2026 plans

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Went to take the car in for an oil change and had no heat and the engine temp didn't go above 170 on Tuesday.

I had the tiniest oil spot under the rear of the engine, turns out it was just the oil pan gasket. A thermostat and heater core later, it's back!

First time I've had to fix something on the car in probably 10-12 years.

I noticed the dash is cracked finally, where are we getting a new one nowadays? Mine's cracked between the steering wheel and the windshield.

So far? Oil change, add a little compression damping to the rear shocks, drive car.

If the stars align right, *maybe* get my detached garage put up.

C6 Coilovers installed, waiting on my Chinese knockoff tech2 to tune out the mag ride

G37 replacement subframe is slowly having the stock rubber bushings removed, its less than fun so I've been doing one at a time when i feel motivated

My 2026 Plans include street driving, some car shows, some drag strip action (Hopefully a 10.3x at 130 mph and a 1.35 sixty foot. I'll be holding the track rental again in mid/late October. Might try to get to Cecil or Numidia this year for a day just to keep exploring new dragstrips.

I saw your vague FB post...are you keeping the plans under wrap until complete?

Drove the Z yesterday to pick the kiddo up from daycare. Fans ran most of the time, so I guess I have to try to find the hypertech tuner to try to adjust the fans now with the warmer thermostat it sat at 180 the whole drive and in traffic.

Well, in Camaro based things that happened:

For a long time the shift interlock in my car has been hit-or-miss and required a little cursing and hard button pushing to get it to release. One morning, I went to take the car out and it was just as bad as it ever was. I finally had enough, and spent the whole 15 minutes it took to take the knob off, take the top of the console off, remove the solenoid, and clean it out with electronic parts cleaner. Now it works as intended. In fact, it's been an issue so long that I'm still surprised every time I shift it out of park and it just works like it's supposed to.

It's the little things, I guess.
