I wouldn't recommend high mileage oil under most conditions. It's just added seal swellers.

Where'd you get your spoiler from? What was the cost to have it painted? I also like the spoiler and wanted to know basically what the costs were before i decide if that is definitely the one i want

ehh i got it off a member for a fair price and paint was on the house by my local body shop. in the classifieds there are plenty of vendor that sell this common wing and as for the paint it should cost around 400$ painted and installed

It's not installed yet I just put it on top of the hatch to see how it would look like, since it has bolts under it I placed rags between the bolts and my painted so I won't mangle my paint

finally got my extenders covered up. couldnt get the 2nd pair of grommets in at the top because the hole was already just a little larger than the hole. i'll probably put them in later. also removed my splash guards (sorry for the blurry pic) to make the car flow a little better.

Over the weekend:
1) Finished installing the coil overs (theyre not adjusted or tuned yet, just in). I had the rear shock stud shear issue, took me forever to try and drill it out and cold weld a new bolt in. Turns out titanium bits are ineffective, i got a Cobalt bit (the type of metal; not the brand) and it went through it in sub 5 seconds.

2) Picked up a set of authentic RPF1 limited edition black with CF centercaps. 18x8.5 et40 (i know, toot high but a spacer will fix it) in 235 tires F and 18x9.5et22 in 275 tires R. Tires are Sumitomo HTRZ-3

Installed Fidanza aluminum flywheel, hd slave and south bend TZR clutch. Thank you joe at Z-Speed for all your help. I don't think there is much more you could of done other then installing it yourself.

Drove the **** out of it at Nelson Ledges - turned 124,000 at about 115 MPH on the back straight. Got about the last good wear out of the rear tires - ordering new skins today in anticipation of the Z Nationals and Barber Motorsports track day in 2 weeks. Buddy just installed some R-Compounds on his Track wheels and is going to let me try them out while we are there. Woot!

Hyper RS? Ebay brand? Sounds HKS, or piggybacking on HKS's "hiper" series.
