So, google 3M Stripe Off Wheel, and search youtube 'how-to 3M stripe off wheel'. I didn't believe how great it worked. Took it to my new Pearl White Nismo rear and was blown away.

At 120k (now 140) I had to replace my original OEM clutch and did the CSC, Master and flywheel while up on the rack. No failures to that point.

First, let me say that I think you should have long way to go before needing a clutch. I traded my 6-speed Alti Coupe in with over 100,k miles on its original clutch, and now the Z has done 120,k....

Says it all.

I've had a slew of great rides over the years. My life rule for cars/bikes/trucks is like with shoes - get a new pair, get rid of a pair. Memories will last forever.

For a few reasons – all personal choice with no science applied; Stock was 245/275, but I actually run 275/305 for 8-9 months, so 225/255 is in keeping with the normal F/R sizing ratio in my mind;...
