D-Day for White Heat is this Friday!!! Thus, I will start going to University Ave. EVERY Friday & Saturday night again. I have this Friday and Saturday off (this is the first time this summer!), but I have to work Sunday. Thus, we should have a "mini meet" this Saturday instead of Sunday so I can join. We can even meet at my place We can do some installs, have a 'lil BBQ, etc. Maybe we can go for a cruise through Stillwater and later hit up University Ave... What do ya guys think?

Got signed up today for the Amery Airport speed run!! Woot!
I'm super stoked because I have been trying to get into this for a while and I just found an open spot. 8/22 at the Amery airport I'll be finding out how fast the scoobs can go in half a mile...

tonight was one hell of an adventure.. i pretty much had to figure out how to do everything by myself.. i went through 5 cans of manifold cleaner, and then had to reinstall the stuff... then once everything was sealed back up i tried turning it on. wouldn't even turn over. couldn't figure out if i dropped a bolt(which i was careful with, covering up the open manifold), battery was dead, or something else like hydrolock.
after finding the battery was fine, i tried turning the engine a couple times with a wrench, was hard as fuck. then took out the injectors and spark plugs, and tried turning th engine. still wouldn't budge. had my friend start the car while i was manually turning it(by accident it happened at the same time) but it made it break through the hydrolock. then the engine started barely coming alive when all of a sudden all the carbon buildup and manifold cleaner left over in the engine shot out one of the spark plug valves. it would've shot a good 20ft if the van with a custom business sticker across the whole back of the van had not been 5 feet behind it.. long story short the van's sticker is ruined. and my car is barely living, i'm hoping it gets better

Slappy, put new plugs in and see if that helps. You might have fouled them with the manifold cleaner, which I think you are supposed to use on the manifold when it is *OFF* the car...

the intake manifold is cleaned while off, which i was on top of.. but the lower manifold was where i fucked up. it's supposed to be cleaned with the shit i used and a rag, not just sprayed out like on the intake. i may switch to some pusle plugs or ngk iridiums or w/e, see how that goes.. although it was ripping pretty hard at the end of today, although at the beginning it got hydrolocked at the top end, especially at higher speeds.. i hit like 95 and it started stuttering and almost died, but then after i gave it 5 mins of 60 after that, it was able to rip again

Next summer im really going to make it out to a few though. I am sure the G would do fine and should still have enough in it to make it a good time, even though its a bit of a boat.

Don't feed the...WTF?
Finally picked up my XSi. You'd think the damn thing was printed in japanese or something. I can barely figure out how to take a picture let alone be all super fancy with it. I have to say.. no matter how good you think your P&S camera is... it isn't shit compared to a DSLR

Just a reminder, tomorrow morning, 9am at the parking lot across from the MOA, our meet is happening.
Gs, a few Zs, and a few cars from Eurowerks will be joining us. Hopefully a few of you guys will be able to come out and rep the Acuras!
If its raining and crappy, we will be just taking pics etc as a cruise in the rain wouldnt be so hot.

i will be going to the meet though.
adn as for the sc3/400.. i want manual, and the 400 doesn't have manual, meaning i'm with v6 fun again
