I don't even know how to respond to that

I got locking aerocatch latches so no real need for the OEM one

I remove mine when I got the hood strut. So, yeah if you can remove that, it would be great. (Office space boss's voice)

To all the other commentors re: my use of full road, please go back and read my disclaimer. Anyone who follows my posts knows that I DO NOT ENDANGER others on the roads (particularly cyclists and oncoming traffic) and admonish others to do the same! So, unless it is ABSOLUTELY SAFE to "road course" a public road, I do NOT. And on roads I'm unfamiliar with, people would call me a wimp for going so slow... until I know the lay of the land.

/justification.

Cleaned things up a bit. I tucked a few wires and brush finshed my cubby covers.

Today after 12+ years I sold my Z. It's bittersweet, but I was able to find a great buyer who will keep the Z at the track. Time for a new track car for me.

Remember, they say you never get over your first flame. You will rue this day.

And all for silly BMW spec racing, bah.

Lol, congrats my friend!

Ordering a new clutch in the morning, the disk commuted suicide on me. Sucks it still has plenty of meat on it

Wow, this is so clean looking. Hard to get that high end clean racecar feel. Nailed it. Harness bar, seat and the white/black combo is on point.

Default Heavy, man.

Installed new Gabriel Hijackers on my Z33 in prep for the Donk show season.



No toiletflush look for this kid!









Wait, what?? Seriously? Someone actually believed that?

Naww, just test fit some cheap (read: H-E-A-V-Y!!) whills I picked up for my kid. Psh, four wheels with four different tahrs on it. Oh lawdy. "Hello, Tire Rack? Send me some new rubber, NOW!!"


By the way.... 295/35-18s on these wheels. They actually fit with no rub but are too short by 14mm!! (And yes, car is lowered, unrolled. Dayam....)


Next up: Niz wheels swapped onto '03 with new kicks for the Niz. Maybe.... either way, picking up another set of wheels for me today and installing wheels above or my Track V1s on son's car.

Ummmm, yeah, went wheel and tahr crazy.

New shoes for the Niz, new wheels for my '03 (despite their being boat anchors).



And I STILL need another set of tahrs now for the new whills.... sigh....

Never ends.

Even though this was saturday, finally got around to installing urethane differential bushings. So far i am wishing i had done it much sooner. The Z feels so much firmer while accerating. Now i can't wait to install a new cmc next.
