Brightness of these days
Go absorb the power of the sun. It’s a brand new day. It’s a brand new year.
I spent Xmas
Reflecting. We came a long way.
“I think I love her, I never met her. I can do better if I get it together”
“And it was so tremendous, I never had to figure out if you really meant it, was never sliced bread or the wheel reinvented, just a couple kids with some dreams tryna kick it”
“On a thousand year old street, concrete trampled on by a trillion feet”
“And we dance and we sing”
Theme for Cabin Racing
Late Night Race
1992 N1 Taikyu Series Rd.5 TSUKUBA 12hours
Endurance racing is my favorite style of motorsports. Driving back and forth from Sacramento to San Diego years ago, felt like an endurance race to me. I would leave my town at nightfall and arrive in the early morning in SD. Late night long driving is my Nirvāṇa.
Moving in circles
Maintenance time. Replaced the timing belt and water pump.
I used to run a valve cover that had the cam gear section cut out for a long time. Thus making the outer part of the timing belt look used and abused. But the teeth where still in good shape. (Around 60k miles)
This cam gear lock tool comes in handy
I wanted to zoom in on the PHYSICAL difference between the GSR and Type R water pumps. Here is a GSR pump, notice the dowel pins:
Type R/ B16 have no dowel pins:
So if you’re stuck from choosing between a GSR or Type R/B16 pump, either will work fine, dowel pins or not. They all perform the same way.
Also, if you have a been using the hanger/flat head method, especially if you have a shaved head or decked block, keep using that method!
And invest on an AUX pulley. I vouche for the Endyn tensioner pulley.
Extra peace of mind.

Hey guess what!
You are not going crazy. And you are not being paranoid. And everything that you’ve been worrying about are the exact things that need to be on your mind. The question is… What do we do about it?
