After a four day road trip this week, with little time to more than clean the windshield and check the oil level, I finally had a day to devote to cleaning it. She got a wash using Griot's Garage Foaming Surface Wash, a hand wash with three rinse buckets prior to the suds bucket, a Foaming Poly Gloss, a wheel cleaning, glass cleaning and interior detailing, then a hand-applied Carnauba paste wax and buff. The cloth top also got a Raggtop treatment. It sure is nice to have a clean car once again. Today's high was about 105F, so as it got warmer during the day, I had to take cooling breaks inside the house. She's garaged, and the tools and supplies are all cleaned up and put away. It's been a good day.

I installed my HKS hipermax and uninstall my tien z; took me forever to get the fitment right; lowing the car 2 finger gap front and 2 finger gap .
So many times checking the tires to fender moving the coils; changing it up. Took me a few tires to get it right.
I'm not as low as it was but it handles so much better at 6 clicks

Do you have a link to it? I'm looking for cleaning/protection solutions for my soft top as well.

Thank you.

On Saturday replaced one of the CV cups with one off a spare axle I have. Pitted it and had already swapped the originals side to side Happened during a track night last week. Still have a couple of spares around.

Apparently after another 50k. So maybe 10 more years at the rate I’m going now.

how much were you quoted for the job?
I made an offer on a s2k and although the alignment is good it needs everything else you stated, brake pads looked low so I'll prob throw that in and get the alignment for good measure. Fingers crossed no signs of cracked valve retainers.
