gonna be a loooooong day

[Steeles]

Ok it's been like an hour and a half that I've been awake and I dont feel like I'm fully awake yet. I miss my car already. :( I parked her for a few days as I await the turbo rebuild. I had a core but I dont like driving her injured.. the temp neeedle does funny things and she sounds like a ragged out ricer honda on its last leg. (imagine a 3" hole in the side of the block with some playing cards taped over it as you drive) so this afternoon I go pick up my little brothers old hatch. (my old KA in it but both the motor and the chassis have been beaten to death by my brother. he dosent take care of cars like i do) but that means I rode to work today. anyway I'm done ranting, carry on

[nrcooled]

I know the pain! When my baby was down for the FMIC install I had to drive the Civic around and da_mn I missed her. It just doesn't feel right not to have my car available to me at all times.

I go through all the steps of an alcoholic
1. denial
2. withdraw
3. depression
4. sweats
etc.

It gets bad!:eek: :(

hang in there

You mean to tell me that your brother's hatch is THAT bad off, even with your old KA in it? I don't think you should give it back, it should go into the shop when the turbo is back on your car and given some TLC, we can even put my Niches on it when I go 5-lug...

[Steeles]

you'll see... and this is after the exterior repairs.. plus i think he's killed the KA. dunno for sure but not much left in her. and to think how I took care of that engine. half the electrical is fried. cant even get the radio wired up. I offered um 500 bux for it unfixed. they said no.

[zspturbo]

know whats even worse? when you get to drive an SR S13 for an hour in a totally empty parking lot as hard as you want to (just dont go over redline) and then you cant touch another 240 at all for months. I hate my maxima soooooo much.

uh huh drifting purposes..... riiiight your going to see an elvis preacher arent you! lol damn we need more track events around here like you guys!

nope no SAFC yet. I need one though. but Im trying to save till for the pFC. so if I get one I will have to find a used one cheap I can resell later. or borrow one from someone. need injectors too. although Scc's project got to darn near 300 with stock injectors on 91 octane with a cat and stock mafs so maybe some tuning with an SAFC alone might not be too bad.

and your car is faster sideway than mine :D but thats alot more driver error than anything ;)

yep the North one. just hop on 85N its like 5 hours from Atl yo!

its gonna be a long week without my car. Brents car is in even worse shape. alignments fuxored (getting done today) Im sure there is some seriously hurt suspension pieces somewhere in there, we'll see. the interior is FILTHY! i feel like I need a shower as soon as I step out of it, no radio, smells like smoke, somethings amiss with the clutch.. I think it just needs bleeding.. ugggh. poor car. on another note the shop it was at has a pig nosed coupe that looks to be in EXCELLENT shape... they put a new SOHC in it like 8 years ago and the owner has refused to come pick it up! :D I may have to see about getting it. it is under 8 years of dust though :( and its an auto.. but I dont think the motors even been broken in :) could make for a nice day to day car

BRANDON, TELL HER TO BRING FRIENDS, 3 OF THEM!!!
... Back to your issue: ROLMAO @ you (for now, nothing will be funny when I'm back to not being able to keep up around town) but why are you spending money on a car they won't sell you? How much do the people want for that coupe?

oh did I mention you guys will have to room by yourselves at convention (send Russ Money) cause Turtles rooming with me?

well I talked to the guys rebuilding it... they may not be able to do much with that one. I may have to pull the one on the car off and see about sending that one instead. although Im half tempted to check prices on something new.... that HKS GT-SS looks sooo nice...

dunno about the coupe yet. he's about ready to get rid of it. I'll ask when I take brents back up there

lol she might, we're not too sure yet...

[Steeles]

cool, if she does she rooming with us?

[turtlepower240]

i think what we'll do is get out own room so our parents don't think we are just roomin with these random dudes, so she and another friend, (meredith) will probably stay in there so it won't be so crowded... nothing's really definate... details are not a big priority to me at this point. i figure we'll be havin fun most of the nights anyways just hangin out so sleeping arangements are not too important.. anyways, but i got the money in the mail today for russ :) what do i owe you?? it's like $59 a night?? we'll talk money business later...
