Washed my car today, and my friends and I went up to touge for some photo taking. It was Ken, Antonio, Kyle, and Javierrrrr. Took some group photos, did some donuts and figure-8’s, and then a lot of drifting afterwards. Javier did really well for his first time drifting his new 86. Then he got pretty good at the end of the day, taking better drifting line, and keeping the drift much longer than he was before. Antonio got out there and started to drift too, mid 2nd gear drifts as he was learning how to side brake drift. I was out there in high 2nd gear around 50mph at least. We had a good time, and I’m really happy to see my friends get better at drifting. Plus, all their cars looked good and I’m real excited to see the film when it gets developed. I should have mine by tomorrow afternoon! Haha!

I’ve fixed the front suspension, and now I finally have negative camber… however, the camber adjustment is only compensating for the bad original (positive) camber settings… which I need to be fixed via an alignment job. Once I do that, my camber settings will be much more accurate and even. Now I feel that I must be able to adjust the rear camber as well… more suspension parts? *sigh*

I finally installed my Tein upper pillo mounts today (front only). Thanks to the help of Kyle, one of my springs are seated wrong. Hahaha! Just kidding Bile. Well, I have to take it out tomorrow and redo it. My 180sexy also fixed the fuse for me, so that I could use the air compressor… or I would have sat there cussing to myself in the darkness. So I’ve got some decent camber out of the passenger side, but 0 degrees on the drivers side. Real good job, asshole.

Took the car and out to the beach today with my baby and got some nice pictures… right now I’ve got all 4 SSR mesh on, and I think it looks pretty cool! I am Nadine and Antonio approved. I’m also testing out the Mine’s VX-ROM for a friend… not too much improvement, but then again, my car is barely tuned with an exhaust system and air cleaner. I will play with it longer and figure it out… I freaking had crystals and paper airplanes in my rear seat!!! Bumblebee, why you move your car like that? Oh yeah, I’m actually pretty decent at doing donuts… I can almost keep my front wheel planted in place.
