Vegas Drift, VD23 – 11/18/2012

Going to mostly write something here, mainly because it was a wacky day.

First off, it was awesome to drift it finally. I am now catching on as I am doing so much better and I can feel it and it shows.  I was having so much fun but on the down side I was having weird as hell issues that day, first I over filled the power steering fluid I guess because it busted out of the filler can.  So about lunch time is when it really happened, I initiated the drift and then I lost all power as soon as I clutch kicked.  From there it failed to start, I could not get it started as I was not getting any spark from the coil at all. Replaced the coil but it took like 3 hours to get a new coil due to my brother took a bit to get there and then we had to run to get his wife from work.  So by the time I returned, installed the new ignition coil and it still would not turn over.  As the event was ending, I decided to call for a tow because this problem just has to be escalated to figure out the problem.

The next day I was able to find the issue inside the distributor as the sensor blew up inside. Once I replaced that sensor I was able to get her started again. Overall, I had fun but it sucks that I missed out most of the day due to simple car related maintenance issues.
