Thanks. I'm excited about it. Tired of being away from my wife, working holidays, birthdays, etc.... and the 24, 48. 72 hour shift. I want nights and weekends off and no worries about being recalled or vacation's cancel.

UPDATE: 03-July-08

The Z is in Houston now. I'll be home August 2nd and hopefully be getting it to SGP Racing for a new tune shortly after. Sadly on the move my bumper was damaged/crack. So I ordered the Aerosync N-Style front bumper from Gruppe-S. I'll be adding the TiTek dry cf air duct to the front bumper also. Before leaving Colorado my brother put on the Seibon hood. Sorry no pictures and still needs some adjusting and I need to add the Tein hood dampers. For ahead security I bought the AeroCatch lockingplus/flush hood pins. I'm also waiting on a set of CraftSquare TC-N1 (long neck) CF mirrors. I'm replacing both front & rear OEM weak endlinks with SPL endlinks. When I'll be adding those I'll finally put on the GTSpec braces; front tie, fender, 4-pt. and, rear lateral. I also finally received my Seibon rear lip. So I'm looking forward to adding that as well. Might talk to the paint/body shop that paints the Aerosync about painting the hood and maybe something with the rear lip. We'll see. I also picked up a new shift boot and CF rear strut cover for some interior bling.

Not much else to add other than I'm looking forward to getting back to the states and finally enjoying the Z.

Little update...

I've been in Houston for about two weeks now. The Z got retuned on a DynaPack and made 396/386 on 11psi. We think the 100* temp, 40% Humidity, 4 month old 91 octane, and no fuel return system is holding back some power. So I've been driving the shit out of the Z and burning off any old fuel I had. It's going into the shop tomorrow to adjust some I/C piping, fix the boost controller, and retune. I'll try to get some dynosheet once they are done. FYI: I'm not trying to break dyno records. I'm just enjoying the new boost. (Love the 80-100 pulls in 6th gear. :D)

I've also installed the CraftSquare mirrors and rear CF brace cover. Both look good. The Seibon hood look better than what I was thinking. Waiting till I go to the Bahamas before I put it in the body shop for the rest of the body parts. Since I don't have my floor jack or stands I haven't installed the GTSpec braces. Sadly I'm scraping getting on/off the driveway so I'm gonna save the 4-pt underbrace for track days.

Not much else to report. Just enjoying being home and driving the Z whenever I can. Hope all is well with all of you. Take care!!!
