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.

Holler back, young'n

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....

Let me check the weather and maybe I'll have a bbq one day. I think he should be good with Rai- he certainly likes the ladies despite being fixed....I'll see how he does with the Shihtzu next door and let you know if he tries to eat him or not.....

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