well, this hasn't been updated in a while, so here's whats new:
1) end of august, I replaced the front bumper with a "pignose" bumper from a 90 240 that I got at a junkyard. It's uglier, but the bumper cover, foam insert, and metal bumper total cost me ~$80, so I'll deal.
2) beginning of October, I did the first actual tune-up since I've owned it. Replaced plugs, wires, distributor cap, and distributor rotor with Nissan or OEM equivalent stuff. Didn't really feel any faster than it was.
3) tracked at last NASA event at Summit. This car has never felt so good. Maybe the tune-up helped, or maybe the car and I were in-synch that weekend, but it drove flawlessly and actually felt FAST :gasp:.
Not really sure where this car is headed just yet, but I love it. So far, it has 1,386 miles on the track, and has been pretty much trouble free in all aspects. I'll put up some pics before too long.
