I'm moving to Whittier as soon as I can, COVID slowing things down. I've been driving back and forth to Irvine to have work done on my car in the meantime. |

Just picked up my car from MRF, and took it for a drive up Angeles Crest. It's feels like an entirely different car -- I'm still yet to fully realize the car's handling capabilities. I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is the new wheels / tires (275/35 R888Rs), or the new suspension goodies (swaybars, end-links, solid rear subframe bushings, monoball front tension arm bushings)...most likely a combination of the two. Pictures of my old rod bearings will be posted as soon as I receive them. |

It's most likely the suspension bits

BTW 911r The dead pedal works wonders as a place to use your legs to brace your torso into the seat.

Very good to know! Will try this out tonight. It'll have to do until I can get those Recaros — AMX is a great suggestion; might have to commission some speed cloth Sportsters.

Today marked 1,000 miles since I got my rod bearings done, so I took my car into the dealership for an oil-change (as my jack & raceramps wouldn't clear..). An oil-change alone cost me $300, I definitely won't miss taking my car there once I move. I also picked up a part I ordered a while ago: a new a-pillar cloth/cover. My old one was torn near the bottom, and had holes in it.
A pretty small issue, but annoying to look at nevertheless. After about 30 minutes, I was finally able to get the new piece in. I also managed to crack my windshield on my drive back home from LA. Still debating whether I should go OEM or Safelite. While I had my T-20 Torx bit out I also figured I'd install the new steering wheel trim I got a few months back. Took another 30 minutes, but it was well worth it. New vs. old My steering wheel itself still shows signs of wear, but it will have to do until I can source an OEM M-Performance Alcantara wheel (currently on backorder). Next on the agenda is to have my seats, and door panels steam cleaned. Although I love speed cloth, it can be a pain to keep clean. Several of my interior trim pieces are also starting to show wear (cubby and window switches on drivers side door panel, center console trim, etc.), so I will begin to source, and replace all of those pieces. |

Whichever way you go with the windshield, be sure to ask about the climate comfort windshield.

Finally got my new tires! I decided on Michelin Pilot Sport 4s (275/35s). I'm still not totally sold on the ARC8s, but I figure I can always transfer over the tires if I decide on another set of wheels.
Next up on the agenda is replacing a couple more trim pieces in the interior, installing more spherical/SPL goodies, new brakes/BBK, and a CF driveshaft (currently waiting for the GB to play out). The car is about to cross 103,000 miles (which marks about 8,000 miles from when I purchased it) and it feels amazing, apart from a small vibration in the steering wheel over 80mph, and a clunk from the rear end whenever going over bumps (solid rear subframe bushings?). Hoping new tires solve my vibration issue. |

I bought it from Dang, DanMpower. He said he got it used so just being an e90 f1 race makes it highly probably.
