Yes I know, both my parents are nurses in ICU and CCU. They try not to bring the work home with them but over the years I picked up things here and there.

But I had a co-worker, a great guy and he was an older ginger in his late 60's. He got sick when he was in Japan on a job with the company I work for, he was just there maybe 2 weeks. When he got back he went to the doctor and the doctor said he had melanoma and the he had 2 weeks to live. Well it was pretty much that, he left the job and rapidly withered away. It was so sad and so sudden. He leave behind a wife and two daughters.

So that was enough to scare me and I had noticed a few spots, I scratched them and it looked like a itsy bitsy round crater. I thought maybe it was bug bites and I just scratched the bite area off.......nope

Well being super white / ginger / always in the sun making these kits I guess it was bound to happen.

So now I will use long sleeves, hats, light sun screen minimum spf30 to block uva and uvb... I think there are two kinds of UV. I'll buy another pop up tent. I'll make some sides for the pop up tent to block the sun from hitting me directly.

Vapor, I really need to switch over to this, I really do.

OK well Im going to get some rest this weekend I really worked a lot to get that kit out. I also was fitting the ac and ps for instructions and that took some time.

It really got down to the wire to get it out by the 31st. I thought it was going to be easy but when I started getting all the little things to complete the kit it took a lot more time then I thought.

Tomorrow I plan to make the instructions and they will be available soon.

Just need to get this off my Chest.

My step-son went to the barber shop on the corner and found out a lil bit about what goes on in the neighbor hood where I lived.

Well on July 31st after I shipped speedoflife's kit I drove by a crowd of people looking down the street and some cop cars. I pulled over because Im nosey and I saw a cop with his finger in some guys neck plugging a bullet hole.

The ambulance came with the rolling stretcher and the paramedics looked at him and rolled the stretcher back into the ambulance. Then they came out with the body bag!!

Back to the barber shop.

Last night around 9pm we heard 5 gun shots in front of the house, maybe a few streets away. At 2am (5 hours later) we hear 3 more gun shots behind the house on the other side of the sewage creek.

Well 2 guys were murdered at 9pm just 50 yards away from me where I walk from my house to the liquor store and at 2am another guy way murdered behind my house on the other side of the creek.

now I know why I have 2 bullets holes in my window, ******* stray bullets

So believe me, I want to finish all these kits so I can get the **** OUT OF DODGE !!!!!!!!!!

 

time to move

 

Are you still at skylark area? Union City is hit or miss, I used to live on the other side where its nice and quiet, I live on Alvarado Niles close to niles and still quiet. Decoto area is just BS. Though i run in the middle of the night and never had anything happen. Guess I'm lucky?

 

I have lived in Union City for over 30 years and I went to Logan which is by Decoto and my old BFF from high school was a Decoto gangster...... I know Decoto is the rough part of town but its nothing like East Oakland by the coliseum.

My son said the Barber shop guy told him we were retarded for moving here and that we picked the worst part of the city to move too

Where I live now, its all HIT !!!

2 months ago I was leaving home depot and I was driving past the Marina, dead body on the ground between 2 cars. 1 cop was there to divert traffic and there were some investigators there but the way they were acting it was liked hed been there over night.

Sucks though, Ive been here 7 months and 4 people have been killed within a 100 yard radius of my house.

I cant leave until I finish all the back logged work, I can't afford to and it's as simple as that. I am literally stuck here because of my bad planning and because I made a big mess of the GB.

OK OK OK, enough sulking and whoa is me...

Back to making the instructions.

 

almost done with the FC install instructions, maybe 75%. Its a pdf and I have 82 slides so far. I think it'll be over 100 pages.

 

I finished the RE FC VM installtion procedure. Its about 110 slides or so. I have to send it through one drive in hotmail.

I will see about attaching it to my site for download later on.

Its 28,275 KB

 

Ben, you can sign up for a free dropbox account and get 2 gigs free. It has a public HTTP Share option you can send to folks to download without using the dropbox client.

 

+1 for dropbox, super simple to use.

 

It's moments like these when I remember how I would whisper to her "Let's die together." and she'd do her damnedest. That dream is finally becoming a reality. This is how I die.

 

It came with a free BANANNA?!

**** YEAH

 

cool, so you already got it, right on, were you able to get the instructions in my email

 

Yes, I got the instructions. Staples gave way on one end of the box. I don't think anything was lost, but some extra tape should help prevent that in your other shipments. Otherwise the packing job was top notch.

 

On the radiator, those staples gave out...crap


I have not had any issues but I noticed that the card board box material is softer then before.

So the tape on the top of the koyo box held, yes?

Ok I'll back the staples up from now on.

 

Yeah the tape held.

 

Yaaa buddy! This thread blew up in the past week didn't it. Kit looks great. Can't wait to get my hands on one!

 

I think yes?

but the redesign really fixed most of the issues.

now I just need to finish all the back logged work and restructure the business.

 

Any updates for us plebs at the end of the list? Hope everything's going smoothly Ben.

 

all i can do is make them as fast as I can. but when i get to the kit on hand i will verify with the owner if they plan on any last minute changes like color of brackets or silicon hoses.

 

Any updates Ben?

 

i had originally made brackets for all the kits on the older design so i was making the new brackets for the up-dated design. I have been doing the final test fit for your kit. You still want the same colors for the hoses and frame yes.

 

Yes please.

 

'SpeedOfLife', have you had a chance to install your V-mount setup, be interested to see and hear your comments on it?

 

Ben, how's the progress coming with the kits, things looking good with expected delivery times etc?

 

That is unfortunately probably a long way off. By the time I got my kit my priorities and goals have shifted, end result being the car probably won't run until I graduate because I presently have no ECU nor turbo.
