It seems like I am always waiting for parts.  I was really hoping to change the subject to something a little cleverer and “bling” on the second blog, but here we are again.   The initial wait was for a 14-inch, 6-piston mono-block caliper big brake system; which is now equipped on my mule.  Big thanks to nice folks over at Baer for technical assistance and gorgeous product.

I was ready to hit up track days, ahem, I mean driving school, immediately after the installation.  On September 8^th, I attended SRT Track Day event with my friends.  This brings us to the second portion of “waiting for parts.” 

Maybe it was the long pause since the last track day (back in January), maybe it was my raised confidence with the BBK (that’s big brake kit for you old farts), or maybe it was the added horsepower from my Nismo graphic kit.  Please note that the genuine Nismo lip is still in awesome shape.  I am sure a replica would have disintegrated in pieces.  Buy the genuine stuff folks!  (Refer to my friend, Merritt’s blog on “GT45 Y2004K.”)  After a brief grief period, my friends and I zip-tied everything back together and I was on track again. 

Turbonetics turbocharger was spoolin’ and Spearco intercooler was coolin’.  I love this turbo system because it simply performs and delivers.  M3? Pfft!  S2000? Pffft!  C6 Z06? Ok now, I am crazy.  I wish I could do this everyday.  Just imagine - Slim, the official racer/tester/R&D driver of Turbonetics.  Wink wink. ;)
