2,735 miles. So my 3 piece rim seal is bad again and I have to pump my tire everyday. Also, I have a boost leak somewhere…when I turn on my car the rpm drops and almost dies, then goes to an idle that is lower than usual. Weird. Can’t find the boost leak!!! I noticed it the day after the track event. And hahah when I’m on the freeway I hear a humming noise coming from the passenger front wheel…that is the wheel that is leaking, so we’ll see if it stops when I get it fixed…could be a bearing. Drama, just little drama. Well other than those stupid little things, the 180SXxy has been great. Even though I supposedly have a boost leak she still is strong. I haven’t been having that weird boost problem that I had on the 1st day of the convention, thank goodness.

I just signed up for the Speedtrial Track event at Willow Springs on the 31st of this month. I finally got my rev-matching down on all gears, so now I can start applying to brake and finally heel-toe! Before the track event I have to do the following: take off my cat & get a test pipe, put on my new 5Zigen Rocket muffler, find a Greddy Downpipe (or settle for a Blitz), put spacers in my hood to angle my hood up a lil’, and check my brakes. I changed my master brake cylinder a year or so ago and I’ve noticed it leaking under the reservoir and I think its getting air into my brake system, but not a lot, a new one is going on my shopping list. My shopping list for the remainder of this year is as follows:
Nissan Master Brake Cylinder, Blitz LM FMIC, Skyline Fuelpump, steel braided brake lines, new rims to clear the Z brakes that I just bought (17×8 & 17×9), possibly a 5-lug conversion if I can’t find decent 4-lug rims, Kouki bumper, new nissan rear bumper, oil cooler & oil filter relocation kit, and a S14 turbo ;). Just a few things huh hahahhaa. After that, I’ll start working on my interior and get the rear seats done to match my JIC Seats that still haven’t come in yet!

I go to school full-time, rent a house, take care of a 1st grader and only work part-time, money doesn’t come easy for me, but I guess that’s why I’m an accounting major, I can make the very few dollars I get stretch. I got sucked into the 240SX hole and can’t get out, I’m having the time of my life ;).

My best friend’s GSR was stolen in the valley a few days ago, I’m so upset about that.  What goes around comes around.  I hope the jerks who stole her car get theirs if you know what I mean.  It seems like you can’t have something nice without someone else wanting it, and it always happens to the undeserving people like my best friend, I’m sorry Barb sweety.  We’ll get you lo-jack on your next car!!!
