Day 51, yes, I’m writing to tell you the date has been set! Saturday, June 1st is my swap. I have encountered numerous problems, i.e., money, parts, politics, etc. A few things I’m trippin about. . .
#1 My ACT clutch is out of stock, everywhere
#2 I don’t have enough money to buy everything (who does?)
#3 I don’t have a boost gauge
#4 I don’t have the pedals or master clutch cylinder yet (this swap is also an automatic-to-manual tranny swap!)
#5 I don’t have a shift knob
Hahahhaa I’m a drama mama. On top of that I haven’t bought any hoses or belts. I’m going to work like a busy bee, make that money, and get all these problems fixed and bought by next Saturday. There is an AutoX the following weekend (June 8th), if the 180SXxy is in running order, then I’m bringin her to test out my new power & suspension. California Speedway here I come. I was just thinking…I’m NOT the only girl with an SR, but at least I’m going to use it on the track. Other girls get an SR for import showoff or just to have; I bought my SR for all those reasons AND for the purpose of racing. It makes me mad when guys tell me “you’re not the only girl with an SR,” but hellllooo I have a way better reason than they do to have one.
When I should install my LSD (found a viscous one at Cartune)? I feel a new survey comin up. Benson love wants me to wait and learn how to drift really good with an open diff, THEN put the LSD in. I’m not sure, but I know its burning a hole in whatever and I want to put it on already…I mean damn if you bought it already then might as well use, right? Oh yes, I just typed the infamous “might-as-well” line. That always comes out of your mouth when you’re building a car…
Anyways, you don’t buy cute car parts for them to just sit there in the garage, you want to use them right away…otherwise they’ll feel wasted haha. Right? Maybe. We’ll see, first thing is first, gotta get my swap on. Wish me luck, I think I’m going to need it.
