    Today I flogged the crap out of my NC at Adams Motorsports Park over a 4 hour period. Private track days FTW.

    Installed my new Cravenspeed Stubby Antenna. It looks great and reception seems to be as good as OEM.

    Holy crappy. That is a good price for a place with a garage.
    On topic: I ignored my car today. She'll probably punish me for it.

    DIY oil change few days ago. Jack or put front on ramps, remove the metal stiffening bracket (5 bolts) ... some people call this the "access plate"... and it is straightforward from there.

    Does removing that plate really make a difference? I just go in from behind the drivers side wheel. I get a bit of slop but its kind of inevitable with being on ramps or jackstands, and with the filter being right over that metal piece. I have eliminates the mess from draining with a fumoto valve. So am not that far from a completely mess free oil change.

    Grumpy - try pulling the plate next time as I think you will like the greater access. It's 5 bolts so takes an extra minute plus you can clean the plate back to "new" when it's off the car.
