The "installer" (me) screwed up a little. When drilling the last hole on the brake pedal, the drill bit wandered up a little, which caused the tilt. There is a very small surface area on the brake and clutch pedals to drill in because you have to avoid the bracket on the rear of the pedals, so I decided to leave it alone. I figure if I don't look down, they won't bother me!
With temperatures finally Spring-like, drove mine the LONG way to go out for breakfast this morning. Then worked on painting the chips and scratches with Dr. Color chip. Looks pretty good for a touch-up!
Dropped the top and spent an hour on the backroads near McLean listening to the PSE and throttle blips. Two kids in an M3 came to play. Then washed and wiped her down and am smiling from ear to ear. Spring is going to be fun!
Installed the Fister exhaust. Took us 10 hours, we had to cut a total of 4 bolts and had real trouble reaching a loosening the very rusty 3 nuts that hold the muffler. My car probably sees less salt and rain than many, but still every nut and bolt seemed to be rusty. Also did the spark plugs and an oil change. Had a few beers, so it wasn't a total waster of time ;-)
The Fister sounds absolutely awesome!
Also installed the front mesh (gutter guard with neoprene lip construction).
