Congrats to your gf Eduardo! Now, if I could only be so lucky. I had an interview yesterday, but it's a 30 mile commute each way..........not sure it would be worth it.

OK crew I'm convinced. Car stays as is except for springs which I'm about to do, and the **** Shelby parts (brake duct kit, PIAA lights in lower grille) if they ever get made. I guess I'm on a waiting list somewhere. Saleen Stage 2 rom Brenspeed. I'll call them on Monday. I think that'll go great with the Kooks headers. I got 2 compliments on my car yesterday and 3 more this morning making a donut run. Mmmmm...donuts!!!!
I can always add the Boost-a-pump, or GT500 fuel pump, and HTO sparks plugs, aluminum driveshaft...etc. Then I think I'll replace my head unit and put this JVC unit in my DD truck and get something with a little better ipod interface and bluetooth interface.
Tom, if your out there I've got one question on motor mounts. IIRC you cut your prothanes down. How much did you cut off? I only want to do it once you know.

Don't give up Jill, you'll get one eventually that will be worth it.
And my gf says to you that keep going forward without looking back. If it's your destiny and God's will for you to work there, you'll know, if not, go somewhere else and try again. She'll earn a lo less $ now, but at least it's better than nothing. We both wish good Luck to you!

Thanks Tom. I think I'll go with the JDM and sell these on TMS. They've got about 2000 miles on them. That way no down time while I'd be cutting these down or having them cut at a machine shop.
So um Tom, any dicsount codes for Brenspeed? Can you hook a brother up?
Just kidding. I know you get no special treatment.

Yesterday I took my gf to an interview. She was so nervous that she couldn't sleep well watching the clock all night. There were at least three other applicants before her. She waited like an hour till it was her turn. Her interview lasted about 40 min! And, guess what, She got the job!!

The springs are still not it. Everything was going really smoothly until it came time to remove the strut. No matter how I tried, I couldn't get the DANG nut loose. So my dad and I went to the store and bought some air tools. An early birthday present!! 
When I got home, I had to leave for church soon, and it was about to rain, so I put it all back together, and backed it in the garage in hopes that I'll be able to work on it in there. I'll try to get it all apart tonight, and I think try and put the springs in tomorrow and back together again. Then on monday, I need to take it in and get my brake lines fixed. (YIKES, that'll be interesting) I also am going to have a few other things fixed, and hopefully I can get it back soon so I can go for a test drive!

Thanks to you both. I'm definitely not giving up. I'm just frustrated cuz I've never been in this position before. This is the first time I've ever been laid off. I've always left any job voluntarily. I'm just feeling a little down cuz I was supposed to be leaving for St. Thomas for a week vacation tomorrow. But no job = no vacation...too scared to spend the money if I don't know how long I'll be out of work.
And everytime I called to the main offices they always took my message and promised to call back. I was calling everyday for a week, and went there two times to check my progress, same thing. Then one day I checked the mail and found a green card that I had a letter on the Post Office. Since I was waiting for a letter for the title transfer for a car I had at he time, I went to pick it up. But to my surprise it was from my employers. I was fired by mail! I couldn't believe it. 
They didn't have the ***** to tell me directly. So, I can understand you pretty well.It's sad to cancel your vacation plans, but you've got to be prepared for anything. Painful but wise decision to hold your plans for the moment.

My springs are done. Wow it definitely dropped more with those FRPP springs. I was letting the jack down wondering if the car was ever going to stop droppping. I couldn't get the jack out from under the car, had to raise it up and put wood blocks under the tires to get jack out. Anyway it drives great. I can feel the drop and the springs ride less bouncy if that's even possible. But not too rough. I never scraped the front chin on the 20 minute drive I took, but pulling back into the garage a piece of the exhaust pipe hit a high point on the concrete going into my garage. I backed up and sure enough it did it again. Maybe a clamp turned down, or worse?
Decided not to use caliper paint. I took a long look at the car. It's strictly black and satin aluminum. I don't want to introduce another color. And I think it might actually be better than even black right now. Pictures tomorrow.
