Unhappy Please kill me. What a horrible day.

Ok, so today the pads up front finally decided to start digging in to the rotor. I was waiting for this to get the Rotora deal up front.

So i run up to orlando and pick up the rotors and pads (sorry tim, i needed them now otherwise i would have got them here!).

On the way back from O-Town, i have a new problem. The Map sensor on the throttle body starts to f*ck up. If the car is parked, and you turn it on, exactaly 13 seconds later, the comptuer shuts the car off. Fantastic. If while driving, the car drops below 1,000 RPM, the TCS light comes on and the car shuts off a few seconds later. If you catch it before the few seconds, the car will change the rev limiter to 3,000 RPM. Neato.

So i had to drive home with that problem.

THEN on the way home, almost home, preoccupied with the problem at hand, im behind a Camry and all of a sudden a speed limit sign comes FLYING out the back of it, slams in to my new front bumper, and f*cks it up, a lot.

THEN TO TOP IT OFF i get home and realize they gave me the wrong pads, Metal Masters rather than the Ultimates.

Please, PLEASE kill me. I dunno, i guess 2003 didnt think it did enough bad sh!t to me so it wanted to get one last thing in.

Neway, happy new year everyone.

yeah pics coming soon, gotta get the camera back form my buddie.

i guess looking on the upside, coming back on I4 there was a wolf pack of 5.0's checking speed and the V1 picked them up just fine, which if it didnt, i would have went to jail for sure since i was playing with a guy in a TT on the freeway...

After troubleshooting today, ive determined that i have no idea what the problem is, or what i am doing in general

im going to drop a call to a buddie of mine thats an acura tech and see what he says. i REALLY dont want to have to tow this thing to the dealer...
