Just went to some local shop and had the guy make them. He was a douche though, I only would do business with him because I have to.
But now for the massive update as I type this in a Hampton Inn in Effingham, ILThis trip has been full of fun, failure and spending some time with my father and his side of the family. Well the trip was to go from Sacramento, CA to St. Elmo, IL which is 2,037 miles. Well we were gonna leave early Sunday morning but I convinced my Dad to leave Saturday night at 9pm. We then drove all the way til about 230pm in the afternoon the following day. In the 1st day we covered 1,076 miles. During the night I drove through Nevada desert going about 110 MPH the whole way through. Sometime in Utah on the way to Salt Lake City my car began to get an exhaust leak. It wasn't major. Then about 450 miles later when I actually drove I felt the power struggle and noticed that it felt like my manifold/turbo gasket was leaking. So we stopped at Cheyenne, Wyoming. That's when I looked when we got to our hotel and noticed that indeed a stud had broken, well no biggie since it was Sunday we'll get it fixed tomorrow on Monday. That night at around 12am we leave and immediately notice that the exhaust has gotten worse, we decide to stop at the next town with an automotive shop and stop immediately and get another hotel room and sleep til the shop opens and have them fix it since we have very limited tools. Well, lucky the GPS informs of a shop in Sidney, Nebraska. Which is where I saw the 1st other 240sx. S14 Gold Zenki. But anyways as we pull into the hotel at about 115am we get a room and we start to walk in I notice a trail of oil in the parking lot and follow the trail to my car. Great!! Well I'm not sure what exactly caused it but I was leaking oil and PS fluid. Like maybe my oil return line exploded and my rack was IDK!?!? I know that night I had hit a rodent (Mouse or Rat) with my car. But not like ran over it, I'm curious if he hit my oil line and rack and thats how it got f***ed up!! well so now we needed to tow it. Luckily the body shop 2 blocks from the hotel happened to just get a truck and trailer in that morning. So now the trip was gonna be a AC having truck towing my car. We made the next 2 days with no problems and with some cool pics. Somewhere in Nebraska on I-80 I saw a black R32 Skyline if anyone on here!? Also in Nebraska i saw a black S13 pignose with lip, foglights and se spoiler on the hatch. In Kansas I saw a red convertible stock looking and a gunmetal FD. Tomorrow at my Dad's garage I should have my car on the lift and actually solve everything. The states we passed through in our trip. California, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and then Illinois The pics are in chronological order of being taken...EnjoyMy Dad messin with the camera before we leave!!My Puppy!!!
