After being on the road so much the last three years (I was gone about 10 months total out of each year) Now that I have PCS orders I finally got her out of the garage and fixed. Had problems starting up. The chip in the key had gotten ****ed and never sent the signal to the anti-theft. Also the clutch switch needed replacement.
The wife originally wanted me to sell my Z before we moved to Japan but i was able to convince her to let me keep it. And my parents have room at their house to store it. (We will already be storing her car through the Gov).
I felt so great getting back in her and driving around. I thought I'd have problems driving stick, since i havent in the three years, but it was like riding a bike.
Awesome my friend. Good story, and thanks for your service to our great nation!
ran with ADSI group for autocross few weeks ago. was a blast. definitely addicting. i did learn that my front tires were under inflated. and my rear sway bar settings were too stiff. I was getting a LOT of understeer. Getting a few pointers from other runners i was able to shave off 5 seconds off my total time on my last run!

I finally got around to adjusting the beam on the new left headlamp I installed a few months ago. It's amazing what a 1 inch difference when measuring 3 feet from a wall makes. I can see the road much better now.
Oil and filter change...love getting it done before the sun is fully up.

What a clean car. Which reminds me, I need to order some Project Mu oil filter and Motul motor oil. Off topic, but I am still amazed that Rhino Ramps(?) can support the weight of a vehicle when it's made out of hard plastic.
@zakmartin Note taken. I may open my headlamps to reseal, and one lamp projection sits a tad bit lower than the other side as of now. OCD-ness

Some things that I had to dig deep and quit thinking about and wishing that it were all done:
Beauty of a day so I washed it well even underside of hood and certain areas in engine bay, wiped it then started a wax job; did hood and nose of car, mirrors, wing and rear bumper cover, axle back of exhaust polished, also underside of hood and detailed engine bay and will finish in a day or two. Detailed main areas of interior, not a full tilt full interior job, but it looks real clean.
Always nice to know that you got that far doing the major clean attempt!
*Did oil change (4 qts. Mobil 1 full synth. 5W 30 and one qt. Polydyn TX7; Bosch filter) last week, so that to is always nice to get done!
