2,326 miles. I’m home from the convention! I had a blast. I’ve never seen so many 240’S come together! On my way to Speedzone on Friday, as I was rushing and flooring it every chance I could get, I suddenly lost power and my car would only rev up to 2000, boost leak??? It happened a block from Speedzone, so I putt putted to the convention and quickly hid in the parking lot away from the crowd and we popped my hood. There were NO boost leaks, I didn’t know wtf was going on and I started worrying. I started the car again and then it was okay! Very weird. Now, it does that every so often for a split second or two and then its fine. It sounds like an electrical problem, maybe the wires on my MAF or the wires under my coolant reservoir, I’ve got to check that out.
I really enjoyed the Convention, I worked the check-in desk and greeted all the registrants in on Friday & Saturday and met tons of fellow 240sx owners, that was cool. I met some of the girls that went to the convention, hopefully I can become good friends with some of them. They all were pretty nice, but I think only one out of the 5 there was really truly into her car, hahahaa. On Saturday I worked the check-in table pretty much all day. Me & Benson spent $130 on raffle tickets and we won!!!!! We won a 5Zigen “Rocket” muffler system, a Nismo G-Shock watch, a Nismo Key, and I won a Meguiar’s car care kit for winning Best Girl Car! If you voted for me, Thank you!! Benson has the watch and I have the rest of the prizes hahahaha, I’m a pig oink oink. I think I’m going to put on the rocket exhaust for only meets & track events.
On Sunday, for the track even @ Streets of Willow t it was around 100 degrees! I was so concerned that my car would overheat on the track, but she was fine!!!! I got in two twenty minute runs, each I was continuously at 6000 rpm and my temp didn’t even budge. The 180SXxy & I loved the track. My tires & brakes couldn’t be nicer to me! I had very minimal understeer and brake fade, thank you!!! I guess I should have been more confident in her, she pulled through so well. This was the first time I had been at Willow Springs on a dry day. Last time it was pouring rain, so this was actually the first time I really pushed it on this track. I didn’t hold up too many cars, and I did a few passes. I had BensonLove in the car giving me pointers on my racing line and braking, thank you!! Each lap I got better and better, and it also got hotter and hotter. I didn’t want to wear my shoes, so I was racing with just my socks on hahahahah! I hate driving stick with shoes. After my second run at around 2pm I said that’s it, no more. I didn’t want to push my baby anymore, and I had good luck on the track and I didn’t want to ruin it. I was satisfied with my runs and I can’t wait for the next track event and I certainly can’t wait for the next convention!
Hopefully we can do this convention every year in SoCal. Now that the convention is over I can finally focus on saving money for my Blitz LM front mount and I really want a new front bumper!
