Ordered 2 new rear tires ( vredstein ultracs 275/35/18), southbend stage 2 clutch, flywheel, and zspeed heavy duty clutch master cylinder and HD CSC slave.

LOTS of $ but clutch is going and tires are about 1/32" off the wear bars.

Something more comfy in terms of luxury/higher quality, thinking of Lexus or MB, either suv or sedan. I'm on Tokico DSII adj shocks/springs with Sparco Monza seats in the Z. I have an Evo X as the fun car now.

Gave her a 4-hour detail for the first time! And polished the headlights with some toothpaste for a quick-fix until I get around to wet-sanding and UV-coating them. She looks great! I found a really pretty neighborhood and thought I'd pull over to take some pics. Enjoy!

wow, i can't believe toothpaste would actually give it such a shine. i've been using some headlight restore and it doesn't give it such a shine.

I wouldn't lie! Haha. It's only temporary, I'm going to wetsand/clearcoat them this weekend for a more permanent shine. But for a temporary quick fix, toothpaste worked great. Make sure it's the gritty stuff and apply like wax. I also applied a wax coat after I was done.

Took a trip to get a door ding taken out at a paintless dent repair shop. What sucks the most is that I know which car got me (a black RAV4), but I didn't notice the ding until after I got home. I was half inclined to drive back to the garage with a hammer. Part of me still wishes I had. The dent repair place was able to get out about 95% of the dent, but the paint is literally bruised (Nogaro Red doesn't take well to dings, apparently). I'll be stewing over this until my next drinking binge.

Finally wrapped the drivers side door. Came out pretty good. No creases really at all though it does look like there is in the photos but there isn't.
