Oops. The car that twice I said I would never get rid of is gone. The final explanation of that is that sometimes ones appetite is bigger than one’s stomach. This car simply got too hard for me, and it was all my own doing. If I had more money it would have stayed in storage forever, probably tuned even harder and driven any less.
And I say driven even less, but that’s probably impossible. In the last few years of it’s time with me I only found a couple opportunities to take this car on a closed course and really enjoy it. It was amazing there, but an embarrassment and pain in the ass on the street. I loved it dearly, but don’t miss it at all now that it’s gone… especially when I see it rolling hard around town all glassed and vinyled up.

Tough Times... all the money is gone. WTF. I guess I'm waiting on a shipment of goodies from Japan to get me started again, but in the mean time, there isn't much going on. Masaharu told me I had to wait until after 8月6日 though before he would send my stuff... I'm hoping that means he'll have some special swag to throw in the boxes. It's a long wait though...
Well here is a better picture for those who aren't on forums where such things already exist. Not that it's really a GOOD picture... but whatever. The hood is up, and it is notable that perhaps the best thing that Paul did for me was throw spacers between the hood hinges and body, rather than between hood and hinge as I had. That allows the hood to open wide and stand straight up without support. Unfortunately this realization was found after a trip out onto the track without the hood pinned down. There are some minor damages there.
I've been grinding pretty hard lately... but I did find time to make it out to the garage this morning and do some analyzing. I am happy that my former project/parts car is still around. It is true that this may have been a track dog at one point... but it is not that now [...]
