Top pic is the day I got her home with a cell phone.

Shop pics where during the exhaust install.

Road pic was driving through Miami showing off on the way to a full moon drum circle on the beach.

Extenders on the 02 bung appears to have fixed the CEL. Fuse pull going on as we speak right now in the parking lot at work, will report if any difference tomorrow.

CEL isn't going away, will be ditching the HF cats and going with LT headers + tune later this month. Already ordered headers.

Also installed the Vittesse Throttle Controller, I'll get some pics up this weekend. Really enjoying it so far.

3.91 rear end gear and BMR bushings paid for this morning also.

Seems my plans of staying small and inexpensive, and keeping the warranty intact are out the window at this point LOL.

Headers + tune done, dyno'd at 383/381 really good job on the tune from what I've seen of other dyno's with similar mods. I let the dyno sheet in the car I'll get pictures of it up later today.

I also changed the name of the thread to reflect the new name of the car, I'll explain the reasoning..

I'd been thinking of what to name her for a while, It's become a memorial to my father who passed away late 2013. My earliest memory of him was his late 70's Z28, which he never named.

My father always came up with weird names for pets, the earliest I remember is a dog named W, so the single letter name fits.

My father's name was Glen (odd spelling, only 1 N, so that works)

He was also kind of a racist, and the car is black... I'll leave that to the imagination.

So with those things, naming the car "N" just fits, so thats what I'm going with :P

BO white PTB came in today, just waiting on Torque Converter to start the surgery.

Waiting on 555r's also, will be going square 275 set up when they come in, put new p-zero's on the back for now until they get here. Then I'll be moving those to the front and putting the 555r's on the back.

excitement is building..
