That box is what the PPE LTH came in...

btw, got time next week? went to the auto show today with the gf so couldn't make it.
Won't have time next week will be at the show and driving my *** off! Didn't use that bracket at all weighted just as much as the cooler!

Only thing left is to mount wheels and tires...Wash, wax and shine like a diamond....

Californian a mechanic by trade, friend of the family stopped by to help me bleed some of the systems on my car i.e. brake/ps/clutch....he's been in the construction business for the last couple years. Recently dropped all ties to pursue life again as a mechanic....he said he was tired of working hard and not enjoying any of it!

Yes, new wheels...

So first drive was great! Just have to finish tightening a few things...

Funny things happen today too, while checking my oil level. A neighbor's garage opened and I never seen it open! Glorious 05 black Z appears...

Supposely he was storing a friends Z in the garage...owner (Reggie) says wassup and we go over the usual z meet and greet verbiage...

Got to see first hand a sp1/s1 rep...

Didnt tell him his wheels where reps or whatever cause he genuinely doesn't know... Hopefully tonight I mount the wheels at a local shop...

+1 on the exhaust, sounds super crisp in that vid. Also shot of your son in the driver seat trying to look over dash is slick!
