was SUPPOSED to be a debt consolidation loan to pay off the car and the credit cards and get one monthly billi instead of like 6.

 

turbo came in yesterday and the "free stuff" he added were AN steel braided lines for the oil system. the turbo itself looks like they washed it as theres not a spec of dirt on it anywhere. feels really smooth turning it. i might be able to get it running this weekend. I still need to work with ken on getting my MS set up to run it as its running air/fuel/exhaust mods with the stock ECU only. the only bonus is im running a MAFT on it so no crappy AFM restriction and the sensor is after the turbo so i can vent with BOV to atmos without screwing up the mixture.

 

so uh, what's new guys?

 

WOW, long time no see.

 

Werd.

 

FREE (to someone who can use them):

A set of mechanics gloves, Size L.

When my new motorcycle gloves come in I wont need these anymore, and they're stretched out to be to big for my hands. So if you have bigger hands then me, have a free set of leathered gloves.

 

yeah, life's been nuts...heh. so what's been going on? who's still here, who's moved on, what's up with people?

 

well my supra blew its engine in january, bought a new supra in a LOT better condition. turbo i just got back should put me around 500ish HP. need MS on it now. living in columbia too.

 

cool!

i'm over in Overlea now...living in my own place (no roommates) about 3 blocks away from the boyfriend.

my Subaru is going into the shop because i'm sick of seeing her sit...my van's dying, and will be scrap as soon as the Subaru is running...and i'm looking to get a bike, as well. just got my endorsement this month after taking the class at Harley on rt 40.

 

Awesome. Another biker

Why was the Subie sitting?

 

summarized, a ****-ton of problems.

 

we'll all have to go bike cruising once faln gets her bike.

 

well i'm getting a SMALL bike, and avoiding highways...so that'll be tough.

 

our 850cc bikes only do 90ish at fastest currently. theyre not crotch rockets, only a 9500 redline

 

Anyone need/want a 6' folding table? was my computer table but i got a real desk for it now.

 

I have an interview with a company in Laurel next week. I was told they're looking for someone with Exchange experience. Anyone looking for a job?

 

not unless they can start me at 60k or more including 7 weeks off for military duty a year

 

turbo'y goodness

 

more pics of turbo installed. look how little room i have for air filter. gotta figure where to move power steering resevoir to. still got downpipe and intake track to reinstall before i can start her up.

 

I have lots of room

 

i'm not getting a crotch rocket, either - think 492cc thumper.

 

actually, if i had an intake pipe like you except at 45 deg that would prob work perfectly for me. the N/A had the resevoir on top of the wheel well but the turbo has the piping running thru side fender so they moved it to engine. i might put it where N/A is since my piping is completely different.


come try mine and you might think about a bit bigger engine. its not as powerful as you'ld think for the size engine.

 

but it's probably significantly taller than the Blast that i'm buying...there are very, very few bikes with a seat height of 25" (that's the highest i can comfortably sit on a bike at the moment), and those that ARE low enough are cruisers. i want a standard...not a cruiser, and not a crotch rocket.

 

 

i guess thats the difference in size there...i about killed myself on the 250cc's we used in class because it was small. made it harder to balance while leaning it since it reacted too quickly. i had to bounce my foot off the ground durring the test to keep it from falling over fully.
