My white S13 Hatch is ALIVE!

I love my white S13 hatch drift car a.k.a. Michelle or PrettyS13. So, it saddens me that she has been sitting in the driveway for the last 2 months collecting dirt and rain. Plus, I’ve been wanting to drive her around. Finally, I was able to change the flat tire on Michelle. Thanks RayBabes for buying and mounting the NEW Dunlop tire! And, I changed the tire myself. *Patting my lazy self on the back*

So, I took Michelle on a joy ride to warm up the rusted rotors & brake pads. From RPV to LA just to go to the Sanrio store then I took the PV mountain road home.

Next, I need to get the tire rods end changed since my Dmax tie rod ends I didn’t even drift on or drive for more than 500 miles decided to lock up frozen. And, get an alignment, motor oil change, differential oil change and maybe a tune up? I think the last time I got a differential oil change was 3 years ago… when Jason and Ray installed my Tomei LSD. Haha Oh, and swap over the matte white Gram Lights 57D’s that were bought for this car BUT I am running it on my daily black S14. Holy, that’s a lot of work and musical wheels. I am so lazy.

My 180SX

It’s the 2nd month of 2010 & this is the first time I have seen my 180SX. Looking at these pictures of the car I totally need 4 lug spacers… damn sucken wheels. I want to be hella flush.. I also need to come up with $120 pronto for these spacers! The good part is that the hatch is currently parked in the El Money driveway & will be getting a lot of TLC & work done on it.

Back in like November 2009, I did a mini photo shoot thingy. It was a spur of the moment thing… hence my attire. Btw, I only edited the lighting of the photos.. should have spent time fixing my messed up face… This was the first time I was at the LACMA tar pitt area.. next time I actually want to go inside the museum. Interesting because… I didn’t know if you had a Bank of America card you get free admission on certain days. And, I can’t forget to thanks Jamz! for the awesome photos!!!

SR 240SX = FUN

The other day I took a big scary risk and drove my PrettyS13 hatch down to hang out at my Mom’s. I miss how fun it is to drive this car… I can actually keep up with other people and cut them off. I also feel like I relieve some stress when I drive this car.. even if I am paranoid as hell looking for cops. Luckily, I just paid for the registration, got the car smogged and just transferred the title under my name. So now I have an S14 and S13 under my name. Yay!

Btw, here’s a picture of the hatch at Shell while I was getting gas… then outside of the Lawndale City Hall. The Lawndale City Hall and Library looks so nice.. I want to have a real photoshoot there one day.

Oh, thanks to Ray for replacing my rear bushings. Can’t wait to put on my window visors.
