some goodies are on their way to me now.
-new 3' exhaust
-new bov

i'm still looking for an EBC, and probably going to have a TID made for me this week.
Also, drive-shaft is in the shop getting dynamically balenced ONCE and for all :p
Car will be back on the road by middle of Feb... hopefully.

Got to go for a very foggy drive in the car tonight. Love the new steering, brakes are gonna need more bleeding again however. This thing is great, the fast steering has made all the difference with being able to catch oversteer before it becomes excessive. This was my first good burn with it and it was still a shake-down, but I managed to get it pretty hung-out a few times and it was lovely. I need to re-aim my headlights however, couldn't even use hi-beam.

high beams.. pushhhhh.. over rated!
nice sunny day today dammit i wanna go for a nice drive!

RZ350 01-31-2005 06:29 PM

But my low-beams were where my hi-beams normally are. This wouldn't be a big deal if I wasn't on a very twisty road in the fog, normally I prefer the lows in a good for. Needless to say it was the scariest experience I've had at the speed limit for a long time.

yea... unfortunatly i got a FC. I'm kicking myself in the ass for it too. I really wanted Jeff's car. i'm stupid and i miss my fb. I'll get anopther later.

RZ350 02-03-2005 05:39 PM

Bummer! Watch out for the shady wiring that some of them have. It seems that carbs are the shitty part of 1st gens and wiring is the shitty part of 2nds. Bring it out anyway, you will run literally in a class by yourself because ES doesn't get much action.

True about the FC's wiring but the Carbs weren't tuned right from the factory with some tuning a 12a car can move fairly well.
