Anyone else work on their car this weekend?

I am whooped...I did a Nismo diff-cover change along with fluid obviously. I did the rear axel click DIY, messed with the alignment of my Motordyne exhaust a little more while I put it all back together. To top it all off, I did a DIY non-nismo power steering cooler upgrade and obviously a power steering flush. Also while I did all of that, I checked some my torque settings before I go "racing" next weekend at Hyperfest.

I still need to do my SS_lines and brake fluid change/bleed. Might work in an oil change and then do some cleaning of the car since I am also showing next week too.

I am just beat...anyone else get into anything this weekend?

I sprayed my car off at a car wash, and put in an order for some Miro 111 wheels. That's about it.

I feel ya! I did the same yesterday, but worked it out today. I installed rear camber arms; easy, right? Yep... until I inadvertently adjusted the camber too much and threw the toe way off, disabled VDC and made for a really crappy ride (three wheels heading north and one rear heading northwest). Dummy! I got back under it today and used the dirt shadows to approximate the stock settings and matched the toe and camber settings. And a successful test drive was had by all. After I stopped clapping for myself I put everything away and will wash later on. Whew!

Well one of my lug nuts got stuck inside a deep socket and its litterally impossible to get out, and even if i did get it out, the lug nut is effed up from putting a screw driver in it to get it out.

So now im sitting here wondering if websites or vendors sell single blox lug nuts in red.

Plus i just wasted 7 bucks on a deep socket just so that it would destroy one of my lug nuts. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
