Even the weave matches right up.. fkn A.

Waiting to install pretty things like seats and carbon bits til the car is back from the body shop.. putting a shiny new windshield in it too... and I'll leave the A pillar removal up to the pro.. kills 2 birds w 1 stone.

lol thanks.

Its begininng to be full of sleepless nights and TMJ stress headaches too.

I looked into new exhaust for this thing.. but Ill gladly wait until next year for that..

which will come in a flash, trust me.

I just got off messenger talking to Armytrix and it looks like its either a z34 can of thiers or the Meisterschaft unit for a Z33.. ill have to keep researching.. i heard some Tomei clips today and its just WAY too tonal and boomy for my tastes.. id rather have a cannister muffler than a big straight thru one i think.
I dont want to sound like a Subi.

im trying to track down a parasitic draw.. as my batery goes dead after just 3 days without running.. and thats with nothing really aftermarket installed in the car.. its always something.. fak.

Got the polishing fixed and also got the oil cooler moved to a better spot.
I expect to bring the car out to the body shop next week.

Bracket got revised to hold it up and off the fmic and the tab was removed.. we made a better bracket once we found the good spot.

have you had the chance to run with the oil cooler yet? Or have any documented temp changes? I've been looking into them but not sure if I want the standard 19 or get the larger 25 that Z1 offers.

Having run a 25 for winter/summer conditions , if you are in medium to hot climate I'd say go with 25.

if you are in cold climate and/or not racing the car i'd say dont worry about it.

If you dont have an intercooler, go big.. If you do, youre going to ahve a horrible time fitting a large cooler behind your bumper.

Ive never run the car without it.. But i did have a puller fan on the cooler w a shroud previously and that thing would pull engine temps down like 20 degrees on its own.. I dont have room for it anymore here tho.. Which is fine for now... Even bought a slick thermostat controller for it.

cooler climate but still see some 90deg days, but its tracked throughout the summer, but only as a hobby on HPDE days. Thats why I've been leaning towards the 25. Not heavy or hard track use, but enough that I think I will want the 25.

Yeah I've been reloacting items to try and open up room. Def like the idea of dropping 20deg.
