For somewhere around 2 months I've been absent. From what you may ask? Anything more than the basics of life.
I didn't do much but work and sleep. I had no urge to hang out with friends, no motivation to work on my car, no urge or motivation to do much but exist to be honest. Then a few weeks ago I went on what was apparently a MUCH needed vacation.
Since my return I have slowly crept out of whatever state I was in and enjoyed myself. New apartment we signed the lease for and have the keys. Just waiting for time to move in. I am pretty excited, my girlfriend is pretty excited.
As far as my car goes, well I am pissed at myself for missing 2 months of the driveable part of the year. I plan to make up for it though. Recently I installed the new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and nismo tranny mount (also resurfaced my flywheel). I have had it all for months and as I stated had no motivation to install any of it. Because I wanted to make it to the CIP meet Tyler and Frankie hooked it up a few nights and put in work with me. We got it done, I made it to the meet, was an awesome day.
I am sitting on some suspension arms; traction, toe, rucas and tension. Also sitting on some JGS rubber motor mounts. Need to get some boots for the heimz* on the arms. I think thats it. daigletron and I plan on making a little bbq and beer date and busting out the arms my motor mounts and his the same day. I also need to change up my front suspension a bit so I can go moar low. Roll my quarter panels so the rear can get moar low. Then an alignment and I will be content with my car (i hope).
Only thing I can think of I might want after all this is an energy suspension bushings kit. Then my car will really be in good shape for when I want to make it faster. I wish I could drop all my dough on parts now, but I saved my pennys for another reason. Way I see it, my car has gone from shit to shine and then some from what it was to what I wanted it to be. In a short amount of time may I add. I never intended on wheels, suspension, arms, or anything else I have done to it minus swapping it to manual and painting it. I am ahead of the curve I set for myself, the snail will have to wait until this winter. For now, I will have a car that handles like a go-kart even if it isn't fast on a straight.
Speaking of go-karts, we went carting after the CIP meet on Saturday. Was an effing blast. I got motion sick half way thropugh the 30 minute endurance race unfortunately. Heat stomach full of water and multiple turns that are basically a giant circle didnt seem to mix. I would love to go again, but will take dramamine just in case. Sad right?
Well I should be going. Going to see about updating this more often in case anyone actually wants to read it. Now that youre caught up, perhaps I will make them more brief but better with more interesting stuffs. We'll see.
