Seriously OT: The Real 3rd Thready...

:swear: That bitch storm Rita.... went totally around us... and I had RainX'd up all my windows and was ready to be driving around in driving rain... and what do we get here? a bunch of wind....... fuckin' dirt and dust blowing into my eyes... :cya: that's it. ah well....
Maybe I'm weird, but I like driving in the rain :screwy:

Well it finally happened. Just got a call from my friend with a turbo'd H22a Civic. He went to the gas station down the street, ripped on it from a cold start (not something he usually does). Apparently everything was fine on the way there, but on the way back is another story. His oil pressure light came on, and his A/F (through a UGO) leaned out on him. He's going to pull it and rip it apart tomorrow and check the damage. He thinks it's a spun bearing (connecting rod bearing?). Hopefully there isn't any damage to anything major (like the crank). So I'm off on an all night search for some good (yet cheap) connecting rods for him, he never changed them anyways :uhoh: so now he has a "good" reason to.

if he's going to do that, he may as well do a build on the whole damn engine while he's got it all apart.

Yeah but if there's no damage to the rest of it, then he'll be fine. He already has Darton sleeves, SRP pistons in it, and knife-edged crankshaft. He just didn't want to spend the $ for the rods at the time it was rebuilt (dumb). And a complete re-rebuild is out of the question, unless he has to.

I'm going to fucking kill somebody. fucking fucking fuck

"I fell into a burning ring of fire"

Tonight I realized I once again have an addiction. Until recently I had been "clean" since thanksgiving day 2002. It started somewhat differnt this time, skipping the smaller stuff and moving ahead full force till it all came crashing down. Within months its accelerated to the point that it is severaly disrupting my life in all aspects. Despite everything I said, I couldnt even make it two years. I just dont know what to do. I'm sitting here, I'v been here for hours. I said this would never happen again... I would never do this again... I would never get other people involved.

Addiction to what? drugs? alcohol? Internet Forums?

I had a drug addiction once to extasy... got to the point that I started dealing it, just to afford my habbit.... but then I managed to kick that habbit with the help of a good woman (now my fiance').
Now I fight the internet forum addiction with lots and lots of school work most of the time... too bad I'm between classes this week. (tha's why I been on here a lot this week).

I know all about addiction. I did the same thing. I was addicted back in '93-'94, quit everything completely (didn't even drink). Then at the end of '01 I started using again and have ever since. But last time I was sick I was on some weird medication so I stopped all the other stuff, and now I only do stuff every once and a while. But I still have cravings every few days. Then there's the cigarettes... been smoking for almost 4 years now and at least a pack a day. Addictions suck, but everyone has them whether they realize it or not. For some it's perscription drugs, illegal drugs, alcohol, caffeine, food, nicotein, shopping (crazy women :D), porn, speed, etc. It's all in your mind, you can do anything you want. Easier said than done though.

I've come to realize I'm addicted to old Celicas.... especially 4th generation GT4's and the first generation coupes :boink:
And my woman :bigthumb:

I'm trying to get a job at sears... look at me all conforming with society.. I dont know if I can work in the public..

i worked at sears when i was in high school. not a very challenging job.

working at Magic Mountain was a much more exciting job. more enjoyable than expected :dunno:

I can see Amy punking some little kid out "You gotta be this tall to ride bitch!"

not hardly :grinno:

i was assigned to ninja. whenever somebody called in i was able to go work on Batman, which had just opened. the ride has to be safty tested. when the train is empty it rolls quicker. when the tracks are hot it runs faster. when it's hot + empty = you black out for a split second around the last corner :ylsuper:

Oh my god, the funniest thing crossed my mind when I read that... But if I posted it would have to suffer the wrath.

As an update...
I talked with the program director about those guys who were cheating...
He is going to make everyone take the final exam again without the aid of anyones books (sept those of us that didn't cheat... we don't have to take the test again :icon16: )... so if anyone can pass it the second time around, they're in the clear.... if they can't, they loose the credit for the class and have to take it over again next fall.....

Also, I'm in the clear, because what was the first thing those idiots all did when they came to class today? They bragged to everyone who walked past them about what they did last week.... so any one of a dozen people could have said something... so my ass is in the clear. :loser:

who's to say who cheated and who didnt?

long story....

shit, I feel asleep on the keyboard again.

Kick ass man, screw those cheaters. The whole point of school is to pay attention. Personally when I go back to school, I won't care about grades just learning stuff.

Don't you hate it when you're smoking a pipe, and pack it too hard. Next thing you know a little chunk of stuff flies out and into your lungs. Then your chest/lung hurts for the rest of the night. It happend last night to me. I just remembered it because I'm smoking the same packing as last night and it's hard as hell to get a good drag.

Dont you hate it when you take up next to a beautiful woman that you love...

it's hard as hell to get a good drag.

Stabbing a hole through it works.

I used to have addictions... now I'm just a boring person...

use a screen if that happens to you often. I usually put a bigger chunk at the bottom of the pipe and then put the smaller pieces on top so nothing can just fly through like that. what really sucks is when the pipe gets beat and your taking the last hit, it supermans and an amber flys down your throat. ouch....

I know what you mean about the superman, done that a lot. When I was younger I always used a metal pipe with a screen, so the first time I used the glass was an unpleasant experience. I wouldn't even touch my friends pipe for about a month, fearing that I'd get another amber shooting down my throat. But the pipe I use is a glass (maybe pyrex) "spoon" pipe, so I'd rather not use a screen. But I think I put too big of a chunk at the bottom, and it clogged up (stuff's not very dry). So after a while a piece finally burned through and broke off. I need to get a new slider and piece for my "water pipe", damn I miss that thing. It has a ceramic base to it, so you can screw the bong onto it and it won't tip over. I call it Mr. Burns.

get a vaporizor

Time to step up to stuff that doesnt have to be smoked. Chemical form is the best form.

I'd love a vaporizor, they're too expensive and when I smoke at home it's usually just 1 or 2 hits every half hour to an hour.

Naw man screw chemicals, I had enough of that already. Just alcohol, nicotein, and pot (maybe opium if I could even get it). I'm the lazy kind of drug user, I just want to chill and relax. Don't want any crazy visuals, have my heart pound like crazy, or start dancing with glow sticks.

god damnit, why the fuck is it when shit starts to fucking work right and you think you might fufcking b e on top for once evertyhing fucking else goes fucking wroinglk. i dont give a fuck anymore I'll fucking go back to fucking jail again for anotyher assault some mother fucking is getting there duifking ass beat over thsi fucking shit

I went to California for my glass... best ever. Opium is bad... especially the shit that smells like gasoline... stay away from it. Nicotine is overrated... quitting smoking was the smartest decision I've ever made. Alcohol is not very fulfilling either. I can't even drink much being diabetic, but I don't miss it...

i'm drug free :thumbsup:

I'm cooking some grilled stuffed chicken if anybody is hungry.



You cant have any, but you can sit in the yard and smell it.

I've owned about 5 or 6 different pipes in the past 4 years, but I pretty much stick with the cheap $20 ones now. Had a sick ass thick glow-in-the-dark one, but I left it on my lap and when I got up it broke on the concrete. And another one that was wrapped in filo clay, but I left it in my pocket and sat on it when I tried to get an entertainment center out of a truck. They just don't last long unless you keep it in a room with thick carpeting, and only keep it in there. You sure that was Opium and not cheap hash? My friend made hash before, and used paint thinner :eek7: I tried it once and never touched it again. I read a lot online about how to make it, and that was one of the most popular ways. People are messed up sometimes. Everyone tells me if I quit smoking, within 2 weeks I'll notice a huge difference with being able to actually breath. But my will power is shot. Alcohol really isn't that great, I only drink maybe once every 2 or 3 months at the most (probably why I get messed up on 2 beers :D).

Blu - The way to be man. Clear head and more $ in your pocket.

Is it stuffed with Soilent Green (aka the bodies of the noobs in your basement)? Or maybe that's why I woke up in a bath tub full of ice and my kidney was missing this morning.

No, it was Opium. It was many years ago but I remember there was this yellowish gold stuff and the blackish stuff. I don't remember which was better. All I know it was hard/crystal like and you break it off, etc.

I've got a couple glasses but I like the one from California the best...

where I'm going to be working :)

The Westin Diplomat just south of Ft. Lauderdale, this place is friggen huge.

Should I buy either a 4th generation Celica alltrac turbo as a fixer upper project car.... or a 1971-1977 Celica?

Here are some examples....

Clearly the alltrac turbo. If you want something that looks like a muscle car, buy a muscle car (not an import).

I don't want something that looks like a muscle car.... I just like older Toyota's :P
Can't stand the stereo typical 'muscle car'... probably has something to do with disliking big american V8's....

I wish I was honda free. Fucking car keeps almost getting me fucking killed.

Same here. I even get cut-off on the freeway by Hondas. Apparently 80mph is not fast enough in the far left lane. I should have just ran him into the guard rail... came real close to doing it but he had his daughter in the car next to him. Hondas are family cars for dickheads...

Oh yeah, yesterday I redlined (or tried to) 2nd and it went up to 8000 rpms. I never realized my ECU was chipped. The car was significantly warmed up (drove 40+ miles) and gauge seemed to be working...

71-77 without a doubt.

My ecu isnt chipped either (as far as I know) and it will peg it down past 8k if you shift into 2nd at about 85ish.

I like the 71-77 too but harder to find parts...

All-trac celicas are hard to find also. Ben's Rally Car list usually has them in nice race trim for a pretty penny.

TSC, that doesn't sound right...

What would be a good car to get after owning a crx?

What doesnt sound right? I'm planning on my next car to be a vw... I allready have too many cars though.

The first gear at 85mph maybe kph... or the burying the tach without hitting a rev limiter...

My wife's VW just got the CEL on yesterday. If it's the Mass Airflow Sensor again, I'm going to be pissed...

I need more money...

No, I was talking about being in third, and hitting second insted of 4th. It will bury the hand down all the way but a rev limiter has never kicked in (only happend twice and it was only for a second or so).

Parts availability is not a concern :P I can get just about anything through Toyota (and at an employee discount ;) )

As for the alltrac... they are very hard to find, yes.... every time I find one and call about it, it's usually already been sold... I found one rather close to me though for 1,500 and it's not running, but the body and interior are straight and rust free... I might go look at it this weekend if it's still there.

I still haven't found a 1st gen, but I could probably pick one up on eBay and have it shipped here. If I got a 1st gen, I'd be tearing it down completely and rebuilding it from the ground up as a show/race car only, so the condition wouldn't be as big a factor.


What would be a good car to get after owning a crx?

Nothing.... I'd give my left nut to be able to find another un-molested CRX......... there was NO car I enjoyed more than my CRX.... I just never have been able to find another one in as good of condition as I would like. Maybe one of these years....

Who here has read "Darwin's Blade" by Dan Simmons? The main character drives an Acura NSX. I'm only on Chapter 3 but it seems very auto oriented.

Anyone seen Danny Deckchair?

I think everyone died....


..new sig.

I've just been busy...and high (on life of course ;) )

CRX is now completely primer grey... no more green. I just have to fabricate a small piece of sheet metal to the driver side rear 1/4 panel/fender and bondo, sand and primer. It may be meticulous though because I'll have to test fit the rocker/side skirt which may not mount up on the bottom side since I had to cut most of it away due to rust. I have to go to the dealership to get the non-reusable screw things for it as well. It should look close to stock when finished. Also, I resanded and primered the roof and from a distance you can't even tell that a sunroof ever was present. Pics will be posted when it's done.

great, more half ass hondas.. just what the world needs.

don't you love it when you hit 2nd gear vtec as you're flying past a cop waiting to turn :grinno:

great, more half ass hondas.. just what the world needs.

Hey, I'm pretty proud of the work I've done so far. I'd say not to fucking bad for a white collar person. Oh btw, if I keep my crx, it's getting painted (not by me) gunmetal grey and new suspension parts and rims.

pfff, posts being deleted for calling people out who dont now there shit and cant read.
