To Drift or Not To Drift?

May 26th, 2011 · No Comments · Drifting, Musings

Drifting While I am head over heels in love with road course driving and racing, I have a huge soft [...]

My Return to Racing!

May 17th, 2011 · No Comments · Car Event, Driving, Photos, Racing

One thing I missed terribly was racing. While I’ve never been fantastic at it, I also know I have potential… And I want to develop this potential. It’s important enough to me to work on it. Plus autocrossing isn’t terribly expensive, so I can easily afford to do it. (Especially with my job.) As long [...]

Summer Project: Clean Engine Bay!

April 28th, 2011 · 2 Comments · 240SX

One thing that I know for sure about show cars is that they are scary clean. Like, super scary do-you-even-drive-it-anywhere clean. Because I want my 240SX to be a show car, she too will one day be meticulously clean. I hope. I also know that it will be a long, long, long road to get [...]

Having an Old Car…

April 14th, 2011 · No Comments · 240SX, Photos

Okay, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh — Let her think she isn’t that old. But when it’s all said and done, my 240SX is 21 this year! She also had a very sketchy maintenance history. We knew that when we bought her, and weren’t too worried since the SR20DET swap was always a plan for her. Why bother to [...]

First 2011 Car Show

April 7th, 2011 · No Comments · Car Event, Photos
