Your rotors look like mine - no discernible wear, mirror like finish, very nice.

Another gorgeous March day in Colorado. Ski areas have been getting dumped with snow but sunny and clear in the front range....

C&C this morning:

New wipers, a drive to the coast, and then a stop for lunch.

Custom alcantara? Or are those pieces you find aftermarket?

Ordered the instrument and center console piece from Ebay. The company is out of the UK. Prices are reasonable. The door handle and knee pad were from raw material that I purchased from the fabric store.

Thanks.

Yes, its pretty heavy. Cant wait for the first start up.

had to order a few new studs, 4 of them were frozen to the nuts....nut and stud mated forever. Found a 4 pack of ARP unobtanium studs to replace them with.

There is a special Ni based anit-seize compound for high Ni based super alloys. The typical Cu based stuff will plate out and cause the nut to lock on the stud. I am still looking for some M8 Inconel lock nuts. The Cu plated Porsche nut are OK but give it up in a couple of years. The stock Porsche studs are inconel.

Cruised up to West Malibu with the top down today.

Turned a big number... but missed by a mile.
