(1) Wondered how my son got his bike out from between the car and the shelf and over his head (and the car) without scratching/damaging the 240 ... EESH! :ohno: :slap:

(2) Had a long talk with the step-daughter about how her shortcomings & irresponsibilities affect my wallet and why it is exactly I can't afford to put rear tires on it ... still. :tisk: :slap:

... just another day in the life of a family man. :biggrin:

finally got some new rims and tires.. and mounted them. Cheapo 15x6.5 +30 with a dual six star design (made by TOP whoever that is) with oversized bridgestones on them. but I only paid 50 bucks and my stock wheels with no tread left for tires for them so I think it was a good deal. Looks ALOT better now lol.

Also I finally removed my useless p/s resevoir and drained all the useless p/s fluid out since I have no p/s pump. Now I finally have a true manual rack. It's SO MUCH lighter steering now without all that fluid slowing it down. I'm so strong from forcing all that fluid through the system that if feels like I have p/s again. WTF?? lol.

Drove it and it almost overheated, and realized when me and my dad flushed the radiator we didn't put the bottom hose on all the way, but she now is full of coolant again and the hose is right against the radiator.

Also needs new brake pads.

Yesterday I installed some bozo style rear pipe so the exhaust actually exits the rear of the car.
The drone was so bad and I couldn't even talk to my passanger while driving. Now it's so quiet inside and the exhaust probably sounds better outside too.

^nice allen. i need to suck it up and pay for a legit alignment instead of trying to adjust it myself. haha.

pulled the ka out this past week with help from allenms240 and another friend.
today will be cleaning up the bay some more,
and maybe get started on pulling the harness of the RB that's sitting in a vert.

went to fill it with oil, dropped the oil cap on top of the AC pump, right next to the BURNING HOT headers. Spent 15mins trying to get it out w/o burning my hand.

Today
1. put on a new radiator cap.
2. fixed my camber which was slammed to full positive when i hit a raised manhole cover.
3. tightened my sway bar mounting brackets.
4. ordered PS lines
5. traded a 7spoke s13 wheel for a brand new stock s13 exhaust :chuckle:
6. installed said stock exhaust with brand new bolts i got from work :D
7. picked up a PCV valve but don't wanna put it on because of Nissan's ridiculous placement of the PCV valve on the ka24de.

Tomorrow
1. If weather permits, I'll wash, wax, and detail.
2. reinstall some security measures in my car.
3. start my custom wiring harness project, (expect a thread for that coming soon)
