Why did UPS have to drop my beautiful pumpkin and bust up my Nismo Diff Cover!!!!

 

OFF WITH UPS' HEAD!!!

 

I feel your pain, I was out in the garage at 1am last night trying to replace the destroyed breather tube from when I had mine shipped via UPS. Ultimately, I blame the packing, but still...

 

It's not that bad, your cover could have a crack running thur it

 

It sucks for sure, the sender packaged it really well but it was clear that UPS f-ed up here.

Oh well crap happens!

 

crap happens? so your just going to bend over and take it in the pooper?

 

Um, no, I already filed claim w/ em and I'm hoping they will deal w/ it appropriately.
They will be coming to inspect it on Monday.

I say crap happens because I was hoping to get the pumpkin swapped and run it this weekedn at a time trial event at Homestead Miami Speedwa....so much for that.

BTW, I HATE UPS !!!

 

Only three!? Break the 4th off. Make it even!

 

clearly.

 

Damn Leo this sucks, keep the modding though!

Are you ready for track racing?

 

Hey Nicolay, missed you at the last few NASA events!

I'm trying to maximize my setup for NASA Time Trials (TTC) and its working nicely. I was finally able to participate in time trials and man its such a blast.

I bought some 275/40/17 tires on 17x10 wheels, awesome grip, this setup is very popular and it works. My homestead lap times are dropping and the car has lots more potential in it, I just need to get smoother. My best time last weekend was a 1:44.3~ which isnt bad at all. I'm sure the car has a low 43 in it if not a 42 with a really good driver.

Btw, I ran this event on the stock brake system but running race pads. The good news is that I didnt have any brake problems, the bad news is that the pads were done by the end of the weekend. Although its great to not have to take +2 points for running upgraded calipers, its not feasable financially as the pads are too expensive to have for just 1 weekend.

Hope to see you out there soon.

 

hey, you did check the flanges (tabs) didnt you? those can be bent if UPS tries hard enough. I think I saw somebody selling a pumpkin minus one stub axle because of a shipping mishap

 

Cool man sounds like you are having a blast, you have to tell me more about this one. Wasting pads is the worse thing about the stock brakes.

I think Im ready to go back to the track, probably for March (???)
