<\/strong>13,358 miles. So I’ve been driving around with a leaky downpipe for exactly a month now. The stud on my turbo outlet pipe is still broken. I’m going to take my car to Gushi Auto<\/a> on Wednesday to have them fix it.<\/p>\n

I think I might have figured out the problem with my muffler. It seems that my new Trust Downpipe is the culprit. The Trust downpipe is sold to “fit” on both the S13 AND S14. They aren’t the same downpipes though. The S13 one needs an extra bracket to connect to the mount in front of the cat, meow. And its not there!!! How stupid is that. Don’t get a trust downpipe, they’re just trouble.\u00a0 I’m going to try out a 5Zigen downpipe, which is 70mm and is made especially for the S13.\u00a0 My Trust is 80mm, but I think I’m missing the bottom end power that the stock downpipe used to give me.<\/p>\n

I’ll be driving at Drift Day 7 at California Speedway. Its going to be so hot.\u00a0 Also, I’m going to Buttonwillow in the beginning of August for a Drift Association event, its a training session for instructors.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m going to go there to practice my krispy kremes and racing line.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided that I’m going to just replace my stock brake master cylinder with another stock one and rebuild my calipers. I have the Z brakes, but I have no time or money to get lines, rotors, redrill the rotors etc.\u00a0\u00a0 I plan to go 5-lug towards the Fall, after my bday (hopefully I’ll have money then to buy my new work wheels). So right now I’m going to concentrate on selling my extra parts (bumper, bov, wing, etc. ~they’re on my bbs if you’d like to check em’ out) so I can go pick up my Bride seats. They’ve been callin’ out to me for months.<\/p>\n

I’ve been receiving so many nice emails from people who read me & Benson’s article in Drifting Magazine (presented by Import Racer)<\/a>. Thank you again, your comments are so inspiring and thoughtful~*the emails are what keeps my love for my car & drifting alive.~*Well happy tuning and drifting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
