Roadhouse Blues

The plan today was to put together my vehicle so when I drive it on the street the police don't be like.

"saaaay jack, that looks like a race car, shits missing on the insides."

after smog I was trying to get the car buffed so I can roll out to the hat tonight to show the car off. My brother said we will buff the car out tomorrow, he's trying to finish up that Lincoln at the shop (see previous blog entry). Then the shop was like bring the car out Saturday....

Saturday dood? fuck, guess I ain't driving this thing nowhere this week.

At least I should have insurance paperwork and stuff by next week so that's good.

The car will look pretty much like this after it's all buffed up.

The mirror obviously needs to get buffed too but yeah.

I got the car all together around 3-4 minus the weather stripping for the door under the mirrors since I will be unbolting the mirrors for detailing day.

Took the car out for a spin and yet again I have no balls from 2500-5000 rpm.



I seriously am contemplating to have a custom wire harness made from scratch for this piece of shit. I am so fucking sick of troubleshooting maf wiring, troubleshooting maf. This car runs fucking great, idles beautiful, no vacuum leaks, but has no fucking balls in the opening of it's power band. It is driving me godamned insane, I am so done spending money on this thing.

So I have plenty of time to fix this before it finally hits the streets next week...

Look out for Simone at the Hat in Upland, CA next Thursday and the socal-drift 626 meet on Friday night.

peace.

90 percent together..

spraying the intercooler and lower pipes satin black.

Need to get the license plate brackets made too.

The car finally has glass again.

Everything put back together and idling and sitting at temp. I was having some idle issues at first and I knew I heard some hissing, turns out my dumb ass left the IACC hose off hahaha. DUR.

I seriously need to get some black couplers, and in a dream world some black clamps.

I put the hood pin studs in, brother advised not to put the latches on just yet so there aren't dull spots around them when he buffs it. Waiting on word from west covina nissan when my parts will show up so I can finish putting the trim and stuff on.

And the rear window molding so I can mount my rear wing. Otherwise car is drivable, brother was blocking the front bumper with 1500 grit sand paper (color sanding) so it will be ready to buff when he grabs his buffer from the shop.

Other than that, I have an exclusive photo shoot going on for the car before I let some other friends take pictures of it.

boom.

Still a ways to go

put the aero on for color sanding before re-assembly. looks pretty mean.

cant lower the car until it's driving by itself again since we need easy jack access. In due time, in due time.
