HA! That actually looks pretty good. And it's not like you really need to adjust the seat back, since it's coming out of a Z anyway.

Some beefed up fuel components to run E85 with my CJM Stage 2 system, Uprev GT and A new methanol nozzle. May not use it on the top end if E85 has enough flow which it should but just in case.

Well that took longer than expected, one is a little crooked but they are one with the truck and still completely usable for my car if I ever can give up the leather... Or my motors go out.

Making a little progress with my HR Boosted Performance turbo install on my HR. Trying to decide if I need to hammer the hell out of my underbody to make this thing fit correctly....see pics below....also the pics don't really capture how far off the piping is. Keep in mind that nothing is tight just finger tight right now but I need to come up with some miraculous space to get the down pipe in without bending the sh*t out of everything.......I don't know if I'm sold on this BP kit yet as far as all the stories I've heard and read about how well the fitment is...maybe its just a HR thing? Or possibly my first build?

Any suggestions?

If I leave a sparkplug under my pillow will a auto fairy finish my work on my car? .....I think I've hit my limit on how much I've been working on my car lately. You know it's bad when the wife says why don't you just sell all your turbo stuff,car and go buy your GTR lol.

I sh*t you not, I usually don't hear her make a lot of sense 75% of the time but when she said that as I was internally loosing my mind over all the stuff I've been doing lately I was like holy hell she's on to something. Surfing Craigslist I find GTR's 50k-85k used and tell myself okay if I get this only bolt ons and tune only then I'm done.... 5 mins later I'm looking up AMS Alpha 10 kits.....FML.

What she isn't understanding is that you will probably want to modify whatever car you end up getting, and if she thought 350z parts were expensive just take a little tour into the gtr section of Z1

No lie, my girl says the same thing, as if thats the solution to everything "just go get a GTR" - if only it were that easy....
