Wait for the swap…just wait.

Monday, April 29th, 2002

Wow, day 25, still waiting for my swap! I’ve tentatively set a date for my swap: Saturday May 18th, possibly Saturday May 25th. I’m so excited. During these past few weeks I’ve been researching on what I want/need for my swap. There are still a few things I haven’t quite ironed out: my ACT clutch – which type to get, there’s a street modified and street organic, don’t ask me what the difference is cuz I still am trying to figure that out! Also, I’m trying to figure out what vac lines & hoses I should replace on the SR, change all? or change only the ones that are important i.e radiator? or change none. And there’s the issue of oil: these hotshot wannabeeh Japanese mechanics have been telling me two different things, one says Mobil1 15-50W synthetic oil is best for the SR, and the other says Lumbro Moly (this German oil) 0-40W is the best. Whatever boys, I’m going to try both I guess. I have mad road rage and I drive like an ass, so I guess I would need thicker oil??? The 1st 2 oil changes are going to be within the 1st month I have my engine anyway, so I guess initially I won’t have to worry about the oil so much. Maybe I should make an oil poll on my site hmmm…

I really want to get another job, this job I have isn’t paying the bills, especially with my cute taste in SR parts! I need a sponsor! Its expensive swapping your motor! Even if you have the hook-ups, you still need a lot of cash. I checked on my racing seats and they’re coming in June. There’s an AutoX event on June 8th, I hope to be able to test the 180SXxy there with her new heart ;).  My goal is to have the 180SXxy tailored sweet by the time the National 240SX convention shows up in late July. I hope I hope I hope ;).
