It was a blast wasnt it? I remember the first time i drove mine.. I was SHOCKED! I was always cruzing in a 95 eclipse RS,.. when the dealer told me to punch it from a stop light.. DAM that car was a rocket... And it was still stock! Too bad i lost it in the unfortunate accident... Yeah a ford Jacked up monster truck ran over me. But anyway. Today is great so far, i havent had to do ****! Well i took the Radio Wiring harness out and sent it down to electronics since i punched my CD player and broke it it was skipping anyway.. So now i hope they can fix it.

Ill report back at the end of the day!

WOW I think it's safe to assume you had a bad day and quite an expensive one!

My day sucked. My dad screwed up another job, probably costing me thousands, the bitch who ripped me off won't sign the titles to the vehicles I now have possession of, so I can't sell them, I'm getting sick, after fighting with no fewer than 3 customers today my head hurts and I feel the need to pound someone to death, I had to drive 2 hours to fix a unit that one of my guys screwed up, a simple 2 minute fix that killed 2 hours because he doesn't pay attention, and lets see, what else.....Oh, its my birthday, I had to work late and I still have calls to make. I might go to a bar and see if anyone wants to step outside, I don't think I can calm down until I inflict serious bodily harm to someone who deserves it. Other than that it rocked!

So far so good, my 2nd day of work at my new job and im scheduled for 40hrs this week and 40hrs next and the next. I should clear around 400 this month. And 600/mo for the next 6 months. So not bad! I plan on spending no more then 7k on a GN. Hopefully the guy on auto trader will still have his.. as he is only wanting $6,850.00 The car looks great! which is basicaly all i need! Basicaly im using McDonals Until i get out of my GED Class and get a job at mabey Auto tire and parts or something. It would probaly be around 6.25-6.50/hr. Not bad, considering i make around 5.50 here.

Once the summer hits. Theres a place called thorngates that pays 9.75 an hour just to put stickers on shirts/jeans ect. one of my friends work there. She clears around 1500-1600 a month working from 6am-3pm not bad if you ask me.. I'll work there from may 18th- June 31st And quit so i can take my vacation. Hopefully if i play my cars right. I'll have about 10,500-12,000 by my birthday. That way i can mabey dump around 4500 worth of mods in my car . Im trying to find a combo that i can do that on. This is what i have so far.

3" Cat back exhaust Exhaust - 400
3" Downpipe - 150
3" High flow cat - 150
3" Cold air intake - 150
307 fuel pump and hotwire kit - 175
50lb injectors - 350?
fuel pressure regulator and guage - 125
MSD plugs, wires, coil pac and w/e else. probaly around 200
Port and polished Heads, 1.65 forged roller rockers, 125lb valve springs, 218/218 (does this seem kinda radical for a cam set up?) Retainers.. Valves and the whatnot. - 1200-1500?
Boost gauge and oil press and all the other gauges (7 in all, i think) and the quad pod consol mount, and the 3 pod A pillar gauge. Probaly for all this... around 500.. +/-
- Scantool 250-300
- Sum sticky DRs, Possably send my Rear rims off to gbodyparts.com and have them turn them into 15x10s so i can stick some 325/50/ZR15 Drag Radials on the back!
- And finialy.. the Heart of the Beast, a bigger turbo. however i Still CANT decide. Between a TA49, TE60, TE63E, PT53, Oh hell why dont i go Hartline style! GImmeh a PT88 and sum 160lb injectors and 30psi of boost! LOL no im jk, What do you guys think?

- TA49
- TE60
- TE63E
- PT53

I plan on going Low 11s High 10s. Running around 20psi in normal driving conditions. What do you guys think? Think i can hit around 575-600rwhp on stock internals at around 21-26psi of boost? For 4500 bucks??

Give me some feed back guys!

Day Three, So far so good, Auto tech class was awesome, we were talking about anything from drinking and lighting up a joint, to sex and cars. Fun stuff. Now im on lunch break lets hope everything works out fine, oh yeah i need to get some gas. Oh well ill get it later. First day was hell, yesterday was good and this one is so far so good. but I have this kid named Andy Rhodes in my class which is a compleate fu.cking retard. and all the fothermucker is always throwing shiit at me. When i return the throw i get caught! ITs bs! oh btw I convinced an LS1 owner to save some $$$ and buy a GN. Only thing is,.. he wants to put on 20s for show. I convinced him however NOT to put hydros on it. So mabey a lil more talk and i can get him to grab some other wheels. mabey the draglites or something. Idk, but so far its goin good he wants a gn now, hopefully ill refer him to this info board. And maybe you guys can help him out.
