Wow its been a while since ive blogged, i guess i just havent really bothered too which is bad since i just use facebook as a bit of a blog now (my fb is antonio pappa) So nothing much has been happening really, keeping up with work and my car.. Which today may have done some big damage with the bearings.
The clutch has gone in and i drove it Christmas Eve home.. where it sat for a bit and broke the oil cooler a few times washing my bay with my expensive Motul oil, Which may have stuffed my engine due to starvation..
Wow its been a while since my last blog, ive been extremely flat out the past few weeks, mucking around with my car and a few mates cars.. mainly there cars haha..
So on the topic of cars ive been able to get most of my parts sorted!
- Exedy Heavy Duty Cushion Button
- Custom senders for Apexi > Greddy Sandwich Plate
- Bride Seats in
The gearbox is still in but were hoping to tackle it tommorow a mate of mine is lending me his air compressor so we can do the flywheel up nice and tight.
Battery will be bought soon aswell, then she’s good to roll, I got some new rims a pair of VSKF in 17×9.5 -27 which will blog about and throw some pics up tommorow possibly, also got some CR-Kai aswel hehe
havent blogged in a while so need to get back into it!
Slowe’d down a bit with work on the car since i was studying for a microsoft exam being the 70-620 i think LOL, passed that with a 776/1000 score which isnt to bad.. now its time to get back into the car
With so much to do i didnt really know where to start so i begun with putting my bride seats back in, then noticed i didnt put the clip for the seat belt so out they are again haha..

Buy Exedy Heavy Duty Cushion Button
Buy Battery
Custom make oil cooler sender for gauge
Put seats back in with belts
Weld in Handbrake handle down
Been a while since ive blogged, so i thought i might do a bit of a blog on a mates front bar im repairing..
So now that im at home sick Sammi decided to drop by and give me his 32 GTR front bar for some TLC, it had various cracks thru out the fibreglass and a nice hole, all in all the previous repair job was very rushed since nothing was even sanded back to a ‘kind of smooth ‘ state so ill see how i go with getting it upto scratch and atleast not a safety hazard!
ahhh todays just 1 of them days that you dont know what to do what to say how to react.. and in that defense here’s a tuff 180sx i really have nothing to say i dont want to comment on nothing so yeahh.. Enjoy
So i had my phone set to Private Number so when i would call people they either wouldnt answer or not know who it is, On a Nokia/Sony it would be as easy as a few clicks in the settings page and your done.. This is how confusing it is to do on a Blackberry Pearl.

So.. over the past few weeks ive been having incredible dramas with my computer its been a trusty computer and has given me no issues, altho as of late its been giving me the shits with continously restarting, i diagnosed it to not being the power supply by giving the PC only enough power to run a CDRom and it went on for days, so i thought it may be the OS well it wasnt and all of a sudden it crashed and i lost all visuals no bios screen, swapped gfx tested various things MOBO DEAD!
My trust Intel 3.2Ghz HT that was oc’d to 3.8ghz had done a MJ on me and died unexpectedly
Ive been sifting thru looking at what to by and have my eye set on a fair few things now i just need to knuclke down and get it all going, Should be updating shortly with some pics and specs of most of my purchases
Theres a few stories with my old computer ill surely miss it, Ill do some updates in the next chapter…
