Editing and Waiting...

Still figuring out how to edit my Go Pro footage so I can get that posted on here and still waiting on pictures to surface online from the event last Saturday.

So I will leave you with my favorite Option Video Vol.88 "2001 Round 3 Bihoku"

You guys should know why... lol



Thanks s0apgun for uploading this!

Prep Work continue...

Hella shit has happen before the event, so I wasn't able to blog during the process.


Day 3: 


Replaced my whole ebrake assembly from my car. Hope this shit locks now!



Jacked my car in the garage.




My Babies:

SSR Vienna Kreis

My lady came to visit and gave me a hand. She is always down to learn and get dirty, just makes me love her even more.



Bought some drift spares and a new seat

xxr526 17x10 +20 =( ... (wish I didn't sell my extra set of Viennas Kreis), Corbeau Forza

Messed around and slapped on the wheel caps to see how they would look on and they're not bad looking. Might run them for the event. Pretty much put the car together again...





Finished the ebrake. Tested it out, it was still spongy! FUCK!

Out of no where my radiator started to leak. It was leaking form the fins... sad life!



Day 4:


Stressed and bummed dealing with more problems. Took me till 3 AM to figure what I wanted to do buy a new radiator, or a stock one, or borrow one for the event. I went and bought a stock s14 radiator off a friend.

Left: Old                               Right: New

Just sucks the top mounting points are different! One answer to that, "Zipties"... lol for now!

Back on Jacks... 



While waiting for this shit to flush out. I went ahead and rebleed the brakes again. Found out that I have been doing it wrong. It says to bleed farthest from the brake cylinder so you would think:

Passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, then driver front.

Apparently the correct sequence is:


 Driver rear, passenger rear, driver front, then passenger front.


This is going along with the 240sx manual diagram with the distance of the brake lines from the cylinder. "CRAZY!" But it works and feels great now.

Hammer time!

Done!

Day 5: 

Oil Change!


New Vinyls are in!


All that glitter bitch!


Excited to use this for the first time! Thanks baby, best gift ever.


She's washed up and ready for battle for Stockton's Fairground Drift Event!




Coverage on the Event soon...
