2026 plans
 
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.

And how's that going so far?

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.

LTb1ow 06-03-2026 02:15 PM
