 Bled the clutch fluid yesterday... test drove car today... all good... Oil pressure gauge not working is really annoying especially because it was working when I took it to Scallys auto... fuckers... Useless redneck fucks...
 Did a break fluid bleed a couple days ago... DOT 3 instead of DOT 4... apparently it absorbs less moisture but has a lower boiling point... Since I'm only driving early morning to the Café :) and no more track days in the near future, it seemed to be the best choice... Also tried a new technique ... used a small plastic drain bottle like normal but as soon as the tube was full I had Atsuko keep pumping while I just kept the nipple open. Had to stop every so often to make sure the reservoir didn't empty, but it was much faster then the loosen tighten each time method ... Doing for a drive in a couple hours... its 4:20 AM... could not go back asleep...
  added this bottle to engine oil today... Also I fabricated a short shift tab that helps getting into 1st gear a little easier... Not perfect but totally livable... Ima soooo happy I was able to get Yoshida running good again... Looking forward to next café run...
 drove car today... vacuum leak fixed a lot including the need to wait under 2,000 rpm to disengage gear so it doesn't idle high... That fuck'n Linh mechanic is worthless...  anyways... also no problems getting into gear... except for one new issue... 1st gear is a little hard to get into ???? replaced the 2nd shift cable to OEM, didnt fix the problem but Im happier having OEM then MR2 Heaven... also changed transmission fluid...
