got new tires on saturday. 245/40-17 all around. off brand, but treadwear of 280 and a warranty. grease monkey put tab weights on the outside of the wheel even after i explicitly asked for sticky weights that go on the inside rim. fucking fatass [insert racial term here] didn't listen.

got it aligned at S&R after that. taylor did a great job. forgot i have no camber adjustment in the front. my brother has plans for quality coilovers in the future though. car drives great, but it's super bouncy in the rear. poly in the rear uprights and traction rods. solid spherical (from SPL Parts) rear lower control arm bushings. fail. taylor said it's the bounciest 240 he's ever been in. oh well not my car to worry about. it's a weekend tracker anyways.

getting a 6amp draw somewhere and tired of disconnecting the battery. brother is gonna pull fuses and track it down if he can.

got new trunklid rubber stoppers, wiper arms and blades from nissan, and a jdm oem front grille.

delivered it to my brother today, it resides in a nice secured garage now.

cleaning out garage, be on lookout for some parts for sale soon. if anyone needs zenki or kouki s14 harnesses (body, engine, dash, tranny - they are hacked up a little but are good for sourcing connectors and such), they are free for the taking.

the 240 isn't mine anymore. i. am. out!



time to get crackin on the mazda. low 300s to the wheels should be enough to spank down plenty of cocky SR swappers

i'll still be around to check on tech stuff and try to share my knowledge so i don't forget it all.
