Really like the Vibrant Red (?) - traded a San Marino red Accord EXVL coupe for my G37 and miss the red.

As a note, if you get pulled over: radio off, roll both front windows down. Turn on interior light. Put wallet on dash and have the registration/insurance out before he gets up to your window. Lots of cops get hurt in 'simple' traffic stops to anything you can do to put their mind at ease will help you as well. I've had all my cars tinted too dark for the states I've lived in, and never had an issue with it. Also, I usually concealed carry for work so I definitely do NOT want to reach for my hip pocket (wallet) or the glove box (where a ton of people keep their guns). Again, never had a problem, and usually get just a warning. You'd be amazed how many people keep their tinted windows up until the officer knocks and have the interior lights turned off. Can't see what's going on inside - officer writes your ticket with his left hand as his right stays on the butt of his gun.

For obligatory G37 content, apparently 2.25" RHFCs from FI are a thing. Z1 called to ask if I wanted those to match the 2.25 exhaust I had ordered through them.

 

My FI cats have a 2.25" connection, mated to a 2.5" catback. This is because I bought and installed the cats a year before the catback. But the flanges and holes in the flanges match, so its all good.

 

Finally did my Akebono conversion today. Z1 rotors, StopTech Pads and StopTech SS lines up front. Feels really great as compared to the base brakes.
What did you guys who did the conversion do for the dust shields? for the front i bent the lip flat and for the rear I ended up cutting the lip off completely.

 

Finally, after getting all my parts on and getting it back on the road after 2 months , I decided to jumped in on a last minute dyno day.

 

Decided to die on me in rush hour traffic. Earlier before this happened, the power steering went out mid turn, that woke my *** right up.

 

Confused as to why the car is being towed with the back wheels on the ground.

AWD should be on a flat bed.

RWD should have the rear axle up in the air or flat bed.

Hopefully nothing gets damaged

 

Finally sucked it up and ordered Hotchkis front and rear sway bars, knowing very well that I would've regretted not getting them sooner.





If you're hesitant on picking these up, don't. I was waiting to see if I could pick up a used pair but grew tired of waiting.

 

First thing I noticed and my anxiety went haywire lol. I hope nothing gets damaged either

 

It was on dolly, they couldn't get a flatbed down to me at that time. Better than dragging it on the rear wheels lol

 

Trunk is quite roomy. Getting these mounted so I can finish painting them.

 

Its even more roomy if you delete the stupid CD changer! Best thing I ever did on my car.

 

Finally got some free time to get a few more things checked off my list. Cleaned throttle bodies and changed the tranny fluid changed both were over due and wow made a huge difference! I also added some 15mm spacers and painted my grill. Next up sway bars and exhaust!!

Wait, is that what that thing is in his trunk? Is that an OEM unit?

 

Yes that's a factory 6 disk changer. My 07 had it and I assume it must have been an option until the 2010 facelift.

It just unbolts... and then I got the top carpet panel of a non-tech car and put that on. I've really got no idea what the hell they were thinking putting that there.
