  1. Not much has been going on other than spending a lot of time detailing and it looks like I’m getting good at it.  I used Adam’s “9” year ceramic coat, I doubt it will last even half as long around here. The result is amazing, I would easily pay for this service. So easy to maintain and so hard to get dirty, looking forward to washing this tomorrow.

  2. Went to the drag strip at WIR a few weeks ago, what better time to try out launch control for the first time than being on the spot. I failed every single time, I think I can get in the 12s, I just have to learn how to send it properly.

    Now I want more power, but I also want to save up for a g87 once I finish paying this one  off before next summer.

  3. I finally installed my Turner diffuser, perfect for me since I can’t maintain a squat position, but I can work on a roller. The tabs were a bit tricky to remove, I eventually got them off after lifting the rear up for more clearance.  Perfect fitment and much better looking, the Adro side skirts are next.

    What happened to your hip? Car looks great!

    Some of my bones are deformed, causing irregularities on my joints. This makes it easy to tear tissue on my ball and socket joints (shoulders, hips). I suffered this on both shoulders from doing pull ups and had to rest them for over a year in the past.

    Now I’m thinking that deep squats with double my weight caused the impingement between my femur head and hip. I also suffered a minor tear on my gluteus minimums from compensating the initial tear. I also may have suffered damage to my sciatic nerve on my back, but there are no X-rays or MRI done to that specific area.  We also have to remember that our understanding of MRIs are still developing, it’s still hard to pinpoint what goes wrong in our complex anatomy.  

    The only thing I know is that as sensitive as we may be, we are sooooo resilient.  I’m optimistic on my outcome, I already have back problems, but that doesn’t mean I should give up. 

  5. Getting a little lippy, I still have very little strength on my left leg, which made it very painful swapping my summer wheels on. I’m hoping to get my Adro kit on later this month, depending on how my rehabilitation goes (my left leg looks like I skip leg day).

  6. The lip spoiler fit like a glove, it’s pretty aggressive, I would love to do the M Performance CF trunk and Wing, but that’s a good bit of money (one day). I have the Adro front lip and side skirts on hold until my hip gets better (shit fuckin hurts), hoping by July or August (MRI was done today)

  7. Got this bottle earlier this week, tried it on all my CF parts and it all ended up foggy.  I polished it all off and tried again with success. I believe I left the ceramic on too long the first time. 

    I now have the confidence to do it on my car later this summer
