The only thing that would have made that photo better? Showing the Speedo at 150 (kmh or mph).



FYI, this was done on Track. My Z will not go fast enough now to match the milage.

From what I have seen just being able to get multiple vehicles in ones garage is a win.

More than half of the houses where I live can’t fit one car in a 2 car garage because they have so much junk piled up. So you are doing good.

Well, some skilled Toyota FJ driver back over the front, didn't bother to leave a note, and was bright enough to stayed parked next to me. Photos of damage to both. I'll run the plate and it's a "Hit & Run" for them if they don't call today. 17 years and not more then a cone bruise (from autoXing)...

Mark.

Update; Its off to the body shop today.

Changed the transmission and differential oils to Royal Purple. Big shifting improvement and putting it into first gear at a stop is much easier.

With heavy rains the last couple of days washing the roads, took a ride in 22 degrees weather before predicted snow arrives tomorrow. (DC suburb).

Need cleaning
New color, burnt copper metallic. Still need to paint the "Corvette" black.
Little love for the brackets as well.
I have pads and rotors on the way, thought I'd take the opportunity to clean up, and customize the brakes. I'll post again when it's all finished, gonna be sexy with my bronze wheels.

Got the Z back from the body shop after it's Toyota FJ attack. All is good, just need to make a small headlight adjustment.

Installed a new box for the 2 10" subs. Moved amps to the wall behind the seats. Previous owner had a free air setup and the sub amp was just sitting in the storage cubby.
