Yeah I am unsure if I even want to attempt the tune before doing the 5 speed swap and exedy twin install. I may just post pone the tune for a few weeks until the trans returns from Shep. Lots to do and no time to do it...

Thanks Detroit. I apprciate the compliment and the link. I have decided to not relocate. The realtor was playing too many games and after a month I said FOK IT. After two weeks of waiting for a reply to my email about basement size, refrigerator, etc the realtor called me and asked for a deposit and offer. I asked if she had the info I requested and she said no but would work on it. I said then I will work on the deposit and offer LOL... I followed it up with a brisk email. Just not worth it. I have a beautiful home and just dont care enough about it to fight for it. Now to Mikes for some dyno time

To blow off some built up steam I bought the wife a little somethin somethin for Christmas. Poor sales lady got an azz raping 2% financing, $500 over invoice, and an extra $1K rebate for brand swapping So basically $5K off and free money at 2%... It drives quite nice actually. The wife is happy so thats all that matters... Not the best pics but an idea.

Now that all the BS is out of the way I can concentrate on important stuff like evo's Gonna do the 5 speed swap and clutch. Then tune. Trying to figure out what I want to do trans wise.

Nice! Keep us updated on what gearing setup and clutch you go with. At first I thought I was going to do an Ultimate ratio trans but I've been thinking more and more about a IX first gear and VIII 2nd-5th...Well see...

Pilot/ Stripper-The wife not me LOL...

Aviation isnt the best career right now but stripping seems to be... If I only had a vagina we would really be banking

In all seriousness, if you ever want to talk about aviation let me know. We are close enough we can BS about it anytime. I am Commercial rotorcraft and ATP fixed wing rated. I stopped counting at 4000 hours. It really isnt a secure job right now and the pay is horrible. I had alot of fun back in the day. I have been a Captain on an Embraer 120 and Learjet 45. Most of my time is 25,000# plus International flights at night on the Emb. It is something I am very proud of with zero incidents and zero accidents. I was flying as a Captain for Delta Connection at 28 I had 40 yo co pilots. That never went over very well My funnest jobs were the learjet and emb for Fed Ex. The lear I flew I picked up brand new in Arizona. My boss was a baller and all I did was fly him to casinos and resorts. Always got front row seats to fights, shows, etc. He was a straight azz though. My all time favorite was flying another Emb 120 for fed ex to the Islands. I was in Cancun just about every day and picked up regular flights to PR, Trinidad, Aruba, Curacao, Mexico, Jamaica, etc. No passengers to beatch That was a great time. But its been really down hill since 9/11. I only fly for fun now and to help people out delivering or test flights. I can make more money valeting cars or DJing at the club which is what Im working on now. Its really sad but aviation just isnt the glamourous job it use to be..... I gave it up because of family. Making more money and being home every night is more of a priority then dressing nice and having a prestigous job that doesnt pay. When I was single my azz was in a pilot seat 8 hours a day. I couldnt stand to be away from my son right now and miss him growing up. I miss flying more than anything but it just isnt the smartest thing right now. I plan on making a return when the opportunity is right.

Here is my all time favorite airplane.... N218AS



Me doing a low pass at Miami Int'l and my boss taking a pic-OOOPS!


The boss hard at work on auto pilot


A bad day at 20K plus


A good day at 20K plus






It makes me sad just thinking about it
