mmmmmm, rolling shots FTW...
I want my SE lip...

I REALLY need my JDM rear installed, seeing it for test fitting looked SO damn good.



And one of Jesse's STi.

We had fun today up at NED. No, I didn't run so I have no times to post.

So, I performed a boost leak test yesterday. If I was writing a short story about my boost leak test it would be called, "ZOMG! The boosties are escaping!"
The system basically couldn't hold any pressure. I fixed some huge leaks, particularly the UICP-to-TB joint, but I still have a major leak at the compressor outlet. I have a larger turbo outlet pipe and the flange between it and the compressor housing is puking out air. My guess is that the gasket has rotted/worn. My major concern is that Helix, who made the outlet pipe and gasket, is no longer producing those pieces. I will call Gruppe-S today to see if they can sell me a gasket, but if not I have to explore other options...either modifying the stock gasket or reinforcing with RTV...

TypeR, let me know what you think about undertaking a side project with me. It would involve developing an app for the iPod touch and it has biomedical implications.

Holy....I can't even find a word...that is awesome. They are either extremly lucky or invinceable to have walked away from that.
OMG, so friggen cute!!! When am I bringing Rai over to play? Rose and I have our appointment with the Dr today to find out when the baby is due so I'll be on the Cape til 5. I could find a way to make it over pretty much any other day with the Rai monster.
He really is adoreable. I saw a much younger version of Rai yesterday at NED, sooooo cute. Made me want another puppy.

We can talk about it. I could definitely be interested. There is somewhat of a learning curve for me here... they are written in a completely different language than what I use on a day-to-day basis. Certainly nothing I can't learn - it will just take a little more time. I do have a good friend that has spent the time to learn this though whose brain I can pick... He has several apps up on the store currently.
Shop in South Dakota has already made clutch paks for the GTR. They were looking for a volunteer with an X MR to donate their car for a month. A guy stepped up and is giving them the car. I'm getting an xcite in my pants....

Haha, Shihtzu is a dog delicacy. How big is he (TWSS)? Rai is about 65lbs but use to play with a much larger lab.
