not today, but over the weekend:

passed inspection and changed most fluids (engine oil, trans, brake, diff.)

car feels a lot more responsive now for some reason. Switched from Redline to Motul...maybe it's just because it's fresh oil.

oh well

Buffed it out with a Porter Cable DA polisher and M205, followed by Meguiar's carnauba wax. It looks like a new car! The red metallic shines through and the swirls are gone. It's a long process but the paint wasn't that bad so I started with M205 rather than M105.

Hit 10k miles on the way to work. Not too bad for a 2 yr old car.

Just ordered all silicone replacement hoses for under the hood! The guys at Z1 don't play. I'm a shopper - they had to adjust a few items, but they beat every competitors price - significantly enough to matter - on every piece I bought! Much appreciated :-) Good job Z1

Powdercoated my intakes and installed them. Also, installed my GTM oil cooler; it's a pain when you don't have the right tools, haha.

I wanted to ask. I put half a quart of oil into the setrab core and put 5.5 quarts into my engine. I started and checked for any leaks. I warmed her up and drove around a bit, then came and checked oil and I'm between "low" and "high". Does that sound right?

1 Ferrari 360
1 Maserati
1 911 Carrera S
5 Dodge vipers, 2 of them being ACRs
2 370z's
1 Turbo 370z
and 1 Aventador

all of these met and drove together from one location to another via the freeways. I could just imagine what the people traveling via those roads today thought
