Thanks Grant!!!

Credit for those goes to Matt (and a bit to the heat build-up in the Star Specs), he driving the car really well for it being his first time racing it! He was only 1 tenth off my time and actually beat me in one run, but caught a cone.

Maybe i should try washing my car before events...you never know who's shooting =p

need more low-end torque though... really was apparent powering out of corners into the slaloms.

Matt thinks I should replace the zip ties holding the bumper together with white ones, or chrome, something contrasting. Too flashy/ghetto 240SX look? Opinions? Photoshop someone? Though I've been very surprised by the amount of people that come up to me and say they like it and that I should keep it........

Mainly busy with school and then the 240SX (see build thread here).

You're crazy!

neverLift · « **Reply #352 on:** August 02, 2011, 10:24:31 pm »

Why, because I bought a 240SX? or Because I have seven courses this summer?

I guess both are valid! hahaha

The amount of stripping, painting and powder coating is ridiculous!

Haha it may or may not have gotten slightly out of hand...

I'm planning on doing that to the Impreza at some point too, when I swap it.

Productive weekend, changed a wheel bearing, installed a RSB, washed my car and more importantly my wheels and thrashed my car a bit!

cheers

How bad was the wheel bearing replacement?

Didn't realize it was you out there Sunday. Car looks really good.

neverLift · « **Reply #358 on:** August 08, 2011, 06:18:53 pm »

Pretty easy, but it does require either a puller or a press. I had a special puller that worked great and made it a breeze. Hardest part was getting the hub itself off the chassis.

Thanks! I just need to improve my driving now....espcially since I added the 20mm rear bar, its not much but it still changed the car a lot. I did manage to get down to a 81.343 in the fun runs, unfortunately it wasn't clean at all =(

It's sooooo easy to kick the tail out now! A big lift or a little trailbraking and bam!

On my first run I made the mistake of braking in a slalom, almost spun out completely...

20th? You going?

I'm signed up, you can drive my car again if your parts don't turn up.

uckfaying astardbay.. lol
there's no way i'll keep up to you on my all season's on saturday =(

neverLift · « **Reply #365 on:** August 17, 2011, 03:13:59 pm »

I told you man! Those A032s! They're older, but still better than most tires and you KNOW you want them. Get the money however you can. Don't worry I won't be running these for awhile till I find another set of wheels. Something reallllly light, SSR Spec-C or TE37 or Advan RG (the original model) would be nice. Might even put them up for sale if I need money for school.

My brother told me I'm turning into a wheel/tire/JDM orewhay. I think he's right =(
I blame the trip to Japan.

You'll never find them! No matter what you point at! They are hidden away in a temperature & humidity controlled chamber.

Eh, it went the best way possible. Being flogged at a time attack!

Just means a swap is happening for sure now!!

=D

GrantC · « **Reply #371 on:** August 28, 2011, 08:09:09 pm »

Wow, that's bad. I didn't get a chance to hear it, ,since your car was already parked...

kold911 · « **Reply #372 on:** August 29, 2011, 07:32:04 am »

That noise is way to familiar... Thank god not recently..

Swap.. Any ideas yet? WRX? STI?

neverLift · « **Reply #373 on:** August 29, 2011, 10:03:00 am »

Few ideas, we'll see what ends up happening.

I'm happy it died at the track, versus something dumb while driving around. Makes for a better story! And summer is almost over anyway.
