New brake lines are in, brake fluid replaced and the brakes are bled. Clutch fluid replaced and bled. Hardtop on. New battery will be here Monday afternoon. Now all I need to do is test radio dash controls and clean exterior and interior. All before Tuesday morning!!!

Yesterday my S showed the dreaded ‘Check Engine’ light. I pulled the code and it is P1172 O2 sensor. Guess I’m going to drive with it for awhile and fix it when I get home.

I've been dailying the Berlina since early March, when the G35 threw a Cylinder 1 misfire. Will try new coil packs on the G before looking at more drastic options.

Installed a new K&N Air Filter on the Berlina, just before the Staunton event. Thanks to Denny for the tire recommendation. Keep me posted when you install yours, so I know how well they respond.

Hoping to acquire an AP2 exhaust, waiting for me in Dublin, and have it installed in a few weeks.

New windshield (yes, another one!) will wait until right before the Dragon.

Plan to have Trans and Diff replaced before Tech Day. Want to focus on new Spark Plugs and maybe a coolant flush. Anyone willing to give me a hand with both projects? (just a little hand holding...)

Getting in our cars and driving them the way they were meant to be, teling lies with our friends, eating too much food and going on an adventure to see some new things. These festivities.
