Either my car hates me or is incredibly lazy FINALLY!!!! Update with pics

[Piper1]

Figured I’d now post my frustration :headbang: In May as soon as I pull in for my first open track day and park in the lot my expansion tank cracks right in the lot, (car hadn’t seen cold temps in a couple years and it was 37f in the morning 60s for highs) had to get towed home before ever making a run.

Today I as I pull in for my first auto cross for the year right as I pull into the entrance my tire light comes on and now have a slow leak in my drivers side front tire. Why oh why :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Edit:9/16
I tried my luck figured this was it, if something happened it just wasn't meant to be, no issues on the way there and my car finally let me push it harder then I ever have before, and did it ever, met every expectation I ever had. It was the first time ever on a higher speed course, as I've only done low speed auto crosses in previous cars. Figured I'd post some pics of the day, I apologize for the crappy cell pics and didn't have a chance to have anyone get any of me actually driving, but here they are:
The track:

probably a bit lazy and would sooner go for a leisurely drive

But I thought treating it to a s/c and a lsd would make it happy and wanna go vroom vroom :driving: :rofl:

Wow very unlucky have you walked under any ladders recently

 

[Piper1]

Nope no ladders no black cats no broken mirrors. Maybe it doesn’t like getting washed few days before or the glass all cleaned the night before but it’s starting to feel like it doesn’t like me lol

:rofl: there’s too many places to go with that now

Now a big question. I pulled the wheel and found what looks to be metal maybe like a tiny finishing nail in a big tread block on the the Toyo r1r I’m running and going to take it in to the tire shop to get it pulled out and plugged. Think the tires life is done on the track?

Don't. Chucked the kit on mine and then all ball joints and bushes decided it's time to fail and the handbrake decided to die and cause the power steering to fail and stay in sport mode.
Still months later I don't have this fixed. Changing the parking brake is probably the single worst job on this car.
