Seriously OT: Whoring Galore here in Part 4!

@ frodoGT... called the guy that was holding my stuff... nice to find out that his garage got borked into... so my 'teg motor for my '85 is gone, along w/ the box of parts sitting next to it.. only good thing I got from that phone call is that he's *GIVING* me back my old civic.. he just doens't want it anymore, since he got his Gran Prix GTE (turbo) running again...

Anyway, the point of that was this: the only parts I have left are a small turbo from a 626, an intercooler from an older turbo diesel box truck, and a ford 427 in pieces... some other small asst parts... the only injectors I have left atm are the ones that are in the civic now... and i can't get rid of those.

BUT I get my license back this month, afaik, so I"ll try to find you some more, and you'll pry get them cheaper than $50 if I can find them. (b/c of the inconvenience)

Sry for that dude, guess I spoke too soon about what I had..

Thats cool man, Im just sourcing out parts right now, no buying till the end of the month.

Like I said, I might score more of them again, if I do, I'll set them aside in a shipping box just for you. Just need 4 right?

a good 1-2yrs ago we sold a 99 GSR 40,000 og miles with ITR front conversion, CF hood, mugen front bumper & sideskirts, tanabe exhaust, toda header....so on. the guy moved out of town but left the car here at his parents. i guess he decided to sell it and found a buyer local to him. he called us and asked if we could fix something before he picks it up.

we go to the back of his mom's house where the car is in the ally. don't freak out. it's a really spendy neighborhood. it's like the car is secretly tucked back there. we roll up, go into the backyard to get the key in the secret spot. peel back the car cover and remove the blanket on the CF hood. jer gets in and the battery is dead. the car is on a hill so he lets off the brake and bump starts it and we're gone. on the way home i realize we were there maybe 5 mins or less...it felt like we went on a mission to lift a secret car. LoL.

i saw that on Gone In 60 Seconds

it sure felt that way. it's sorta disturbing it was so much fun :uhoh:

Aww that would be sweet! as long as its legal. I want a gsr :( oh well, Ill be happy to spank a few of em. Speaking of which, I went with a friend to a miata meet around the corner from my house (drove the hatch!) and they ended up talking about my car and honda more than mazdas lol. But a guy told me hes got a b16A2 longblock with some extras sitting at his house that he pulled out of a girls car. Said something was wrong with it, like compression was low and they suspected a cracked piston, but he wants 500 for it. I figure If I wanted to turbo it id be doing rods and pistons anyway right? OR, I could just snag the head from him and shwing, lsvtec! Id rather do that than go sohc turbo..and id rather go b16/lsvtec turbo>all lol.

i like all of the above..

doesn't matter what you choose

sold some parts today $60 richer. damn now i gotta pay bills, there it goes.

truck is packed, just have to put the cooler and my clothes in...leaving for VIR when i get off work

Have fun at GT Live in VA. Remember to take lots of pics too.

I plan on having fun but I don’t think I can take as many pictures as I’d like. The 4gb memory stick that I ordered off eBay last week may not come. Got an email from eBay saying that the seller’s been suspended, don’t know why, but I hope that my stuff has been sent b/c it should have been here yesterday or maybe today. So that sux, all my money is spent so I can’t go to the store to buy one. The memory stick I have holds like 195 pics, so unless it comes today I won’t be doing any videos.

i ordered a 4gb mini sd for my phone off ebay. for the life of me i could only find 2 gb mini sd in the stores...around $30-35. the 4 was $45 shipped.

have a good trip, safe, fun trip!

woke up this moring and white stuff is falling from the sky....i must have missed the memo GTA was driving up :dunno: that is the only possible explanation for this occurance so early in the season. :screwy:

lady, be careful about ordering things off ebay... there are alot of fakes that look completely original, and they're cheaper, smaller versions of the hardware you're looking to get, and they've had the firmware reprogrammed to make them "think" they're really that large... first thing you should do is write some data to it, enough to fill it's supposed size, and check for data errors while trying to read back from it.

If everything checks out after that, good buy!

BTW, they've gotten very good... so much so that w/ the products that have a holographic seal on them, it's been perfectly reproduced as a fake.

LoL, I wasn't born yesterday.

Beyond what you said I was also looking for a distrubitor, not stolen.

Don't you worry your pretty little head, I already put music on and the space is good to go. I appreciate the concern tho :thumbsup:

i planned on testng the space, but that's if i get it...guy had a pretty good rating and from the feedback people left, only a few had problems when it came to using the memory sticks, but the were resolved...but the seller had an eBay stoy where all he sold was 4gb memory sticks... so i dunno, i hope it comes and it works

ummm..... i am coming up in my mind, so i guess that brang it lol.

My last ebay purchase went horribly. I believe I still owe mr jerry chen of lawrenceville ga an ass whoopin he's not likely to forget

I wonder if those plates are taken in the IL DMV. But I don't know which is more true of my car, no power or no torque

i got both

So does he...

TApA1fyoSdk

oh my god, that is frigging hilarious. I had no idea what was going to happen until I saw those sticks in his hands.

haha

Lady, I was just trying to be helpful :P

What dizzy are you looking for, I can look around a few friend's (or my) garage, and see what I can come up with..

I'll need the part number and what it originally went to/came from.. (diff friends do stuff by diff methods), but I assure you anything I get you will be legally purchased, and completely legit :D That's how I roll.

so i picked up two twelves and a amp yesterday. nothing to get excited about subs are pyle and the amp is lanzar. i only wanted 1 12" so now i'll probably try to find someone to buy the other one

it's all good in the neighborhood. when i first put the card in i uploaded maybe 2 albums to see if all was working. it said i had 2.6GB free. :wtf: i manually check the memory and find it synched 3 full files of pics & vid of my kid onto the card. i removed those and it went to i think 3.7GB free....that's more like it.

nevada plates. my bro-in-law lives in reno. he's laid both those cars out with his mighty 4g

Lanzar Vibe series are good amps. I had one last for over 6 years and was in 3 cars. It powered 2 Lanzar 10s in a bandpass box in my old Toyota Tercel (had 10 speakers in it), then powered my 2 Lanzar 12s in my Porsche 944 in custom made box so they faced the rear glass upwards (fucking amazing!), then I had it power the 2 Lanzar 10s again in the CRX. Finally, I got rid of the 10s and sold the amp to my friend. I may try to get it back from him if he didn't fuck it up...

Hey guys and gal, I was seeing you can provide me with some advice. The wife backed into a wall yesterday night :screwy: and scratched up her bumper, dented it a bit and cracked a tail light. I want to see if I can clean up the bumper the best I can. This is an 06 Jetta, plastic bumper. What would you recommend I do? Which grit sandpaper is best and what compound do you recommend? I never scuffed up any of my cars so I never actually fixed something this bad. Thanks for your help, this is a lease so I really don't want to pay for it. Thanks again.

ell, unless you know how to do body work, you wont fool the lease company, and youll probably be charged double for poor work, (because they have to strip off what you did to fix it). so my advice would be to A. get it profesionally fixed or B. leave it and pay the lease company when you return it. (PS, Im an I-Car certified body tech, i know about this, i dealt with insurane companies all he time, they suck)

Sucks ass. Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll quote it up with the VW dealer and see the estimate and if its more the her deducable I'll try to finagle insurance to pay for it.

dont go to a dealer.... they'll over charge, and may put it on the vehicles report.. bring to an independant shop and explain your situation, they'll be more likely to understand and help

^I agree. A cop backed into my car causing similar damage a few years ago and I had to get 3 estimates for the state's insurance to pay for it. The dealer estimate was the highest estimate by a good $200

you could always just see if you can find another tail light and bumper cover in a junkyard somewhere, leave it off the insurance and paperwork, and change them yourself... like it's hard or something...

Wow didn't know it goes on a report just for an estimate. No thanks. I'll take it to a few body shops then and see what they feed me.

I am not going to a junk yard and doing his myself I just don't have the time or the care to do so since it is not my car (lease).

Thanks again guys I really appreciate it.

that thing is totalled lol

let me translate....

i work way too hard to spend my free time working on her jetta. if it were my accord....well, i wouldn't have done that to my accord.

that should clear it up for those who don't speak brody :evillol:

go to an independant shop for sure. it's a light and a bumper cover...the most expensive part is paying the labor of the painter. LoL

Independent shop it is!!

rofl lady... good xlation, although I pretty much figured that out, I'm just about the same way :P

'cept I don't have to worry about my wife's car... she's never had a license.

women dont need a license to get from the kitchen to the bedroom lol

Is she 15?

Anyway, I just got back from a Gymkhana event held in Tampa. I took some pics, and it was pretty freaking cool. I forgot to get any of anything non miata though.

A Gymkhana is similar to an autocross except that in this event you must use reverse gear, and navigate smaller tighter obstacles. Course memorization is also important, because you will utilize some parts more than once.

Here is what the course looked like. http://www.wedrivefast.com/6Oct07_Gymkhana.pdf

A couple examples from today.

I rode along with my friend in his mazda 3, with springs and sways, we managed 7th because we kept murdering the cones with the balls on them, the object is to hit the ball off and leave the cone standing. We got beat by about 5 miatas though, so it was a gimme that we werent getting 1st, even though our raw time murdered them, they could freaking see the cones when they backed into them!!!! making it infinitely easier to not cream them.

You actually had to stage up in reverse, and the first obstacle was a 300 ft reverse slolam.

My genius idea for a ghetto lift when this one wouldnt get into reverse before tech.

I had a pipe dream idea for something like that in high school when I sped through the 'big reverse S' during drivers ed. I had no idea such a course existed.

thats sweet frodo

@ frodo, nah, she's 21.. just never had need for a license, nor would anyone in her family ever teach her how to drive anyway.... pry for the better that one tho, b/c they can't drive for shit anyway.. I'ma teach her when we get into the house, and we aren't in NY anymore.

That way, she can drive if she needs to.

@ foosh (Edited, originally posted to wrong person), nah, she don't need a license to get from kitchen to bedroom... but she needs a keycard to get into the apt as of next week :D my new hacked TiVo came in the mail yesterday, w/ 4 cams, and a card entry kit... sick of having to worry about ppl breakin into my apt b/c the door doesn't latch when you close it and it only has a dead bolt holding it shut...

is that multiple posts BLU? i'm sure if i squint hard enough while looking at the rules i can find where you're breaking them :evillol:

nah...that's one's different, it has "..." in it

I hate my mouse, I need a new one. When I click on things, it rarely registers as a click unless I press really hard. Then after it doesn't register as a click, the mouse actually saves up the click and will randomly go off. When I'm surfing the net I use the Open in New Window thing. So when I go to close 1 window, the saved up clicks release and close every window I have open. Also when I click on links, the saved up clicks release and open multiple windows of the same damn thing.

Thats your crappy computer...not your crappy mouse.

hooray for technology

yeah, it's your computer. it's called buffering, and it's usually due to less-than-desirable ram (either available or total) or too many things running at once, killing your CPU's clock time.

ah yes, i love having 2gb of DDR3 ram... although half is being used up by Vista.. damn Ram Hog..

ew... vista... wanna hear something funny? I still run a K7-750mhz w/ 640mb of PC133.

My server.. dual P3's (Tualatin cores, 1.4ghz each.) w/ 2.5GB of PC133 ECC ram.

I don't worry about how fast my stuff is... it's not like I use it for anything serious anyway, but, I have 4 so far, I"m only 46 Xboxen away from making my 50-node cluster :D

The K7 is actually wifey's PC.. it's XP-bound.
The Server and all 50 Xboxen will have linux on them, Dyne:Bolic distro, for it's auto-cluster feature.

hey, if it wasnt for the ram hog quality of Vista, it would be a great OS.... i love it otherwise! any the people that complain about compatiblity with older software just doesnt know how to get around it, which is quite easy, i have yet to find one piece of software i cant get to run on my machine
