Got my car all done up just in time for the bleh weather. New front lip, got my vc painted and installed, flush mount VC hardware from skunk2, injector cover re-polished, stock airbox mod on the supercharger.

My car is SBD mode now. Sounds like a stock civic, drives like a stock civic, but past 5000 rpm, its fucking beast mode.

Nice whips^^^you guys are making me wish I had buffed and waxed the cars instead of mowing the grass this weekend. BOTH rides need some TLC. I think the only real work I've done on either one is put on windshield wipers.

Waited on hold with eBay fix issue with item that was bought by Polach idiot who can't read "NO international shipping." Worse than PayPal. At least with them you know that your not gonna get help. EBay bitch answered and hung up on me. Could be worse. See: eBaysucks.com

Gonna have to rent it again. I have a couple requests in at the library so next time I go in I'll request it. Saw it once in the theater. I didn't know what to expect with that movie, I'd love to see it again.

I saw an interview with them, they said it was really expensive to shoot. I think it had limited success because of the 18-34 audience. If you can't get everyone to go see it, like "The Titanic," producers won't fund it. I wonder what their plans are for the future. I watched the Simpson's last night, it was horrible. Not funny, or even fresh (sure it covered the big vote...blah). I've kinda lost interest in TV and the cars. I've turned my attention to vintage electronics. That way I have something to work on when I'm spun (kidding) that doesn't require me finishing it up that night so I can drive to work the next day. Working on some really cool Harman Kardon shit right now. Needs cleaning and a little TLC.

This Sunday ***holy Shit*** Finding Bigfoot Premieres November 11!!! Love that show...although they never seem to find what they are looking for.

I've been out in the woods many, (many times as a kid), there was only one time that I thought there might have been something as intelligent as me but not human out there. I was camping with Carrie in a pretty well used area when I went ahead to scout out another part of the lake. I came upon an area that looked like it got a lot of use but there was no evidence of campers. Then I heard two knocks. Normally I'd think this was just a snag rubbing up against another tree, but there was something about the timing of the two sounds. They were identical and perfectly spaced. You know what I mean? It was as if someone intentionally made the noise. Knock...1,2...knock.

Scarred the shit out of me, (as I type this, the hair on the back of my head and neck is standing up on end). At the time I shrugged it off. Now that I'm older and wiser I know a little more about how the mind works. There is an actual timing mechanism in our brains that is like a quartz clock. There are neurons that fire at certain intervals which give us a kind of inner clock. This is why I got so freaked out. Those two knocks were perfectly timed just like someone knocking on your front door. Only instead of three (knock, knock, knock), there were two, like as if the middle one was silent. Sooooo Creeepy. I didn’t have my gun either.

Exhaust install day on Wednesday. Hope all goes smooth. And if it finishes early enough, gotta head out to SE Portland to trade FX exhaust for the Unichip.

I stopped wrenching few years ago except some simple easy stuffs. Just don't have energy and motivation to lay on the ground and get dirty.

I take all the jobs to Speed Concept now. I even take my other families and friends vehicles to them and bring in lots of business. That way I get some really cheap pricing on installs and pay dealer price on oem parts and fluids. Also saves time because they take only 1hr for something that other mechanics do for 2hr without screwing it up.

Exhaust done. Shocked that exhaust sound is super quiet. Can't hear the usual FX growl anymore.
This is usually what happens with the swap. But mine can be mistaken for Lexus now.





Winter setup put on early while FX is in the shop



And.. Free Unichip with the FX exhaust trade

I could do a lot better. It was a quick solution to a need for money in 2008 and I just never bothered to look for anything better. It's time to move on.

Hello again guys! I'm up here as a surprise for my niece's sweet 16 party. Not my kind of party so I'm standing outside enjoying the lovely chilled breeze. California was still hot on some days.
