Auto-X in Aneheim was fun yesterday. It was real close to my house, and I got to try some new tires… Potenza RE711’s! I got a decent time, but I was really driving way to slow. I should have pushed my car harder, but there was loose sand all over the track, and I kept understeering. I also need a new suspension set up… what I was running on was pretty bad. Also, I got some new wheels! They are gold 15×7 SSR formula mesh wheels with a +10 offset. There is a really nice polished lip on them. I am very happy. Also, I picked up a new bumper too… AB-Flug. It is a very popular bumper in Japan for drifters. Just gotta get it painted! Oh yea, I picked up a hollow cat too, from a ’94-up 240sx. The reason why it is hollow is b/c the s14 actually has its cat in the header… the cat after the header is actually a dummy one, just for visual inspection. I need some new tires up front for daily driving… I don’t want to waste my RE711’s on the public road. I’ll probably get another set of RE71’s. Those tires are great too. Any tire sponsors out there?? Drive safetly everybody.

If you were curious, I calculated my gas mileage yesterday, after driving freeway miles for 180 miles. I get 27.5 miles per gallon, cruising at 85mph most of the time, and ocassionally getting up to 110.
Lesson of the day… Don’t ride on 50 series tires if you would like to keep your Blitz nur-spec muffler intact. I am constantly scraping, and I’m waiting for the day I get my exhaust leak. Anyway, this weekend I’m going to see if my friend’s hollow cat fits my car… it will if it is from an s14. If what my friend says is true, my boost should go up a bit. Also, I’m gonna try to wire up all the unwired stuff on my car: turn signals on my corner lenses, foglights in the center, and boost gauge. I might even take off my dash and install my jdm gauge cluster. We’ll see. I only have saturday to do all of this.
