Damnit, Laverty Damnit, Laverty Post Master Supreme Registered: 04/27/00 Posts: 12564 Loc: Bellevue, WA	grumble So i went to hook the coolant circuit up on the turbo. Had to reclock the center housing... then i fired some fittings i'd used last time on it... now i'm lacking the fittings i need to do it proper, and can't clock the center to clear the manifold with the drain hooked up. LOLwhoops. Waiting on new fittings, and i'll cut another proper length drainline outta that expensive fuckin' silicone drainline... grumble. _________________________ -Matt '95 M3 \| '99 Garage Shelf "Life before [CSi] wasn't looking good, I had a small cock, smaller wallet, and had a girl that was getting railed by 5 HUGE black guys." -AZSnake "Ha... yeah if neon ownership teaches you one thing it's how to turn lemons into Country Time." -Spotch "If the market demand for snarky comments is below my current supply of sassy wit I can only assume the market will adjust itself accordingly.

Endo came by, and we desnorkused his new forester, and put some neon time in.. Remote oil filter is placed, he pulled the coolant bottle, plotted where the battery will live..... Got the air cutter all up in his thousand mile forester, it was a productive afternoon!

Damnit, Laverty Damnit, Laverty Post Master Supreme Registered: 04/27/00 Posts: 12564 Loc: Bellevue, WA	Closing in on a month to go; today marks the first day in... 4 years maybe my car hasn't been on at least two jackstands. Not ready to go, but had to move it so my roommate could work on his car. Still need to machine the control arm bearing sleeves, and then I can mount the control arms again for real this time. Right now they're installed, but it's only so I could bolt wheels to the car. This was last week's project, still need to get crush washers for it; removing the old gooseneck oil filter and making it mate to a remote setup. Fits like this on the car. and scary realization of the evening... the neon plates expired in 2005! Jesus I need to get this done. _________________________ -Matt '95 M3 \| '99 Garage Shelf "Life before [CSi] wasn't looking good, I had a small cock, smaller wallet, and had a girl that was getting railed by 5 HUGE black guys." -AZSnake "Ha... yeah if neon ownership teaches you one thing it's how to turn lemons into Country Time." -Spotch "If the market demand for snarky comments is below my current supply of sassy wit I can only assume the market will adjust itself accordingly.

Damnit, Laverty Damnit, Laverty Post Master Supreme Registered: 04/27/00 Posts: 12564 Loc: Bellevue, WA	Yes and no. Honestly, I'd be just as ok with starting a family, getting on with life and remembering the car in 10 more years. I could sit on this and just be happy to know I had a project whenever I want to tinker. It's been paid off since 99,all its costing is the space it takes. _________________________ -Matt '95 M3 \| '99 Garage Shelf "Life before [CSi] wasn't looking good, I had a small cock, smaller wallet, and had a girl that was getting railed by 5 HUGE black guys." -AZSnake "Ha... yeah if neon ownership teaches you one thing it's how to turn lemons into Country Time." -Spotch "If the market demand for snarky comments is below my current supply of sassy wit I can only assume the market will adjust itself accordingly.

Damnit, Laverty Damnit, Laverty Post Master Supreme Registered: 04/27/00 Posts: 12564 Loc: Bellevue, WA	Amazingly few of those, actually! It's outside pressure making me finish it. $\:\)$ Speaking of which, progress today. Made my new battery mount. Holding a PC680 where the washer bottle used to be. Remarkably annoying to get sorted there; there were about 4 layers of steel to drill through, then I decided to change the mounting direction (which is why the upper tab looks like dookie... it was supposed to be the front). _________________________ -Matt '95 M3 \| '99 Garage Shelf "Life before [CSi] wasn't looking good, I had a small cock, smaller wallet, and had a girl that was getting railed by 5 HUGE black guys." -AZSnake "Ha... yeah if neon ownership teaches you one thing it's how to turn lemons into Country Time." -Spotch "If the market demand for snarky comments is below my current supply of sassy wit I can only assume the market will adjust itself accordingly.

ScottStaypuff ScottStaypuff Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/05/00 Posts: 26591 Loc: Ohio	I know! I've been trying for Programmer/Developer jobs and that would be great but I kind of had an epiphany, the Business Analysts at my job make double what I make and don't do shit, its kind of a running joke. So I wouldn't mind to get in somewhere as a Business Analyst, give them my all for 40+ hours but if I did that I wouldn't have to learn 12 different new languages so I would have more time for cars too. Seems like a bag of win to me. Possibly more money and definitely more time for cars if I get such a position. Have a applied to a couple now with one phone interview and one in person. _________________________
