its funny when jason gets going he's "just do this and then cut here and put the bolt under there and make sure you get this washer between this and that. etc etc etc...." and im ah huh, ah huh... i lost you at cut here. lol. he just knows so much and rattles off instructions like he is reading from a manual. its awesome!

I've been driving it for a couple days now, so no problem so far. Only problem was that I was hearing a scraping sound from the passenger when I was leaving but it turns out to be the dust shield rubbing against the rotor. I stopped at Wal-Mart off of I-20 and bent the shield back. Other than that, no problems, but I do need an alignment though.

I had to find out the hard way by having **** come out loose while driving home one day and at the drag strip during my runs on the bottle!Sir, I wouldn't dream of conjuring up such a nightmare nor embellishing on the truth.
Glad to see everyone got there stuff in and had a good time. Too bad I couldn't make it.
I will be installing Stoptechs this weekend at my parents house in Trophy Club. If anybody wants to come out and do some work on their Z, I've got a fair amount of tools.
Tquill, I got your money. Hope the install went smoothly. Thanks.

omg, is that guy still your friend? lol.
Well, he's my best friend and he only came over to help out. He meant no harm and in the end, everything was fixed (I think.................
). The crank position sensor was placed back into the bell housing and the clutch slave cylinder that was hanging on a brace by the stock clutch line is now bolted back up. So, it's all good. 
If and when he gets KPro, I'll be sure to "tune" it for him.

I'm still a noob when it comes to photography but thanks for the compliment. Thanks for being an awesome host and your help/suggestions while I was working on my SPL upper control arms. You too Jake. And Thanks Jason (Nexx) for pizza and drinks 
When is the 2nd Tech Day going to be?
Edit: I hope the "DIY hitch" pictures you asked for came out the way you wanted Jason.

Jason wanted to find out if your still looking for a stock block? reason I ask is that I still have my old block from when I blew my motor if you were interested in it....not sure if you want to make me an offer you can..the pistons are still inside etc. If you would like a pic I can take one. Just needs to be cleaned up.

Your pics look great, i still consider myself a noob as well, but i've found something that helps with determining if its a good picture:
"if it interested you, then you have a good picture..."
the rest is only lighting, angles, and focus.
love the color splash, good job with that!

Yeah I think I lucked out by where my car was in the driveway. It seemed the closer the car, the more time was spent on your car.
