Forever Simone

I saw my friend edgar had a splitter made for his car and he used some rx-7 brackets and retrofitted them to his Nissan Z32. I weighed some of the options from their site and figured the rx-7 brackets were the way to go. I originally offered to bring my car down for them to scan it or whatever they do to design their brackets and they just sent me instructions on how to get a custom splitter made.  I took a tracing of my bumper and mailed it off to RBC after finally biting the bullet to make this purchase, I also added a set of the tire spats. I just figured it would look cool and they're not too annoying of a modification. Below is the proof they sent me based on the tracing I did, I asked for them to make mine 2 inches, I think they do upwards of 4-5 inches for their splitter blades. Just keep in mind you'll most likely have to go pick your splitter up and they don't drill any pilot holes in custom splitters.  Unfortunately my little vlogging camera was not doing to hot t...

I had this footage of me modifying my cluster surround to add the vent for the digital climate controls cabin temperature sensor. Only to find out after I spent hours working on this that someone made a 3d printed insert I could've just put in my cluster surround instead. Now that I've kind of done the work I'm proud of how it came out for my first attempt at plastic welding so I'll just keep it as is since I've already spent the money and time.  I don't think it looks horrible or too out of place, and as always I'd like to try a different interior texture paint with the leather stamping method to eventually refinish this piece.  Slapped this quick video together for those curious about plastic welding because I know a lot of 240sx owners end up getting cracks in their gas tanks and this is how you would repair them. By plastic welding them shut. Or using bondo or whatever, I just feel plastic welding fuses the existing material back together vs adding a for...

It's kind of cool that there is a 240 meet now, trying to make it more low key and 240 only so they stopped advertising when it goes down. I've got some photos from the last 3 months that I've gone, they're not in any chronological order, consider this a photo dump. I wanted to make a little vlog but it was my first time shooting with my new Sony EV-1. Not familiar with how shallow it shoots, it's almost like having a 50mm lense built into it or something in between a 30 and a 50. anyway here are the pics, I'll probably drop a comment or something on the pics as I go down the list here.  First I'll just get pictures of my car out of the way, since this is my blog, my buddy Matt Eugenio www.instagram.com/thedrivingemotions/  snapped these photos of my car about 3 months ago. I always tell myself to bring my a6000 with me but I'm no photographer and I get all mad when I get home and a decent amt of the photos got shit on by autofocus lol. So I just let the...

Sup, just going to do a random photo dump today, semi related to the video above, but not really. Don't use a sledge hammer to knock your ball joints' loose kids... if I can't rethread this, I'm replacing a ball joint which sucks even more. I threaded the nut on here as well, but halfway and bashed it with the hammer. So I think the nut is toast too haha. The Driftworks C2 in all of it's glory with the stanceparts air cup kit, this was very necessary. Gotta put some holes in the shock tower hosings to run the air hose. Normally how most installs go, from a huge bag of parts to... installed Honestly bless Stanceparts for this. I like big pictures Don't really know how important this is or where I'm supposed to mount it, the good news is, it was broken, brand new in box lol. I figure once I sort out my ball joint issue on the other side and assemble at least 1 drum brake then I'll be able to break this axle nut loose, since I decided to be Mr. One Side At ...
