its just heat, you're getting too much heat to your braking system. you could do a few things:

backing plates would help although not that much
get brake vents
upgrade pads
upgrade calipers
upgrade rotors

alternatively, you can just never do mission again. personally i like it as a level playing field where you cant just rely on hp

Haven't washed the car since the water restrictions, only been rinsed by the dealership after an oil change. Fuck it, I don't care if it rains the next couple of weeks, got the last wash for the year.

GGRRRRRRRRRR IM SO FUCKING PISS.

A day after I bust it out the city impound. Had a day off work today was gonna change the oil on the beater. Went down stair and I got tow by the fucking strata. Had a visitor pass parked in the visitor spot. Still get tow. I think my car is like a favourite target for for my area now.

$500 worth of tickets and fine and towing fine within 3 days.

Funny thing is I had the car hidden away for the past 7months with no trouble. When I finally decide to take it out for the winter. All these bad luck happens

Drilled a hole into my dining room table while making a battery tie down for the Datsun. This is one expensive tie down. Hopefully finish it up tomorrow.

I really need a bloody garage.

New front tires thanks to the guys at 1010tires after I replaced the bushings on the LCAs. Working on the car Saturday I noticed I had too much toe wear so new tires were needed. New rear tires coming in few months after I 'enjoy' whats left of the rears. I think I need to do something about all the suspension components soon enough though

One last coat of glossifer over anthracite gray dip on the winter wheels before they go on this weekend....should be interesting to see how the dip/gloss hold up. (they already have tires mounted so just gotta bolt them on - 4coats of dip / 3coats of gloss PER wheel)

My creative little battery tie down, for which I sacrificed my dining room table was a complete failure. Don't try being creative, or work with power tools when completely jet legged. It just doesn't work.

I got frustrated and ended up putting a piece of aluminum flatbar into a shitty vice and hammered on it until it looked like this. It's not my best work. But I needed a proper tie down for Auto-X on Saturday.

Beat on the old girl.

First Auto-x in the Datsun, and second ever in general. What a riot. She's a little twitchy compared to the old E36.
