Ugh, damnit. I went out to my car today after work and found a gash, or a deep scratch on the tint film on my window. I just had the tint done like a couple weeks ago, and I remember looking over it after he did it and I didn't see anything then. So I either didn't take too close of a look, or it must have somehow gotten gashed or something. I called the guy at Le Car and he said he'd replace it. Now I gotta take time off work again.... ugh...

I'm gonna go ahead and say it's my fault, even though I dunno how it got there, or what I could have gashed it with... So I wouldn't mind if he wanted me to pay up to have it replaced.

Ha, this summer i might take some auto classes. One class they have is a weekend class, and for around 200$ you get 8 hours to work on your car/truck every saturday.

I might take some classes for CNC and the like. Just to improve my job situation. I've tried getting promoted at my current job quite a few times, but they douche out on me most every time.

^ what site was that? i have been searching for new tires for my mugens but anything decent cost a good lick. I might just end up getting the general ex uhp since they seem to be a good tire vs cost.


Ohhh before i forget...... when you installed your alarm did you find a way to use the aux chan. to roll your windows up/down without resorting to using modules? My old lady got me a clifford alarm for my b-day and i was researching and couldnt find anything about that.

i went to http://www.vulcantire.com/fk452_t.htm to get the price of my 452s which was the cheapest i could find with warranty and shipping included

pulled up the Discounttiredirect website. and there falken 452s. on the right they have a link to put in some info on where you found the tires cheaper at. they give you a call 24 hours later with a price to beat it. then you can go to americas best tire (i think) and get them installed free


for the alarm my bro inlaw had to help me set it up but i believe its off the aux ( i have a autopage alarm) and if i hold the lock button after i press lock once it will roll up all the windows.. and vise versa for unlock.. not sure what wire he tapped for it. but i remember its in the door and was a pain in the ass to do.. i can try and ask him if he remembers if you want

why is there a bracket on the pipe near the connecting flange? i think you metioned the cat is connected at the top of the header right? kinda odd unless they have problems with there welds in that location

also why is there a bung plug on the header downpipe with no sensor? do they make downpipes now for the 09s?

That's the 3" DP on my Turbo Si. I was just showing the 3" dp to 2" stock exhaust transition for a laugh. I'm not running the So2 anymore, that's why the bung is empty.
