Washed, vacuumed, lysol’ed (wipes - got most of that coffee my buddies spilt from that other thread). Changed the V belt a few days ago but got sent the wrong drive belt so gotta get that swapped. Replaced the wiper inserts with new ones. Changed the air filter. Changed the spark plugs and the cabin air filter as well. Getting the diff fluids, tranny fluid, and coolant flushed/replaced on friday at the dealer (should have a sweet G37 for a loaner for a few hours - quick cars) and then I’m ready for my trip to Clearwater, FL in 2 weeks and Missouri in June. ---

It is a ricer mod, and anybody who thinks otherwise is a justin2386. no, it works. its basic physics. why do you think people wrap turbos and downpipes? less radiant heat. obviously with higher end engines you gain more benefit. i prefer to cut down on radiating heat for mine. ---

> [@88slowmarro"](#): > > fuck dealers dude , i can change the fluids with a better fluid and prolly cheaper attthat Infiniti is kind of a stickler on which fluids you use in case of warranty work. I still have warranty for another 3 years/36k so…gotta keep it kosher in case something does decide to shit the bed. Also, without a machine, you never get a true flush. I can drain and fill all day, but it won’t be perfect. I’m a perfectionist. I did it on the Maxima, and ran all AMSOIL all the time. The issue here isn’t ability or know how, it’s trying to protect my investment while playing ‘by the rules’. Yeah it sucks, but until my warranty expires, JUST IN CASE…I’ll do it their way. ---

I’m a perfectionist. my transmission in the A6 is like that too. needs a damn machine to do it. only dealers have that. _sigh_ [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/239557.md?page=427) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/239557.md?page=429)
