I didn't let anything go until I had a buyer on the swap, except the nitrous which is still up for sale.

Later down the road I'll deal with power/torque again. Until then, it needs attention in other areas to get it on the race track.

I gave my car a bath and waxed it! Synthetic wax doesn't smell as delicious as carnauba though....I wish there was a miracle wax that would get rid of "clear coat failure" Every time I wash my car, it seems as though it's getting worse and more spots are sprouting up!!

Small update.

Going with slotted rotors instead of cross drilled since the drilled rotors are more prone to cracking under track conditions.

Second, I will be moving back to Cali once AGAIN this weekend.

Took my wheels off and put my stockies back on early for winter. Decided to paint them white to match the snow that's surely coming!

Lol, not too shabby for a couple pieces of 320 grit sandpaper and a $6 can of rustoleum paint! Took me about an hour and a half. Plus it's just a winter setup so not looking for perfection.

Send me some snow when it happens; I want to be snowed in for another week...I got so much done around the house!

That wasn't too difficult to do? 'cause my wheels look like ASS!

It really wasn't and I'm an amateur at this stuff. I started with a scotch brite pad and used the sandpaper just to smooth out small dings and also to get rid of oxidation/caked on brake dust. Then sprayed about 3 coats (15 minutes between each coat) of rustoleum white spray paint and let dry overnight. Plasti dip is much easier though. If I could have gotten white plasti dip locally I would have went that route but spur of the moment decided on this.

Finished step 2/3 for registering the CL. I won't move to Cali until this process is over with. So I'm assuming I will be moving by Sat morning instead of tomorrow as planned.

Other than that, the offer I gave for a local comptech s/c was rejected.
