| My Z drove under its own power for the first time in many years! One word to describe my car......FAST....holy $H!!!!!!! Couldn't have done it without this site. Thanks to all those who have contributed. I have tried to support all the innovators of aftermarket Z parts. The amount of engineering required for some of them is astounding. For instance, ASH's planars and intercooler piping......amazing. When I first started to install them, I said, "there is no way these are going to fit!" There are those that know.... On to the pics. SPL rear suspension parts.....(had to rebuild the E-Brakes while I was in there!)
 EBC rotors and red stuff pads. Never used EBC products before.....
 After the first test drive!
 Walk around....
 
Need to adjust teh exhaust.... the tips are right against the tow hooks. Do people remove the tow hooks?
 
This is the first time I have ever rebuilt an engine, installed a clutch, etc.... so I am very proud of this accomplishment. As you know all too well, I still have plenty of work left to dial everything in. Next to come: Coilovers, speedo is not working (any troubleshooting tips?), EBC is not working (I suspect it is how I tee'd my boost hoses very close to the solenoid), alignment, wire tucks (can I just cut off the AIV/stock boost solenoid connectors?), need to get Consult (what's the best source for cables?), etc................and the list goes on..... I even scored a halfway decent license plate!
 Now I need to update my sig! Cheers!
