Well.... Sigh

I failed to get the car ready in time for MSR, it was just too many problems...

On top of trying to finish all of the modding, it was just a bit much for 24hrs....


On the other note, I have finished a lot of things I've always wanted to, yet I still have more to go!

(Excuse the dirtiness)

But in the end, I definitely enjoy the experience of a 5.5 gen on coilovers, which is oddly.... Different from a 4th gen. For the millionth time this week working on this car I have to say.... "This ain't no 4th gen." The chassis of this car is noticeably stiffer than the A32 but also noticeably heavier, but with the rigidity of this chassis, it does not feel as big as a difference as it seems on paper.

Also on another note, I have scrapped the "IPL" ideas, I now want to go a 100% stealth modding approach on this vehicle, while reading this blog you'd think, "wtf?" But in reality, no one knows what the hell this car is stock to even compare with, so I can fool literally everyone that right now as it sits... That the car is 100% stock.

I'm going fully committed to this route, buying an OEM Infiniti Sport "S" (To keep things subtle) and the JX35 engine cover (Ugly, but it's not expensive, it's worth a shot).

Less than 24hrs till launch....

I have a track day at Houston MSR tomorrow morning and I have yet to finish working on the following.....

G35 brake caliper upgrade.
BC racing coilover install
Replacing the many stripped\crossthreaded lugs
Obx header install

I have successfully installed the following though....

Energy suspension control arm bushings
Moog ball joints
Moog end links
10k / 8k spring upgrades on the coilovers

Seems like a small list but I have been wasting time on a rusted coilover mount which I should have worked on ahead of time.... But I purchased them from what I thought was a salt free environment and under proper care but i was wrong.

Anywho y'all are like kids and only look at the pictures anyways so here....

Bleh, back to work for me
