Eventually might pick up a c7 z06, once they depreciate to like 40-45k

Also how long should i wait to change the diff fluid again after the install? 500 miles? After that every 30k? Someone on here said they changed it 500 miles after install, then again 3,000 miles later? Is that necessary?
500 to 1000 miles... IDK what's good advice for how long to wait, but definitely change the fluid after a short while. Kind of a break-in thing, I guess. I can't advise what a good OCI would be for diff fluid after that, but once you DIY the job, it's pretty simple, and there's no harm in doing it at whatever interval you want.

Been busy over here....Wheels and stereo and in a few weeks getting my tranny fluid flushed and a new serpentine belt installed.


Had the g35 rays which I love but after 4 years I wanted a change and have always loved mesh wheels. My favorite being the BBS LM but they are super expensive and tough to find in the offsets I would need.

19x8 front, 19x9.5 rear TSW Valencia. Tires are Toyo proxes 4 plus. 225/45r19 front and 275/40r19 rear. Athough I like the meaty look of the rear, Ive noticed some rear sloppiness/sluggishness as well as decreased gas mileage and can only assume the fat tire is to blame. Will be swapping the full set out in the near future with continental extreme contact dws06 (which I had on my RAYS and love) and changing the rear size to 275/35zr19.


Full JL Audio/hertz stereo.

Thank you for the kind words 2G, the amp is on the other side of the trunk.

Put in my "new" y-pipe from Kahboom, interesting that the input ID on the coupe mounting flange is about 1/2" smaller vs. the sedan, I would have thought it would be the other way around ??? No more Rasp & Hiss, and seems to have a bit more low end, guess my old shredded junker was indeed leaking.

Wait, what did you replace and what did you replace it with?

Been a lifetime since I've read where you modded your car. Had to do a double-take on your SN.

Tried Woolite



I’ve been reading about using Woolite to clean leather and finally tried it - amazing results. I knew my seats were dirty as I’ve been moving but they honestly didn’t appear as dirty as they were. Used 1 oz Woolite to 10 oz water in spray bottle , gave them a quick scrub with a brush, wiped dry then followed with Lexol conditioner.

First pic - cleaned top corner near seatbelt (one bottom panel and rear half of inside bottom bolster)

Passenger seat - cleaned front half bottom panel and front half outside lower bolster

Floor mats were permanently stained when I got the car - haven't gotten around to replacing them.

Love this interior color but it's tough to keep clean.

Had a new 3" y-pipe on a while ago, massive rasp w/ my smaller diameter Top-speed Y-back exhaust. Put my old and seriously shredded y-pipe back on, rasp was much less noticeable but still there a bit. Bought Kahbooms y-pipe from his coupe which was in great shape, installed that today, no rasp and my exhaust is nice & tight now, seems to have a bit more low end pop (possibly due to that more restrictive smaller ID???) hopefully I can keep this one from the shredder
Modding my car isn't on my short list as of late, but living vicariously through all of you mod happy folks will have to suffice

I had my Swift springs, KYB shocks, Z1 20mm spacers, Centric rotors and pads, and alignment done. Pretty damn happy with the results. I want to post a review after I get some miles on it, but so far ride and looks are perfect.
