Wow, well, it looks like I have first dibs on a post in here. I'll probably talk too much because that is what I do. Seeing as it is 3 in the morning and I should be sleeping, I don't think that really matters much right now. Today, I got parts in from Z1 motorsports. It was a new radiator, aluminum lower rad pipe and silicone hoses. I usually get my parts from Andy's Autosport or Concept Z but I have to shop around to find exactly what I need. Some sites are better with flashy, chrome applications and some are better suited for JDM, OEM or performance. I had to get an alt. belt as well. It came in today. I already pulled the old rad, dropped in the new one with the trans. cooler I already had waiting and hooked everything up. My fan clutch is shot so I have to wait for that to come in, though I'm not overheating. I haven't risked driving far though. Anyway. So, that's new intake, UR pulleys from Andy's, new belts, new rad and I'm going to order throttle bodies on the 2nd of Jan.. That'll be cool. I NEED NEW BRAKES! Not really. I just got new rotors and changed the pads but one of my calipers is leaking and I cannot decide if I would prefer a reseal or to find used calipers or do a brake upgrade. Money does not grow on trees.
I want to prep my car for the track. But don't we all. But, that is my dream. I want to race professionally. I love racing, I love driving; and street racing is stupid, outdated and dangerous. I'm no saint, very few that claim to be can actually boast upon such an exuberant feat, save a few, so I'm not going to say that I don't break laws. Rules are meant to be broken. "If you don't get caught, it ain't illegal." Ignore the poor choice of words. But still, I'd rather be on a track.
I wanna do it, I wanna be there. And I can't do drag. No, no, no. If so, I'd get a TT 300, chunk Jenny to the side and prance around with 700rwhp and shove the floor board out of a 10 second bullet. I wanna pull lateral G's, I wanna crush opponents in a 50 lap endurance race, I wanna see Infineon and Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta. I want Tsukuba! Yeah, right. But hey, if you want it, you have to chase it; right? If it's not worth fighting for then it's probably not really worth having. That's what I say and it's worked for me so far. I don't mind fighting to get to where I have to be: be it my first event or poll position. I'll trade the paint, take the bumps and engine failures and smile all of the way to the podium.
Yeah, I can do this, I know it. I have faith in myself and in my 300zx. So, I'll fight my way onward. And let anyway step up. First come, first serve...
