A custom COBB tune would be very similar to a custom up-rev tune.

Very nice. I hope you got the "complete" kit. Mine hasn't been shipped yet but should be soon. No rush anyhow.

I had an arrival today too... cool carbons F&R. The boss didn't know about that so had to wing it.

I also worked something out so my RE exhaust goods will be arriving via Nissan Frontier. There might be room for a few more goodies.

^sounds good. Pad backing are pretty interesting looking colour. The compound certainly feels aggressive to the touch. Wonder about how much extra noise and are they ok cold?

Going to do the pads, lines & camber shims early spring....might consider the changing the engine mount bolts then too. After that will move to the shifter kit, reposition the trans mounts, new xpipe and cans. Oil and diff fluid will fit in there sometime too.

Probably will do the front reflectors too. If I'm happy the rears might be done as well. Would like to remove front bumper and rid it of both the chips and the sprayers but doubt that will happen- at least in '11.

not exactly spring but some beginning of summer ideas(mostly cosmetic mods, not huge budget):

-im gonna head europe to see my family anyways so i'm gonna try to see if i can get a custom AKRAPOVIC exhaust for the G (unfortunately they have made one for 370z, but im gonna check out to see if it can fit the G, normally they are known for motorcycle exhaust but its worth a shot) worse case REMUS exhaust.
-powdercoat stock wheels, matte black.(or g37 wheels)
-small chance but matte 3m all around.
-change taillights and old 2003 headlights.
-mild tint
i dont foresee any engine mods, cops are everywhere in toronto, stock is enough
these are ideas, depends on my tax return and how much i can save till summer.
