the black paint on my exterior door handles I painted last year is scraping off so I ordered some carbon fiber door handle covers to match my carbon fiber B pillars. Will put on this weekend along with lowering the rear of my car. I also washed it yesterday so it looks nice and fresh!
I paid for it, registered it for the first time and drove it home!!
Tomorrow morning at 8 new rubber goes on, then to drop the oil and spill some amsoil in it with a new filter and then I am going to detail it.
Then it is drive time boys and girls.
Today was a nice 45 minute ride home some highway some main roads and some back roads, just a fun ride with a huge smile and my adult daughter smiling with me as we cruised in the new ride.
I drilled an additional hole in each side of my rear sway bar yesterday, decreasing the lever arm length just like an aftermarket adjustable sway bar. This modification makes the bar behave more stiffly. The holes I added were about 3/4 inch forward of the stock holes, and I'll be adding some Nylock nuts as well. Using the stock endlinks, I was able to rotate the bar slightly from the stock orientation and connect it. It still moves through its travel without binding. The car has noticeably less body roll. It handles more neutrally at the limit, and drift initiations are somewhat more tail happy now. I highly recommend this mod to someone who thinks they may want a stiffer rear sway bar. Tonight I'll test how it behaves in drift transitions and have a fuller understanding of the difference it made. I think I'll hold off on buying the Hotchkis bars for now, and take care of some other mods before them.

As promised. Sounds better than I imagined, just like everyone says. Much different in person than on video. I'm very happy with my choice!
looks like you still have cats...test pipe that bisnich and really wake it up. the Nismo exhaust sounds great with cats, but with test pipes...mmmm love mine. but, this reminds me that now that it is warm out, its time to get under the car and shine up my S-Tune. lots of elbow grease is going to be needed.
