If anyone is into metal.. they should get Trivium's latest album Shogun. It rocks!

They sound like metallica... if they were still good.

I did one on my sentra. I used this stuff. It is a bit more expensive but makes the best bead. I used the black high temp stuff.

Thanks man...and I'm sure I'll eventually make it to one. Especially now that the new job will only be til 4:30, compared to the 5:30 if I'm lucky here..lol

No prob at all, and thanks for the support..lol

But ya, I am getting the hell out of the dealership world. I will be working for Cranston Collision Center in, well, Cranston RI. They are a very reoutable body shop, one of the few that I would ever actually recomend to anyone. I have actually known these guys since back in 2000 when I started working for Mitsu. And these guys were the type that no matter what dealership I was at, the ALWAYS did business with me.

After the last little blow out with the owner, (told me I should have been fired like six times because a customer/freind took HER car their to be fixed, and not one of our half *** referal shops.) I told them what happened when they actually called to thank me for sending another car their way, and after hanging up, 5 minutes later they called and offered me a job running their parts department. So after a few interviews, it is pretty much almost a done deal..so if everything goes accordingly, Wednesday should be my last day here.

Can you say win win regardless

Even if not, and somethign falls thru with this place for some stupid reason, well, after the owner caught wind that I was quitting, he asked me Friday what it would take to stay..told him at least another $150 a week for starters, which I'm supposed to call him on that today. So even if CCC falls thru, least I'll find get the raise I deserve here

Congrats on possibly the new position/raise. Hope everything works out for you, especially with all the hardwork and **** you've gone through to turn that place around.

PS: my fan controller has been going on a year strong!

Especially when you work for an owner that is doing nothing but hold the place back. As it is, Mitsu themselves told this guy to $hit or get off the pot...I don't forsee Mitsu letting this guy keep the "point" much longer...

The other way it would affect AFR's would be if it was overrunning the fuel pressure regulator. I doubt this would happen on a stock turbo.

Yea, I've been 1 each year now, this ones been on for a bit over a year now. But keep in mind the lancer sat in a shop for a good portion of the winter. I should learn how to tear these things apart and repair them myself...
