Hey SA,

Critter's away for a few weeks.  Let's go see what kind of fun we can have with his car!

See you there Wednesday.

Stay at home neighbor mentioned he hoped he got some practice with saltrock in his shotgun.

Wednesday is out GJ, I have to go to Tulsa for work, fly home on Friday maybe if I can get a connecting flight and a long enough lay over...
 
Actually I was going to tell Dark Tech that he had the green light to get what he might need for his new ride.  Also since he is closer he might be able to get what we want and ship it to us.

Got my second to the last free oil change, tire rotation, 27 point check and it only took 30 minutes!

Top down on the way home and she was smooth as silk. :D

Installed the LV Brace and drove about 100 miles of "real world" testing. Had a great dyaday, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

My car and I received the royal treatment from DDMWorks today!

  VDI Vertical Doors
  Racing Backbone
  ProBeam
  Stage 1 Brake Kit:
      Slotted Rotors
      Porterfield R4-S Break Pads
      ATE SuperBlue
      Stainless Steel Brake Lines

- Then I tested out these new additions on the Tail of the Dragon on the way home!

What a difference!

NICE!!!!

Not sure if I can afford that Brake kit before the dragon, but I really would like to try.

Congrats on all the new DDM goodies. They sure make a great car even better

With the help of my swsc friends, I finally completed my GMPP suspension kit.  Now I've got upgraded shocks/springs/sways on my 06.
Can't wait to autocross with the BMW club this spring.  I can already tell it will be much faster.

After all my DDM mods were installed yesterday, I could really feel the difference driving home on the Tail of the Dragon!

My first post and can you believe it I'm glad I didn't drive the Solstice today. Driving I26 Chas, SC had a Nissan attempt a high speed pit maneuver.  My Tahoe won and I can still make a call to DDM to plan a trip next week.  On with the braces full throttle ahead.
