My tophats came in today and boy, they are ugly

 

Damn that sucks ray, good thing I didn't lend him my dp then

Some guy has had my stock catback for ages but he works/lives in union city and I'm rarely there

 

Yeah. I'm a pretty honest and giving dude. A while back I had some extra pads in my tool box and a dude from iclub needed some. They were hawk pads with like 85% left on them. I told him to swing by my house and take them and drop $20 in the box since I wasn't home. He did.

Good people. Works at Ocean Honda now. Was bummed when he traded in his suby.

I figure what goes around comes around. Hopefully if I ever need to put the stock exhaust back on I can find one cheap. Hell, next time I'm at GST I'll see if Mike's got one in his exhaust pile I can buy off him.

 

I feel ya! I am always trying to help out peeps, just ask Jody LOL....

I am going to keep my car for sure, just going to swap out the turbo then get it tuned. It might be a while though I need to get my house ready to sell and get moved into another pad. Crappy school district and crappier neighbors are motivational...

I would love to get a 2011 hatchback in aspen white. Throw some springs,lip,flaps,and goldies on it and call it done. Can't swing a big car payment though. Single income and 2 kids is a cash killa

 

Yeah we're kinda going through the same thing. Have my wife's car payment so we have to keep my car going until her car is paid off. Then it'll be my turn. Hopefully. LOL!

And same thing with the school district. We are hoping to get the hell out of the POS we're in now and buy since it's literally cheaper to pay a mortgage than to rent a pad we'd need. I HAVE to have a garage and parking for 4.
And watsonville is out of the question for us because the school SUCK. So we're looking at Corralitos. The elementary school there is awesome and Monte Vista Christian is out there. Gilroy and Aptos as well.

Single income sucks. We did that for a while and it SUCKED. Now we might as well be single income since damn near one of our incomes goes to daycare. 1 kid $1100 a month for 4 days a week!

 

Day care is madness, we are going to do the single income thing till the kids are both in school and can get into a after school program.. Then I'm sending the wifey back to work! Hell she's the one with the degree not me haha

I'll let you know when I get my hands on a td04, maybe we can help each other with the installs...

 

i hated monte vista christian lol

 

perfect!

I'm gonna be down at my buddies shop this weekend. Gonna get my car up on a lift and check it over. Try to fix a couple small things that have been bugging me and take a closer look at what's broke in my suspension. I have some new front end links coming and I need new rear end links too. Hopefully get some of this maintenance crap done so I move on to the turbo issue. Then the brake issue. Try to make it til my motor goes bang or at least until late summer to do the clutch. Yeah for a lift!

 

I wish I had access to a lift!! It would make so many jobs easier. Workin on your back on a cold driveway blows!

 

Speaking of laying on your back, where's Matt?

Oh and when are you available for an install Kyle?

 

Dude I regret lending him my boost contrOl.... Only got part of it back... DOnt wanna be a dIck but I'm thinking of going by his house.. Buy don't know where he lives...

 

Yeah. This is the first time I'll have it up and he doesn't know yet. LOL!

I'm heading out to the shop in S.F. to help do some sanding on my buddies 52 chevy and as soon as I finish knocking that out it's going up on the lift. Haaa.

Hopefully he'll help me with the clutch cause I have no friggin clue what i"m doing there. I know how to take it all apart so I'm sure I can figure it out but it always feels good to have someone there that's done that isht before.

Save me a TON of money to do it myself. Shop quote was $1100 with all the diff fluid changed too. Pretty solid deal but if I can source parts I can do it for half.

 

Not sure... Don't want to do it in the rain, and I work all week(mon threw fri.) then the run is on Saturday. Plus tomorrow I need to install gutters on my house and work on some other projects.

Between you and Justin you guys could probably handle it. I want to help but I'm pretty tied up right now....

 

What are you missing? The mounting bracket?

 

Yeah we probably could but we have no tools lol
