Say Hello to my new friends the Cusco Comp2s ;). Yes, I’ve physically touched my coilovers and they are here chilling on my bed. I plan to put them on this weekend or next. I’m so excited. I plan to go on one more bumpy ride with my crappy suspension and rip em’ off and throw them onto the roof of my house or something. I don’t think I’ll miss my Tokicos. . . hello Cuscosxxy.

I’m patiently awaiting the arrival of my SR20DET clip from Japan. Tonight I was making my shopping list, here’s what I have so far:

• Blitz LM Intercooler Kit
• Blitz BL Series 52MM Boost Gauge with cute pod
• Blitz FATT Turbo Timer
• cute Greddy oil cap

Wow, money money, Benson has got to start saving up his money for me hahahhaah, I’m saving my money too. I vow to live as cheaply as I can from now on, cuz I know my motor is coming, and I want to have some or all of these goodies waiting for her.

I just picked up a used Greddy Type-S blow off valve (BOV); Benson so does not like that BOV, but I think its cute, its magenta for cryin out loud! You know you have got special love with a man when you two argue about BOV’s! I’m always going to have a hint of rice in my style, and maybe he just has to deal with it. It doesn’t change the way I feel about him if I get a ricey BOV does it?

Anyways ;)~*When I get my SR, I plan to powder-coat my valve cover pink or magenta to match my BOV. I can’t wait to get my SR and put a woman’s touch to it. That’s the problem with you guys, you make the SR look so dirty and mean and don’t give it the love it needs, that’s going to be all different with me & my SR. I’m just waiting waiting, hopefully I’ll be writing you in a few weeks about my SR-sxxy.

Hey Stranger…its been a month. My baby got me my coil-overs (Thank you Benson I’ll ya kno~*). They’re the Cusco Comp2’s, but I haven’t physically touched them, don’t ask, I’ll have them in my car hopefully by the next AutoX in April.

I’ve got to get my car ready for the next AutoX, my list is as follows:

• install coil-overs
• check or possibly change steering rack
• get an alignment
• flush coolant
• change my spark plugs

OMG, lets just say I ran over something hard and big and I might have messed up my alignment and steering rack (don’t ask). I was hoping maybe I could throw on one of Benson’s 50 sets of rims on my car for the drift day event at Irwindale Speedway next Saturday, but after that running over the big thing drama I think its best to wait till April.

I went down to my friend’s engine place, Cartune, and scoped out their SR clips. I found a clean one I want, but the mileage was kind of high, luckily they get shipments often and they’ll save a clean-not-hit clip for me. I’m saving my money and now that I have a job I should be getting a clip sometime in the latter part of April. I’m so excited! I plan to get a ACT streetable clutch, a bov (still deciding, any suggestions?), and possibly a front mount to put on my engine when I swap. Might as well throw the goodies in while the engine as in pieces.

I bled my brakes a few days ago…they’re still OK. Maybe I should throw the Z32s that are sitting here in Sil80SXxy SPL garage. Decisions decisions. . .hopefully next time I write my car will be blessed with new suspension.

Happy Early Valentine’s Day. Well I changed the 180SXxy oil finally yesterday. Do you ever smell your oil when you change it? I did and it smells funky. There is a ticking sound coming out of my engine when the car is cold, I asked a friend and he said it might be my bottom block, rod bearings, he says my engine might have a few more years left in her. Hahaha a perfect excuse to get an SR. So yes, I’m definitely pushing for my swap in the next few months. I’m going to miss my torquie ka, but life goes on. Change is good. I’m just waiting for a job and a clean front clip.

My baby Sileighty Mania went to go check out some cute Cusco Comp2 coil-overs for me last night. Last month I was eyein some over at SP Engineering, but someone beat me to it. And lone and behold the ones my baby looked at last night were the ones! Some guy bought them and then crashed his car hahahaa (he never put them on thankfully). I’m wondering if they’re meant to be mine.. We’ll see, I might just want to buy the new model cusco coil-overs that just came out, “Comp-Zero2R” or some cute name like that or my baby might end up buying the comp2’s for me 😉 well see.

I want to buy a new door for my passenger side, the one I have has been re-painted and bondoed and ghetto. I found one already and its grey…will anyone buy it for me? Hahahhaa i have no job. I got laid off a week ago…yet I’m still dreaming about what part to get next for the 180SXxy.

Speedtrial is in March, but it’s in Buttonwillow…which is like almost 2 hours away, I don’t think its worth driving over there for that crazy track. I’ll just be at the AutoX in March.  Well wish me luck finding a cute front clip. Hopefully next time I have an entry I’ll be writing about my new coil-overs. ;).

Greetings! Well its January and in the last 2 weeks I’ve gotten a new lighting setup and put my new tires on. I installed my new H-4’s with Raybrig Multi-Reflector housings. I changed the light bulbs in my blinkers w/PIAA’s to match the H-4 white headlights and I also changed my fog lightbulbs to some better PIAA H3’s.

Yesterday, I got my new Dunlop W-10’s mounted. It expensive having 3-piece “reverse type” rims! The rim shops charge you more for mounting tires, its supposedly harder to mount tires on a “reverse type” rim. Whatever guy…$60! I got 235/40/ZR17’s and I finallygot my Kyokugen wheel lug-nuts. I’m going to mess around with my spacers and add another 3mm to each of the rears. Hopefully, I can find some coil-overs soon because my front shocks have just about had it. 

I visited this shop called “Cartune” and they importfront clips from Japan and I saw tons of SR20DET’s for my car. Their new shipment is coming this weekend, so hopefully I can find a clean black top sr20det front clip. I’m excited. But it’ll be at least March until I can put the engine in. I’m debating whether or not to get the Silvia Face and turn into a Sileighty. Hmm. Maybe that will be my next poll. 

Next weekend I’m going to the 240SX meet at Shine Street in Torrance. I’m going to be promoting for the 240SX convention that will be in July. Look for info on that here soon. Well that’s all for now. 😉

Happy New Year! Well, its a New Year and I’ve got new plans for my 180SXxy. I just got some new tires today~*some new Dunlop W-10’s 235/40/ZR17. I needed them bad! A year of autocrossing, speedtrialing, going up to touge, and road raging took a toll on my tires.

I finally installed my 180SX gauge cluster. I got jacked though…the rpm wasn’t working but I switched it with my original 240sx one.  I’m nervous about the gas gauge not being accurate. We’ll see when I fill up tonight or when I run out of gas in the middle of nowhere! The 180SX gauge cluster is in km/h and there is no mp/h in little italics…pretty crazy driving in km/h. 65mph=105kmh! The install is gory, I had to be so patient!

WHAT’S NEXT: Within a month, I plan to get Cusco Comp-2 coilovers. Forget the Teins! I’ve heard bad things about them. If I was a ricer who dragged, then I’d get the Teins, but I REALLY race, I need the good stuff.  Also, I’m getting a huge refund from taxes in March/April so how great would it be to buy an SR20DET with it??? I don’t need one, I kick ass right now, but I’d like one. So in the Spring, my 180SXxy will be transformed into a turbo princess. 😉

Well…the Sidesteps are on and the racing harnesses are attached ;). One of my injectors are leaking,but I’m fixin’ it tomorrow.  Good job KA!  How many times do the injectors leak!?  Too many times to count!  $74 each x infinity.  No worries…just going to change my tires in the front and off I goto Speedtrial!  I’ll see you guys there!  Hopefully it won’t be raining when we go.  We’ll be there Saturday 11/25. ;).
