Shoes on!

See you soon Edward Ma 03/20/87-07/30/2010

I've recently lost a dear friend in a tragic car accident. Words can't describe what a sweetheart and a great person he was. I was one of the lucky ones to have met him back in his elementary days. Even though we would lose touch every now and then you were never forgotten even if I tried to forget you I couldn't. I was always hearing stories about your car and your races. Every time I see a freaking Honda hatch your name popped into me head. You made a good name for yourself and I'm so proud of you. I still remember our conversation in the 5th grade about Britney Spears and how you made me sing you her fave song "Baby, One more time." XD So many memories that makes me smile and I will never forget our conversation that we wrote on that desk and that ridiculous phone call about your "lesbian GF". And lets not forget you were the first to say to me sentra actually had some power lol. Can't wait to talk to you again old buddy so we can laugh at those times. I wish I can be there in Boston to celebrate your life. But If It counts I'm planning on learning how to do a burnout just for you ;) You have left your imprint in my heart therefore you will always be with me, can't wait to see you again soon. "Everyone leaves footprints in your memory, but the ones that leave footprints in your heart are the ones you will truly remember." ♥ IMY Ed

Yo Nancy! What's up with your car????
Here's a quick overview of what has happen to me in the past couple of weeks since I got my car back. Everything is fine with the motor, but everything else seems like its falling apart lol. So about 2 weeks ago the car started over heating on me. Me and my buddy Rosa was stranded on the hottest day ever in May with a car that was overheating. To make matters worst the heater blew out cool air! I basically kept on turning the car off and on as I drove home and just let it rolled on neutral every time I got that chance. I popped open the hood and saw that a hose was cracked and it was spraying out radiator fluid. Two days later I finally got the hose replace...started up the car for 30 min everything seems fine and suddenly it started over heating again. WTF! Yes I was pretty darn piss! Dang BF gave up on the car and my heart just sank...we let Ralphy sit for about a week and didn't feel like taking a look at him at all...I kept on saying over and over in my head...WE JUST GOT THE DAMN CAR BACK! When we finally got some hope back in our hearts we found out that he was out of radiator fluids hehe (I know we should've checked that out from the beginning)



However 5 days a go as I was driving I started hearing a clicking noise on the driver side wheel, I assume it was the tie rod since he told me we needed new ones....Norak decided to test it out yesterday and found out the wheel was wobbling OMFG! What now!.........To be Cont'

As for now I would like to introduce you to my first ever running 240...this car right here that I am about to show you changed my mind about any other cars....My first manual car....oh how I miss it...he changed my life, for the better or should I say for the rear way...
I miss my old coupe :(

MY BUBBA

Ok I finally got my car back on 04/25. Just ripped out the old motor and replaced it with 95 s14 zenki motor. Original owner of the motor is awesome, heard nothing but good things about him. Man oh man I would like to say there is such a huuuuge different from they way this motor feels compared to my old motor. All I wanted was enough power to cut off these horrible florida driver If I needed too. And gosh g golly george I think I finally have the power to do that plus more! ;D However even though everything seems to be running fine I still actually need to put more work in to old Ralphy...Things that are must in the next couple of months are...


Breaks
Tie Rods
Tires & Rims
Steering wheel
Coilovers
and exhaust...

as for now take a look at my cutie's new heart

Boats and Hoes!

Ralphy's Home!!!!! A much needed car wash today!

Update....

New Motor, New Start, New Paint???

Thinking about it, however "everyone" loves the fact that its stock paint because it gives it that fressssh look. Therefore I think I might just paint the bumper since the last owner damaged it. Ok thats my plan. Bye

Bored....

Goodbye....

240sx, WHY WON'T YOU START????

Dang BF...

As of right now I'm too lazy to fix my car, therefore if I do need to drive it I need to carry at least 3 spare battery with me if I want to make it back home XD

St. Patty's Day

Why is it that I always have the worst luck on St. Patricks Day? So my car decided that it wants to drain all my battery power...2nd time already...first time we changed the alternator...what is it this time?? I need help, I need money, I need most of my problems to please go away. Funny how it happen... I drove the car fine...but right when Norak drove it and than started to complain about how shitty the motor is blah blahblah....the car completely shut off on the road...I think his feelings got hurt :( Wish me luck...since I don't want to sell my car I guess I just got to put more money into it...


I hope I can make it to the 240 meet :(


However, my fog lights came in..that should motivate me to fix my car!

Weekend...

Well this weekend was Cars and Coffee. Usually me and my main squeeze just take one car and go together. However he wanted me to bring out the 240 and he wanted to bring out his rx7. Sigh -_-'' I hate driving on he highway and especially that big Dames point bridge! Been here for almost 3 years no wand only driven on that bridge twice myself lol. I try to avoid it as much as I can... but too late the bf insist so I just sucked it up and drove....So here we go driving, me and the 2 teggy and the 7. I was 2nd in line on the highway. No speeding for me..my anxiety were kicking in I wanted to stay away from many cars as possible. Always had this fear of highway ever since I nearly died 2 years ago. Stupid lady fell asleep at the wheel and was going about 100 on the highway and ram the back of my sentra! My poor baby I didn't even own it for a year :( Ok back to the topic...well we finally got to cars and coffee...uh...honey where are all the cars?? WTF so as we sat there in the parking lot looking like 4 idiots we decided to go get a car wash down at southside. Sigh, here we go again back to sharing the road with a bunch of wreck less drivers. So as everyone cuts me off and leaves me at a red light...I came to realize I was going about 90 and still didn't catch up...the bf said he was only going bout 70-80...ok my car is def lagging... soooo disappointed! Anywho let me just finish the story, after the car wash! (Note: first time driving my 240 into a car wash myself! Can I get a woot woot!) <--- I'm also terrified of those drive thru car wash :( I went online, went on the 240sx.net and notice a new thread about Cars and Coffee... turns out they moved to southside! What! I was just there!!!!! Right down the street getting a car wash! OHMYGAHHHHHH!! I just had to laugh...bf however not so happy...but whatever, I conquered my fear of highways,bridges,car wash, this weekend and I'm so proud of myself!


I know its silly, I've been driving since I was 17 and I'm 22 now...5 years of driving and still afraid of highways?? When I look at my sentra pix, I still cant believe I'm sitting here...our car swerved into the middle of the highway facing the other direction...lucky we landed in the median and there weren't any guard rails...My Dad, BF, Sumo, and I walked out with just minor scratches and sprains...Yes we were extremely lucky...

My Beau!

Took me about 1 year to fall back in love with this car after it gave me sooo many issues. So close to giving up on it and just letting it go. But this year I knew I had to make a change. Not every girl will give in to a 93 Nissan 240sx but what can I say I'm not every girl. It definitely cleared out my bank account but now that I am starting to feel "one" with it (lol) I hope she starts to treat me good. Too bad we are neglecting the RX7 :( But Its my 240's turn to look purrtty!
Fog lights will be in soon! I have to say I loved keeping everything stock which is probably the main reason I didn't want to do anything to it. But too many people "guys" kept on asking "When the hell are you gonna fix up your car?"

Just got my side skirt

Need to get brand new tires

Oil change this week is a must

More Pix To Come!!
