So, I’ve been driving the 180SXxy around for 6 full days ;).  I’ve gone through 1 full tank of gas which got me 260 miles, which is pretty good considering with my KA I would get no more than 225! Yes, I am a lead foot.  I’m still getting used to her.  I’m not going over 5,000rpm until one more oil change, which is going to be next week. We bled my clutch and put a new gasket on the cat.   I need a test pipe. I think I’m the only one with an SR driving around with a stock muffler.  I like it, a lot.  My car feels just as fast as my baby sileightymania’s car, and he has my 3″ Apex N1 system on. I don’t have to worry about those pesky muffler tickets anymore.

Next month I’m going to get a test pipe put in. I had my egr valve on the SR welded and the weld is coming off, so right now it sounds kinda funny.  After we bled the clutch it caught right in the middle, perfect ;). I have a leak, I’m not sure if its one or two, but I know my clutch line is leaking fluid, I have to add fluid every other day and my tranny might be leaking, not sure, I’ve gotta go down there and check it out this weekend. When I shift in to 5th gear it feels rough only the moment I switch to 5th, not sure if its the syncro or what, but its ok. Just little silly things are wrong, for the most part, the engine is wonderful, strong, steady and very quiet, except for my lil’ pppssssssht.  Hopefully I can get these problems fixed asap and go out to an AutoX and REALLY get to know her better. Until then I just have to use the streets and freeways to feel her out ;).

I’ve got to get ready for the 240SX Convention, I’m racing that Sunday at Willow Springs, gotta practice that heel-toe action. Practice makes perfect and I have a long way to go. Wish me luck on my journey to perfection!
