time to make up for some posts i didn't make today.

have my company meeting in providence convention center followed by a work sponsored trip to dave and busters. it was a good time overall- they had more than enough food....i'm still stuffed and beer/wine/well drinks for free all night. i had a couple of vodka drinks a bunch of beers and felt pretty damn good.

one of my coworkers won a big stuffed animal. in our drunken state, we decided whoever possesses that animal is in charge (my boss and his boss are both gone for the next week), so since i have it in my car, looks like i'm the boss.....OH NoESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

 

i'm going to try to get a dyno rented in the spring for the day. i probably need like 3 hours of tuning personally (gas tune needs to be cleaned up, meth tune and then meth/nitromethane tune).

i know tdc's dyno is $100/hr to rent, so if i can't find a better deal, i may go that route. at least i know it loads up accurately and they have a good cooling/ventilation system (which ESP did not last i saw)

 

i like john brewer's on rte 20. it's a fun place and the food is really good.

the waitresses are yummy too.

 

yay....i got my w2. that means it's tax time. well, at least one of them. i have to wait for my w2 from my previous job. everything else i do is electronic so i can just get the info online.

hooray for technology. boo for having to do taxes

 

dealing with etrade sucks. trying to figure out what the hell is going on with ESPP and options is a pain in the *****. i'm glad i work for a private company now.

 

Anj, I probably will end up doing that...just want to take note of all these options as well, it's going to depend on timing quite honestly. I'd like to have all my stuff installed by the time the weather gets nice, which could be....well who knows in new england, maybe late april? It depends whose coming here and when, I wouldnt mind just getting some base dyno runs in so I can compare before/after, but I dont think I'll have a chance to do that. Have scheduled a time for Ivey yet, what time were you thinking about heading down there? Tim, where are you getting tuned, if any place?

 

mikie i was so nervous you were going to hit my car in your drunken state. You did good though. I have a feeling driving may be another thing you may do better inebriated.

 

dex i was doing some research and it looks like the clutch line is universal to the 6 and 5 speed. I have a feeling mitsu used that same clutch line where ever possible. Let me know if you still want to get rid of it. Otherwise i might just skip the braided clutch line when i remove the restrictor pill.

 

cool man. northestern is a pretty sweet school, such a nice area. man i still wish i was an ME...

 

How'd it go with your lady friend? Are you and Dex both gonna be rocking "girlfriends" to keep up appearances?

 

What'd you switch to? I love ME, very hands on and such.

Hey guys I'm doing a brake flush should I just swap in stainless steel lines while i'm at it? Along with a clutch line with a bypass to that weird "clutch softener"?

 

make note to the plural-arity of the word "girlfriends" haha

 

I would they arent very expensive. Just make sure you use flare wrenches on the brake lines or they WILL round off.

 

Hm... I'll definitely make note of that. Now I just have to find someone who sell S.S. braided lines for my car...

 

i'm goin out with her tonight. still gotta figure out what we are gunna do tho...

i was always a CS (computer science). i almost switched to ME freshman year and didn't . i was actually really thinking about going back for my masters in ME. one of the major drawbacks is taht i'd need ~1 year of prereq classes.
