Do you think that the GSR feels like the younger brother always getting the left over hand me downs?

nope... first time they stole nothing but merchandise. The R was completely unscathed, the second time a brick was only thrown through a store window. The R was no longer located at the shop at that time.

Nice set up Jon... my '97 is tucked away for the winter as well. I considered putting her on jackstands but am scared what would happen if there was a fire?? Quickly through on tires with one fingure tight lug?? Just can't get the thought out of my head.

My DD '94 MR RS

I can't wait for warm weather too... It's been subzero temps for the past 2 weeks (windchill actually got down to -40 last week monday). I'm so glad it's actually in the 20's now. Oh and it's been snowing for the past couple days here too.

Any particular reason the R is on jackstands during storage? What prep did the car see before it got locked away for a while?

Awesome headlights BTW. Customlightz TSX retro fit?

Make sure and place some towels between the glass and windsheild wipers, and leave a crack of circulation for the interior.

Although I personally cannot understand the point in removing your exhaust manifold.

Hey look at the bright side, noone can smoke in your R now.........
