Wheel installed

Finally got the OMP Corsica installed on my car. It feels so much better than the wheel that was on it, now I can actually sit so my knees aren't so close to the dash.

also in picture is the RiverSide Atsushi Kuroi memorial sticker i got from Proper+

Picked up a OMP Corsica 350mm in Suede to replace the "jdm wood grain" steering wheel I had in the car. It will be much better than the wood grain wheel was when driving to the limit. Ill probably put it in the car this weekend if it isnt raining its ass off.

Still waiting for the right deal to pop up for some used 16" or 17" 5x114.3 wheels that are decently light and preferably cheap too so I can do the 5 lug swap on my car.

Not much new in terms of the car, but I did have a hard drive on my computer go up. Thankfully didn't lose all my data on it, but it is quite frustrating. It will be replaced here in the next few days though.
There will be some new parts arriving here for the car hopefully by the end of the next week. Might actually raise the car as well.. *and fanboys on drift forums everywhere just shit a brick in furry reading this*. Reason being is I want a more functional car all around and im a bit tired of the bouncy ass ride with an inch of preload on the front springs. Also with the change in ride height i'll be looking into getting a different differential, possibly a 1.5 way clutch type as well as a different set of wheels and tires with a bit more grip.

Rolex 24 at Daytona 2010

For those whom don't know the Rolex 24 is a 24 hour endurance race with Daytona Prototypes (DP) and Gran Turismo (GT) class cars battling it out around the track for 24 hours. The Rolex 24 signifies the begining of the race season for the year.
This year was no different as teams, drivers, and spectators from all over the world gathered at Daytona International Speedway for the Rolex 24. This years Rolex started off to a very wet start as a storm passed over the speedway but that didn't stop the race from starting as the teams switched out to their pirelli wet tires for the begining of the race. The race was started on time under a full-course caution with both green and yellow flags flying as the Mazda RX8 pace car lead both DP and GT cars through the first few laps of the race. As soon as the track dried off a bit, the race resumed under full green status.
I have to say, this is one of the best races I have ever been too.

Just a random video I found

Haven't updated in a while!

Realized I haven't updated here in a while! Seems everything is work, work, work, some sleep, then more work lately. Catalytic converter on the 240 meet its death on a drive down some back roads, hit a 1.5" diameter stick in the road and it some how knocked the insides of the cat loose... now the car is even louder!

Finally realized my exhaust has to be either redone or a new one made because the current one sits entirely too low. According to my friend who was following me, watching me drive down the back roads was like watching a spark show underneath my car. So thats another thing that needs to be fixed along with the typical northern 240sx rust issues on the strut towers.

Looking to pick up some new carpet for the car after I remove the sound deadening in the car. Also going to pick up a set of the DMax floor mats for it here soon as well as a driver side axle as the one on the car is going out probably due to that it looks like its the original one from 1989... fun...

Still need to source some cheap 5 lug wheels and acquire 5 lug rotors so I can install my 5 lug parts. Thinking of either S14 SE wheels or Z32 Turbo wheels for something to drive on till I get funds for something in bigger sizing.

Also still have my fenders to paint and install on the car when it get a bit warmer out as well as some body work on the rear quarter panels that needs addressing as well. I have my work cut out for me! I see a lot of sleepless nights coming up hahaha.

Also, everyone should check out the latest from the people at FatLace for some fresh gear for 2010!

Some more photos + rolling shots

I finally have the photos from the car meet I went to back in October, Photos turned out nice, quiet happy to have some good photos of my car for once rather than either my cellphone pictures haha. Still tweeking the car little by little. Got an alignment done for it as well.
