Did it already. Both Renntech and Rennlist. Already downloaded a few DIY maintenance guides so I can check the fluids, replace some filters, and change the oil. As mentioned above, this will give me a good starting off point so I can track my own maintenance from there.

Even if i am doing 80-90 i still get 25 or better. Don't worry about changing the cabin air filter, what's the point? i couldn't even tell you if the wipers work either.
Just an fyi, these seats are very comfortable for those 3-400 mile trips. They are much better than the tsx.
If you don't already have a windscreen, invest in one. It is well worth it and you can tolerate highway speeds with the top down.

Finally had some time to clean it up a bit yesterday. Only thing left is to figure out how to put the hardtop rack together
I also was able to get it registered yesterday as well... so can't wait to start enjoying it. I have a race this weekend but we are heading to the beach afterwards, so that will likely be our first trip in it...
Anyway, few quick pics from the driveway. Not the best quality as it was late in the evening (around 7:30pm), but you get the idea
. You can see the FJ in the background as well. Figured while I was washing cars I may as well give that a once over since it was filthy and hadn't been washed in some time...

. Lowered it to 43/38, but after some reading today I'm going to go with 40/35 which is what Porsche recommends on the 997 on 19"'s... so that should get me closer. My buddy is coming over and we're about to pop the hard top off so I can use it as a convertible

Thanks! As of now, June's C&C is on the calendar
Outside of the go-kart I raced last year... most fun I've had on 4 wheels. Haven't pushed it too much yet as I'm still getting used to it (and its been a while since I've had a manual). Also been messing with the air pressures. When I got it the rears were at 45 and the front at 39 . Lowered it to 43/38, but after some reading today I'm going to go with 40/35 which is what Porsche recommends on the 997 on 19"'s... so that should get me closer.

Dc automotive is down your way. they specialize in p-car parts. I had purchased a lower control arm for the boxster a few years ago and it was in great shape and decent price. You can sometimes negotiate prices with them.

A little late but congrats JB. I thought for sure you would end up in a C6 Vert'.
That's a nice pick up though. Someone spent all the money and you get to enjoy the fruits of his labor/wallet.

Thanks all!!
Thanks! Yeah, I'm reaping the benefits from his work. He's getting married, so his nuptials worked in my favor
Cool... good to know. I'll check them out. I also have GMP Performance here, which could be dangerous

Wow I completely missed this. Congrats JB!
I can't wait to check it out sometime. Hopefully you might be able to make the next C&C with it.
As you mentioned above I am sure GMP will be dangerous but it a very awesome way
