wheel spinning time (http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~corrales/240/newpics/S14/burnout.avi)


But first... (err.. second)... got up to like 90% done installing the drum brakes on my car. Just gotta connect the cables and I can park on a hill with the engine running again!! Did a bunch of wrenching with a couple guys (all Sentras).

Now.... finally have AGX's in the rear. New sways coming on tuesday. VLSD is in the works if my parts guy ever gets back to me about a z32 diff.

So... at the end of the day (when it turned into night), I did a bit of testing. You know, to make sure the drive shaft wheel nut was on securely and stuff. Went to do a small burnout, left a bunch of smoke. Yell back "are both my wheels spinning yet??" and my friend says "uhh... lemme check" and whips out his camera. The result is above... although not quite as good as the first. Listen to the turbo spool down after its done though.... I never got a chance to hear that outside the car before.... always nice to hear what your car sounds like from the outside.


Anyone else have any fun on a sunny saturday??

Pick any or all:

Answer 1: so that i can park on hills without having to turn the car off and put it in gear :p

Answer 2: because I upgraded to Q45 brakes which have an 11.4" rotor, and "z32 style" parking brakes.

Answer 3: so I can run dual brakes


For the vid: try right click -> save as. It'd divx.... so... might need a codec. www.divx.com

Does being involed in a high speed chase count as fun?
