. The weather was beautiful. The weather forecast was 20% chance of showers by 3 PM race day. My tires work in the rain vs the slick race tires of others. At 7:30 Saturday morning it was now a 10% chance by 5 PM. Rain all day Easter Sunday.

At 8 AM I was at the track and wondering where it had gone. The fog was so thick I could only see perhaps 20-30 feet. Then it started to rain. Some forecast.

Rain we can deal with fog not so much. When one flagger can not see the next they close the track with a black flag.

The fog would roll in thick then pull back, where the track was reopened. Then when the fog came back, close it up again.

Here is my first bit of the day. it does get better. More to come.

I know.

My buddy yelled at me, "STOP LOOKING." when I mentioned the chips.

I guess it's just something I have to live with if I'm going to drive it every day.

Yea, one of my employees just ran into my office and told me my car was in the middle of the road, and finished with "and it's not an April Fools prank." I ran outside, and sure as ****, there it is....with two guys standing there looking at it. The office's driveway has a tiny slant, so it didn't go far. Still scared the **** outta me. I'll be adjusting the parking brake later...and leaving it in gear no matter where I am.

I have had that happen in my previous car - e-brake is up, but either not enough or something and it rolled back, into my garage door.

Never did it again, but jesus I was paranoid from that point on.

JARblue · 04-01-2013, 02:06 PM

That would be the reason I always leave a MT in gear with the e-brake engaged no matter where I'm parked.

Here's a link for the e-brake adjustment if you don't already have it bookmarked

Yea, I saw this thread a while ago, and was actually going to do it...just never did. This solidifies it, though. Nothing was damaged, so I can laugh about it.

Best outcome you could have possibly hoped for when something like that happens. Glad to hear it

I woke up to a rain soaked car, good thing for me that I didn't wash her!
