To that, Chris knows what he's talkin about, he's one of the few members I really look up to and respect on here. It took me 3 years to find my direction and I'm still changing to this day. With gas being $4+ and milk being $5 a gallon, it's hard to afford car parts let alone do whatever you want all the time.

Well i just got back from my trip from FL needless to say that it sucked. i was a standby passenger for jetblue and my brother tells me that i needed to go to JFK to get to long beach. Due to heavy weather in the tri-state area. our flight was delayed almost 3 hours. i finally find out that they had a direct flight to long beach, so they switch me to that flight but my bags where on the JFK flight. I accepted the fact that they couldn't pull my bags 30 mins prior to departure so i said that ill just come back for it later tonite when the flight comes. when i get to long beach airport. the ticket lady said that i should come back when that flight comes. no biggie its not far from my place anyways. i go back there at 11:15pm. flight was delay out of JFK. i stood waiting another 1 1/2 for 1 piece of luggage that wasn't on that plane. so no i had to put a claim for it and if they can't find that shit they are paying whatever is in the bag and the bag itself. total day spent at the airport and plane. 12 hours.
Cliff notes
Long day at the airport
bags were lost
flights were delayed more than 2 hours

Well I just got back from Florida. I saw a lot of nice 2nd gens and a few stock first gens.
Anyways, my mechanic called me and told me that he busted a bearing while replacing my rotors. (Burn in hell hub-over design.) He got the part from Honda and he said it ran him about $350. Does that seem right? I'll pick it up tomorrow, and I know he'll talk me through all of it but that's a lot for a busted bearing. Little bummed about that but oh well. I know he isn't bending me over cause he's been a friend of the family for awhile.
Meh, just needed a place to vent.

I need to put the stock suspension back on... the ride is terrible and the camber in the back is pretty shitty despite the very modest drop.
Anyone know what type of spring compressors to use to get in the tiny coils of the front on the Eibachs?

So i just got shafted by Tire Rack who say they dont ship to the UPS Store anymore. I really really need some new shocks, paying well over 60$ in duty in brokerage really grinds my gears.

I just ordered from egay, hopefully they dont take 3 weeks to come in, i need them for the 19 of July, the next autox event. There probably is a place but it would be darn expensive. Gr2s are 90$ each was the lowest I could find locally. They're 190 for all 4 on egay. So by that, AGXs would be 150+. no thanks
