O and I went to my brothers house this morning had to stay with his daughter so he could use my honda and pick up the remaining parts of his mustang from the body shop.

His paint job and body work cost the same as my Z times how many cars are sitting in my driveway/yard.




I don't know how he is going to put it back together I was almost afraid to be in the General vicinity of it.

All I did was use a wire brush on the drill... It will not really be seen on the car so im not going to get crazy with it. Think I will probably paint it black actually.

Ordered megan ball joints and kinetix rear camber and toe kit plus SPC toe bolts from IPP. Also ordered new oem sway bar bushings for front and back from CZP.

Kyle at IPP price matched the ball joints. I enjoy his service and will probably keep most of my future business with IPP.

By the way how much did it cost you to get those handles professionally painted? Just curious. What color? Got pics?

For the last couple days I've been working on custom 350z turn signals for my car. I finally got them all back together and wired up. I took a few videos of the different modes.

• Hazards with Reverse
• Hazards
• Turn Signal

I'd love to hear some thoughts and opinions.

Here's the link the the videos: https://goo.gl/photos/aKRAfTivH8T4TzdS6

Those look great. I like them the way you have them set-up. The sequential flash is cool.

Took off timing cover, it was more of a pita then I imagined it would be.




One of the screws on the passenger side chain guide was almost completely unscrewed, found that interesting.

Nice shot of the guts. I really hate Nissan/Renault for the water pump configuration.

I pulled the chain and the tensioners off and then pulled the bolts for the water pump... That **** wouldnt budge... For some reason I forget that everything is super glued and bolted.
