Anyways I'm hearing "howling" now that its colder, sounds like it might be the flywheel. So looks like I need a new Clutch+flywheel or transmission. 2 for ya'll Questions!
Better start saving money.

My 4-week DTP is finally over. Ended the program with massive shoulder/trap workout. I'm going to give myself at least a week of recovery for the joints, but I'll probably still go in and do cardio.

Warm this weekend. Going to detail the Z, hopefully. Should I put her away? It's getting to that time. The longest I've waited was like Nov 4th or something.

Well, the Z is clean! Washed, waxed, and treated the leather seats. I found some very tiny scratches, so maybe next year I'll invest in a really good polisher or have someone do it.

Not that I'm putting her away, but I wanted the Z clean for the next few weeks until I'm really ready to wash it one last time. Maybe I should cover her and put her up.

I still need to change the oil for both the Z and the new van. I've probably put about 3k miles or more since before Zdayz when I changed the oil. The van will definitely need an oil change. Who knows how long it sat with the old oil before being sold to me? I've got to buy a bunch of Mobil synthetic for both vehicles now. Damn van takes 6 quarts.

Have you contacted MAP or RSMotors about a Tune??

http://www.maperformance.com/

I actually havent. That was some helpful info. Answered some more questions for me. Thanks. No I haven't called map or RS, I figured they would say the same as DB that I'd need to buy a Ecu tuner off them for them to tune my ignition and n2o

No each one has they're own way of tuning vehicles and DB likes the cobb.

I'm not always a dick I just have my days... BTW I too have ran nitrous in the Z had the Zex kit and was doing a 75 shot mostly but have done a 100 before.

Brandon is playing a hockey game, but I'm missing it. Tara is giving me updates. Sounds like he's doing well.

Thx Ryan and Greg, I should be better soon just another major brain and spince flare up..18 injections in all so far, but hopefully no surgeries needed.
Even w being super ill and missing pay from work, sitting at hospital ordered custom upsized 285/74/16's for the Ram....you all know how much I love my rubbers...nothing like a new setup and w yrs of flipping, got a hell of a solid deal.....Scott Ram build near complete, shes a real beaut esp w my new coils, shocks, sensors, dist,rotor, brakes, drums, etc etc, oh yeah and the $2k into the sound system doesnt hurt, minue not having a back seat.
