Ok so Cody (shadytrixta1) and I decided on Friday to go to fun day run day the 1/4 mile track in Bradenton. Like 45 miles from the house. So let me take you back to weds... Cody was adjusting my blow off valve on my 240. So Cody was driving and drifted this corner (out of my sight) and popped a hose off. We noticed that the hot pipe was really dented bad and was hurting my set-up. Friday Blake (vertigo) came over when a few of us were working on the wiring on my car. He said he could fix my pipe, cool. So he ends up drilling holes in my pipe to use a dent puller.... mmm not the best idea for i/c piping. So anyway we had to locate another pipe. Cody found one from Dan and we cut the bad section out and used a coupling. Well now we have coupling pop off problems. Wolf came over, fyi he has the 280 with a LS2 in it...BALLIN, anyway he brought me some clamps and we flared it out and still pop off, but not as bad. Here is a pic of master tech Cody helping Wolf work on it....



Sooo anyway now its Sunday. Fun day run day and its open from 10 to 5. So we are leaving at 8am.... at 1030 I go to Cody's and wake his ass up and we head out. Now Cody's gf and my wife Dora are takin the kids to Busch Gardens so Cody is driving them in his car and I am in the 240. I take off from Cody's street and punch it to test the coupling... Spinning 1st to 7k rpm's and BAM into 2nd spinning all crazy catchs and next thing this damn sheriff jumps out in the street on foot... I had to lock the breaks up cars all sliding.... he is like are you crazy as I am laughing. Um see what had happened was... I needed to check my coupling... he was all how about Sorry Deputy I wont do it again... Um Sorry Deputy ...mumble wont... mumble...again. I hate lying to them....lmao.

Ok we get to the track and Cody is driving. First pass 14.5 @ 97. Second pass 14.4 missin third. Third pass 13.9 @ 99.9 fourth pass 14.0 @ 87, lost boost... coupling... boo. Fifth pass 14.4 ......... flat tire. We call Cody's buddy and my new BFF Dan and he has to come back cause he left a half hour before that. Brings me a tire a 205/60/16 and my other one is 205/55/16 not good for the Mismo LSD. We finnally leave and head home. The car is pulling both directions at different times. I was like Cody does the different tire size make it pull this hard???? He said maybe but it seems wierd. We get on the freeway and thud, thud, thud....



ANOTHER FLAT... WTF.

So the daredevil super stunt drift dirver that I am roll on that mess for 2 yes 2 miles... the result...













So Daryl luckly was with Thiago and he had his spare... what luck. So Daryl and his boy Nick drive an hour to bring it to us. The Pilot gas station had buy one get one free corn dogs FTL... lol. Oh yeah and when we got there we got shat on by a bird and Cody and I thought it was raining... Then we noticed it was brown... anyway we go to change the wheel and guess what the fronts have locks on them and we have no key... we used a 17mm and 2 hours later we got them all off. Sweet we may get home...not. The f'n spare is the wrong size..... omg. Ok so this guy in a metro vert pulls in an Daryl asks him if we can have his spare, in so many words. He was like I am going all the way to Tampa for the Bucs game and i may need it... But he offers to take someone to his house and get some old rim he has.... sweet. So Cody takes one for the team and steps up and does what he has to do to get the tire. Don't ask don't tell Any way he gets the wheel and the pattern is right but it cant go flush against the rotor because the whole in the middle is too small. I was like f it I busted the cap off and stuck the wheel on tightned it down, stripped one stud and we rolled out with three lugs five threads deep. It took us about an hour and 15 mins to make the 30 mile drive but hey the dk whip is in the garage..... safe and sound.

FUN DAY RUN DAY???? NOT SUNDAY.

 

shit was an adventure

 

Good job on the tire.

 

fixed.

 

One was an accident, the other was stupidity.

 

that car gets around lol

sounds about like a day in the life of a 240 owner

 

the rim was already bent. so not sure on the whole stupidity comment. they both poped on us. but yeah they pretty much could both be chalked up as stupidity cause the car has stupid neg camber in the back and we should have checked them all before we went but it was a good/frustrating time. as dan said "hey at least your with friends...."

 

Driving on it was the stupid part.

 

thnx for the ever so pointless story. i though something cool would happen other then your sr running 14's........ all i got out of that was you need tires.

 

np, yeah the rim was already screwed up so it didnt really matter.
