Saturday looks like fun though. I'm a sucker for a JFR cruise/show.

Sunday, not sure when I'll come by if I do. Probably spending more time moving big stuff with dad (yeah )... have I mentioned how I hate moving ? Good thing is I don't have a lot of BIG stuff but a ton of little sh t that I need to go through... keep or toss.... so that is frustrating. Doing the whole spring cleaning for the first time in 6 years sucks, I guess I just don't need to keep things around as long as I do. Apparently I need to do this more often

The benefit is a better apt and finally, finally getting directv among other things but still...

Wow! The clan has spoken!

Clutch it is! I'll call Danny Monday and tell him to get the Centerforce DF for sure.
I just hope I have enough $$ left in my retainer to squeeze the shorties in (although I doubt it).

I WISH I had deep pockets!
Problem is, I'm dipping into someone else's pockets!

Tune.. I will be running the Brenspeed tune that came with my Vortech kit. Once the motor is broken in and ready for the dyno, I will decide at that point if I want Danny or Adam (@ ST Motorsports) to give it the final custom tweaking.

Hey, I don't have one of those AUX inputs in my center armrest.

Besides the charging issue, can't you just plug into that AUX port (from the headphone out) with a 1/8 stereo jack to get the iPod to work?

I think (hope) all the mechanical issues are behind me at this point, but now is more of a monetary issue.

I'm 99% sure the shop only replaced all the valves, not the springs. I was told that the springs were all checked to see if they were good before dropping in the new valves.

I am sure of the new valve set because I saw all the orginal valves still in my original LH head.

The Jed, Pam, Kai, and I did a little recon at this Irish restaurant/pub on the Redondo Beach Pier lastnight. They had some Reggae band playing and they were pretty good!

This place passed the recon test, so it's probably going to make the stop for tonight.

I heard they're going to have a techno DJ tonight........ just kidding!
Actually will be a mystery band, so we'll see.

Jed- I've been meaning to tell you your avatar is f'n sweet.
Thanks Leo here's the bigger version...I was screwing around with animation....hummm.

Yes you can. I bought a el-cheapo on from Radio Shack and it works perfectly. The problem is charging and the biggie for me, I have to look down to the iPod to control it. I think that's why most of us are looking to utilize something that allows control of the iPod from the Shaker.

I would want new springs too, but that is a personal preference. Still new valves ain't bad. Better than a kick in the wallet



oops am I too late ?

Lemme guess... Adam?

With only 2.5k miles on the RH and >5k on the LH, it's good as new. Had to draw the line in the sand somewhere, otherwise it would just make sense to get a set of new Livernois Stage 2 heads.


btw, thank you Brian for suggesting and hooking me up with the take-off head from Adam.

jeez people are dorks...


scenario: New Target opens real close to home. Looking over the diecast selection (like I don't have enough crap to pack already ) There is a goth/emo/trailer trash/tattooed couple at the other end of the aisle. It was then I realized that some people no matter how they try to put on the exterior are just nerds....


That is SOOoooo Ghetto, No way should megatron cost more than an optimus prime
and it was the CHICK that said it.
Followed by....
This is stoopid.. that (enter transformer character) is just a ripoff of (different transformer character). They don't even look the same before they transform

Swear to god.
