Amazing what a little maintenance will do

Well, my lower body is completely shot, and I'm here typing this before I knock the hell out on my bed. I went to a meet last night (Edgewater for those who know) after removing my wing, and was talking with some 240sx owners about my 240z. Someone pointed to the SVX and asked, "What about that thing?", and well, I've assigned it the duty of DD at this point, but have done no maintenance thusfar.

I broke dawn and waited for Autozone to open. I changed my rotors and pads all around, did a tune up (fun plugs), changed my belts that were about to tear off, changed the oil/filter with some good ol' amsoil 10w-40, and changed the transmission fluid, adding 2 quarts of the lucas transmission additive in the process. The results were awesome to say the least. Power is smooth, brakes are strong, no squeaks, and (drum roll plz) my transmission doesn't slip in the 1st to 2nd shift anymore.

After getting back, it's crossed my mind to sell the 240Z and keep the SVX as my primary focus as far as cars went. ECUtune stage 2, exhaust, and intake. Could order those no problem if I had one less car
