It still isn't in.

I haven't talked to Pat in over a week. He keeps saying its on the way. I'm gonna stop talking about it now, b/c the more I think about it, the more it pisses me off.

Glad to hear your stuff is finally in! Yes!

I hope my stuff arrives soon to, hey, if you wouldn't mind, could you drop a bug in his ear to see where my bottle is?

Everytime I call him, its like I'm bugging him or something. Even though I only call like once a week. I don't think thats too much.

Civic, that really SUCKS about the EBAY deal . . . I never trusted those type of deals . . a friend of mine ended up with a HOT camera . . .

I thought PayPal was supposed to prevent that sort of shit . .

I spoke to Pat about your disatisfaction with how your are treated when you call for updates and he was very concerned. Maybe you are just hearing the frustration in his voice that you are also experiancing. Pat has kinda felt like his luck has been bad ever since the break-in. I think hes a sinceir guy and I know he works hard to try and satisfy his customers. Unfortunatly he can't control his vendors. I will encouage him to get some details on your bottel. He said that was all he needed to finish the job.

I didn't know Java was closed... it's still open to the best of my knowledge... when we went by there the other day it was still open.

oh yeah, so I went to the CompUSA grand opening today in frisco
I camped out since 9PM lat night andj ust go home now at 11AM.

the lady at the counter rang me up wrong... Here's what I got

18" LCD monitor (she forgot this)
Sony Digital 5.1 Receiver 500 watts
JBL 6 speaker set for home audio system (she forgot this)
DVD+R MEmorex Burner
DVD 16X reader
Blue computer fan
Linksys Wireless router 802.11 G (that's right it's the G not the B, this is the one I got free for waiting in line allnight)
Cable Modem

All for a grand total of 314.95 after tax - $100.00 Mail in Rebates = 214.95

All in all this was an awesome COMPUSA day!!!

Just to point this out, Java is not closed. That is an off and on rumor. The two/three owners split up and so one owns the Allen one and another owns the Plano one. But the Plano was is definitly not closed because one of my good friends works there.

And quick note, I'm not sure how many people know about it, but ATI is releasing a supercharger for the G35 Coupe. Grubbs Infiniti is hosting this huge event tomorrow and I have ONE extra spot. The only down side is that I need to know ASAP and you have to meet up with us in Richardson at 7:30am so we can leave there and drive to Euless and be there by 8:00am.

Me Got Headers!

I have been testing ever since. If you no what I mean ! I don't feel much more power, as I had hoped, but it seem to be more linear and last right up to the red line. I have some issues with my exhaust rubing in places but this can be fixed. This was a modified instalation. It took about three hours. It was worth it. $325 installed.

That is the mother of all dyno deals!!!

Good stock numbers, btw...especially in this heat. 192 HP/175 TQ were the stock numbers RUF had, as I recall.

I was trying not to panic anybody by using a whisper. And, no, no, no, I'm not parting with the TL-S. That would be CRAZY!!!

My girlfriend and I are figuring out who will drive it. She was looking for a newer car anyway. She will be looking to sell her '99 TL soon if you know anybody who is looking.

Delivery in a week if I am lucky...

And Bluesman, smoother, higher top end was the same thing I got from my headers. If it feels smoother and longer, either you had something enlarged OR you are getting more horses! Cheers...

I am pretty sure I will get white with silver wheels--to match the TL-S.

Of course, Subaru of Dallas (just opened a week ago) said they would let me try on both colors and keep the ones I liked best.

They also said if I didn't like the pink STi logo on the white, they had a graphics guy who could make it it black, red, silver, blue, or whatever color I wanted.
