Sunday drive

February 7, 2010

Been having more intermittent fueling issues with the KDR30 lately (ever since Japmeat). This time it literally sounds like the factory Nissan pump is on its way out, with its incessant groaning and buzzing. Which is fine by me since I was planning to replace it with a Bosch 910 anyway… but still, annoying.

today the pump was behaving for once, so after a quick vehicle detail I went for a nice leisurely Sunday drive with camera in hand. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of shooting with manual-focus Olympus prime lenses from the late ’70s-early ’80s, and the results have been nothing short of impressive considering all of these optics are over 25 years old. much like the coupe!

wedgey goodness!

as always, driving the coupe around was a treat and a half, especially in this oppressively muggy Auckland weather with the A/C cranked up. hopefully the pump lasts another couple months or so; should give me enough time to order that Bosch, wait for it to arrive, and have it installed.

In the meantime… anyone want to buy some SSR Meshies?
