No more aero. :/

Keegan took his lip back, so I took off the side skirts to match. Maybe I'll get aero soon or something.

Eh, my car is being f***ing stupid. I need to give it attention but I'm too damn lazy.

I need to fix my exhaust leak, it's making the car retarded slow.I need to fix my crank seal.The diff is leaking, who gives a f***, I guess.I need to install my toe rods and RUCAs and get it aligned.I need to remove AC and emissions and install my Nismo mounts.

UGH

Uhhh, nightrider light for the pignose?

Doing some night drifting now? Underbody kit? lol...

Or maybe just an LED 3rd brake light I'm kinda stumped though.

edit: strobes, but those would be long strobes...

YES. MY MAN

I f***ing love neons, they're so good, but only on drift cars. They're SUPPOSED to be gaudy. Keegan hooked it up with this Optix (Streetglow) full LED undercar kit. Color-changing, blah blah blah. He got a kit for himself as well.

$45.

Oh, and KA-T is pretty much out of the picture.

SR will end up happening next year. S15 T28, PBM HMIC, possible hybrid valve cover, who knows. Shooting for 230 wheel.

Price of an S15 T28, and going with the hybrid valve cover, you may want to consider going with an s14 SR. You'll already have a T28, just won't be ball bearing like the S15. You'll also have a much more fresh motor (if you get from a good importer).

I'm actually looking for one of those, but I would much rather have a brand new turbo. There's an S14 SR in Jersey for $1500... But it's a whole front clip.

Reason why I don't want to buy a clip:

1) I have no way of picking up said clip.2) I have nothing to do with the clip when I'm done with it.3) I don't have room to keep a clip.

Anyway, now that I think about it (and that it was pointed out to me) my goal is too low, haha. I think I'll leave the S14 T28 on there if I get an S14 SR and keep it at factory spec, then get an S15 T28 and go from there. I don't, by any stretch of the imagination, need a lot of horsepower.

I actually did work on my car today. :O

I sprayed the coilovers down with tire shine to protect them from the elements this winter.I also maxed my front coils out.

While I was working on my car, the mail man decided to drop off my rear pads.

Then I lowered the rear a tiny bit.

Cause I couldn't find my spanner wrench, so I didn't lower the whole thing, I only lowered the spring perch.

That's what I tell people when they ask why my car's so slow.
