Old school…Can you handle it?

A little analogy.

I’m just like my car, takes me awhile to warm up. =)

“Fan Girl”

Oops I did it again.

Here’s a little video I made from the clinic.

Too bad the Z’s debut came to an abrupt end when the spindle broke again. What did I do? I was trying to do a donut, was going around in a circle…once I clutch kicked I heard something SNAP, CRACKLE AND POP!  It was game over. What a disappointment! I guess replacing that never came into mind…thought it was fixed lol. Luckily I was able to drive Project student drifter for a bit and my buddy Andrew let me drive his car. Was able to do a couple of drifts and get the feel of it. Can’t wait to drive again.

Anyway just ordered some new rims for the car. My first set of rims are the Advan SA3. I had a lot of pride in owning them til I destroyed one at Star Speedway. Since then I’ve only had 2 on and haven’t put any thought into fixing the other one. They’re still classic and unique in my eye and I don’t think I’ll ever let them go. So in my search on finding new yet affordable ones, I came across a few that were appealing. I came across some old school JDM intercast wheels. Placed the order right off the bat and turned out that they had already been sold but people didn’t update their website. You could say that was pretty disappointing. There was nothing I could do so I kept searching. Options included Work Rezax, Varrstoen, Rota Torque, and I looked at XXR’s. I wanted to stay away from XXR’s because I didn’t want what is had…if you know what I’m saying. I’ve always been about wanting and looking different. Wanted the rezax’s BUT…ended up going for the XXR 521’s because it was more affordable and wise. 500 compared to 1400. Not really my time to be spending money like that with school and all.

They look like this but I got flat black instead of gloss black.

Not overly excited about the purchase but it will do for the year. I just want to have fun. Next event June 11. Be there.

Return of the Z Round 3

This past week has been killing me!!! I never felt so broke in my life. They say money doesn’t buy you happiness but whoever said that lied! We love to go out at least once a week and treat ourselves to some yummy food but instead this week, I spent 50 dollars on food to last us for the next week. =( I guess there’s nothing wrong with that. Instead we spent our weekend doing outdoor leisure activities such as jogging and bike riding at the beach. We also got started on the return of the Murda whip.

We recently got a new motor for the Z…another vg. This weekend we were able to pull out the old motor and see the damage. It was hurt for sure. We pulled off the parts we need to transfer them onto the new motor and I bagged and Wilson labeled all the parts. It makes life soo much easier when you just organize and label your parts/bolts instead of dumping them all into one pile. Mike will be taking some parts to work tomorrow to clean then we should be on our way to putting the new motor together. The Z will be running in no time.

As for some new toys, we were thinking of getting a custom barrel for the advans for a deeper offset. I damaged one of the rims at Star speedway a couple years back and have yet to fix it. So instead, getting custom Wheel shells would be the best/better looking option. I could sell the advans and get new rims but….eh…they’re classic. I’m not letting them go. Hopefully I can get some seats this year and do some interior work to make it look/feel more comfortable. Cage?…possibly. At this rate, it’ll take me forever just to even get a seat and seat rail.

Here is the Z back then

Here is what we got done this weekend

Moah to come…

Anxious

I was told today that my brother will be arriving tomorrow instead of next Wednesday. He sounds like a package. I mean the poor kid is getting on a early morning (1 a.m.) flight and arriving here tomorrow at 12 noon. How inconsiderate of them to place a child on a flight like that. Anyway, aside from being very happy, I’m also very anxious. You know how you wait and wait for that moment, then when it finally comes you’re like “Wait!… Slow down I’m not quite ready yet!” Well that’s how I feel. I mean I’m doing this all on my own. I will be out of work for a few days and I have to settle him into school and whatnot. Ahhh so overwhelming! Throughout all this, I’m hoping my loving boyfriend will give me the love and support I and my brother need to get through this. I can imagine how difficult it can be to be in one home for a year then have to pack up with only a minutes notice and leave what you have gotten used to. He’s been through so much already and all I want is permanence for him. I hope he’ll like it here with us and quickly adjust with minimal problems. After he’s adjusted, then we have to adjust. We’re so used to it just being the 2 of us and having the freedom to go and do as we please. Now we’ll have another person with us….say hello to Mommy Vy and Daddy Mike LOL.
