quick questions - what type of fuel do you guys use and for this detail / wax noob - what to use and how?

Thanks - I have't been able to drive too much, but I will get out there every chance I get!

Slate looks awesome! I just used Zaino's line of products on my black c4s, the little swirls disappeared without a random orbital, and i would highly recomend thier line of products. www.zainostore.com

Enjoy the new ride!

Thanks guys. She looks pretty mean. I have been dabbling with the idea of mods, but don't know what I could possibly do. I have a set of FVD aluminum gauge rings, but they look a bit cheap to me - I'm afraid I will ruin the look (no offense to FVD products - they are great) Are all aluminum trim rings a bit tacky looking?

And yes I do need to clean my car. The day of delivery I drove the car 2 miles to a #m bra installer, waited 5 hours then drove back home (2 hours) in the freakkin rain. The rain sucked but I at least got a feel for how planted and how much grip the car has!!

so far I have logged about 350 miles and accidentally revved it up to 5000rpm twice and even 6000 once. Can't wait till I can really go WOT!!

Wow!

That color looks great! My buddy Thomas "Tuuner" ordered a Turbo Cab in that color but bailed out and bought a coupe. Maybe he'll change his mind and pull the trigger on the Turbo Cab when it comes in now that he'll see your "sweeeet" ride!

Congrats and avoid that radar!!

Hi Jamie - at first I was "HUH?" good to know you keep up and 6speed is prob the best place. and thanks for putting up with the SH$% I caused...

rerun9999 - thought of contacting you but my delivery was pretty last minute and became hectic and chaotic, you can ask jamie about it. Yeah these pics are somewhere in Ithaca - I used the nav to take me to some tourist attraction. It's suppose to be a park but all I saw were parking lots.

Oweya - what color was the coupe?

Thanks nacelle. I LOVE seal grey. It is my favorite P-car color.

Finally found a good sets of curvy roads to drive, but it seems more of a biking road. Took a right turn at 45 and the car just went!

Can someone direct me to DIY instructions for the clear sides? I can't seem to find them on renntech.org

Ryan - yeah they were and tanahough park or whatever that place is called. It's besides the lake off of 96. Have you been to Watkins Glen? I am thinking of attending a DE there.
