I just came back from Panda getting some grub, and dude in a e class benz just rolled up to me and seriously offered me 20k for my car on the spot.. Pulled out his checkbook to show me he was serious.. I just laughed..

some dude in his 50s.. prolly was pocket change to him, prolly looking for a car for his kid or something. Prolly thought I'd jump at the chance.. Uh.. nope..

Just put the Z springs on the 6mt sedan from my 03 Z , and dropped the G off for tint tomorrow since I'm working. (20%sides/rear, 35%front all the way down) ftw! Gotta keep the heat out of the car one way or the other...for me it's other!

Chris, if you get your car back together so I can come Sunday that'd be the best. Or I work 9-4:30 next week so I could come sometime in the evening next week like you suggested

if all else fails I can use the other side of the garage because I will have the jack stands off the car...already finished putting back on the compression rods. Just need to drop out the LCA and press in my shock tower bushings then im done with all of them.

im going to try and get the rest of the garage cleaned up tomorrow so that I have more room to work with...fix the shelves and what not so I have the access of the 3rd garage for this next weekend

Ha, you reminded me that I still have those too. I originally purchased them from a member and sat on them for a few months. When I finally got around to installing them I found out that the driver's side was bad and needed to be rebuilt or replaced. Instead of creating a big scene I went ahead and picked up the set of S TECH springs to go on my factory struts. Once the factory struts started to lose their stiffness I picked up the MDU's on advice from a few members on here. The MDU's performed well, but the rears are a bit noisy for my daily driving taste.

I have since sent the HKS front strut to get rebuilt.(supposedly takes 6-8 weeks) I recently saw a set of FLEX coilovers on here at a good price, so I couldn't pass them up as they were what I've been wanting since I got the car. All of my projects end up being difficult, but this one is finally coming together how I want it.

No issues guys, glad to lend you a hand with taken care of some of the basic maintenance. The job was easy and it was fun talking to you guys about mods and such.

We will try to make a small little meet with the 3 of us and do the tranny and diff fluid swap one of these weekends. I will order a case of Nissan MTF and bunch of crush washer . I already have the Hex key tool for the drain plug and the fluid dispenser.

We can use Deemo's place and I will bring my tools over and we can knock out all three cars.

Imagine the difference with

New tranny fluid
New diff fluid
New clutch fluid
New Power Steering fluid

Heck do a ECU reset and the BEAASST will be alive again.
