No, this is gear oil for the manual transmission, not the rear differential.

How disappointing. I thought we had corrupted you and you tossed out your mod timeline!

Ah well.

Taking mine in today. Brake swap, springs, camber kits and I'll be "done".

In so far as big ticket items, (and fully aware that "big" is a relative term) Rear Gears won't happen until 2016.

Next year it's the ARK Grip cat-back. I need some noise.

Here's the reply from 180 regarding the KP Technologies fog light module -

"KP does not provide installation instructions for different models, only the old G35. Every car BCM is different, so the wiring will be different. We've tried different cars, different variations and all caused issues. For example, when using the turn signal one of the fogs would turn on. Or sometimes they wouldn't turn off. KP couldn't help so we stopped installing them"

so now I don't really know what I'm going to do in regards to the module

I'd ditch that idea, as novel as it is. Sounds like it could lead to some real headaches.

Waiting for this FI exhaust is tougher than I thought it was going to be.

Lol you're telling me... My ship date is no later than July 25th. I was hoping to have it installed the first week of July. I catch myself logging on here more frequently in hopes that Lance has sent me a tracking number.

I like buying car parts in the dead of winter. Gives me something to look forward to, and if it takes forever to build and ship... it's winter anyway.

'Course, you have to actually have a winter for that to work. And truth be told, I'd be happy to never have winter again.

Don't forget there are crush washers for the drain and fill plugs. They are like $2 each.

Well that sucks. I still need to take the time to pull the wiring diagram for our car and see how it matches up to the instructions. At least it was only $50

I lived the vast majority of my life in NE Ohio, I love the comparatively mild winters here in the south. Although sometimes, when it snows 2-3 times a year, I think I should have moved farther south

I leave to pick up my car from the body shop in 30 minutes. I can't wait

That's actually sound logic for you all that have to suffer through the snow.

Not to mention if you like to DIY. I couldn't imagine trying the HFC install while snow is on the ground. Even a garage would be unbearable!

That it is. It's relative only to the pile of parts that was in my office. There's still the pile of parts in the spare room to be dealt with.

Hang in there guys, totally worth the wait! Kirk sounds like a NOLA run may need to be scheduled soon

Picked up my car from the body shop.

The Good: the impact had pulled back the plasti dip on my chrome fog light trim rings. They stripped them both and sprayed them flat black

The Bad: I need to drop it off on Tuesday for them to take it to another shop to have the clear bra reapplied to one spot.

So glad to have my car back

Congrats Lego, glad it wasn't worse!

I was looking at mine while on the lift and from that angle saw was dent from when I got hit the other day. Still not bad enough to justify a new nose I'm afraid though. Bastards

Quite possibly. We will need to do something once I get it installed and finish moving.

But it's bad enough to justify a sport bumper.
