Oye, I see that my G1W-C dash cam came in! Let's hope they gave me the right hardware to hard wire it properly.

It's not just that...
Here's a list of things that happened to my Z that makes me want to sell:
If I decide to keep her longer, can't imagine what else can go wrong lol But at this point, I'm just mad that my brand new bumper was damaged and I don't have anyone to blame

Today, at 4636 miles, I installed a Tru-Cool 24 row oil cooler. Just the cooler, cuz I'm waiting for some 90 degree AN-10 fittings to arrive. I have the braided line and a Mocal 180 degree T-stat plate standing by. While it was up, I wrapped the lines for the CSC with header wrap and aluminum tape. Also wrapped the manifold flange and Cat inlet area for good measure. That should help keep the clutch fluid from overheating and possibly damaging the CSC seals. The RJM clutch pedal should be making its way soon so I can complete the job. Goal is to do whatever it takes, at this point, to keep the CSC happy.

I commute in to work on an interstate spur. Traffic is pretty heavy until you pass the Military base. Then it thins out to almost nothing. It was at that point the C6 Vette ramped onto the interstate. Tucked in behind me, in the fast lane, and to be nice I shifted one lane over to let it pass. Which it did and pulled away.
Once traffic had thinned to nothing & once we hit a long stretch of elevated road with no on-ramps I decided to play catch-up. There is an ever so slight chance that I exceeded the posted speed limit just a smidge. Blood pumping, ready for a long day at work.

Stillen brake cooling kit Very happy to see my oil temp go down for a change ha ha. Also delighted with the sway bar and the SS brake lines were noticeable.

This morning, I'm backing out of my driveway and the neighbor kid (about 13) is standing there waiting for his dad to unlock their mid '90s Honda mini-van. I put down the window and ask him if he wants a ride to school (few blocks away). He says 'no' and get in the mini van.
Obviously not a car guy... |
