calvin Web site looks great. nice job... I agree the phone dials suck too.
DavidR Zack- I like the additions to the site.
Glad you like it. It needs some work since some of the pages don't look right in 800x600. The computer I do the work on has 1024 resolution so it looks good there but when I get to any other computer its all messed up.

Oh yeah, happy b-day. Ah yes, 20. Nothing really happens at 20, and you still have a year to go. All I know is I was gettin laid alot more when I was 20, but thats another story.

Tires will be here Friday; wheels will be on Saturday!

And hell yeah I'm up for VMP Saturday. www.battleoftheimports.com
Who else wants to go? Robin? Joe? David? How bout everybody? I just hope the weather doesn't suck like the PAST 8 SATURDAYS.

We're going to G-Force karts Saturday at midnight too. We're trying to rent the track for 30 mins, which is $340 total. If we get 10 guys that can definately go then we're in (thats $34 a peice ). So far there are 5 definates, and a few maybes. If you want to go let me know ASAP (like today). 338-2158. If all goes well we'll have a few beers & brawls at my place, about 5 mins away from G-force on Monument Ave, after the race.

Pics of the Microtech eh? Right on...you'll see some black carpet, a few wiring looms and a cable dangling around the old stereo area...

I still have to fish out a lil bit of the old harness (3/4 is gone) and figure out how many parts of the ol vacuum spider I can rip out...

Rip it all out, that is what I am about to do! Just buy a few vacuum nipple caps and about 5 feet of 5/16 fuel line and you are set.

I am ditching all of the solenoids (1st 3 are for emissions, 4th and 5th are FPR and twin scroll setup. I think on yours there is another one that is a boost control solenoid but I am not sure if that works with the microtech. Anyhow, I am going to hook the FPR up to another vacuum source and block everything else off. I am not going to take the twin scroll flapper itself out. Too much work when I am going to be taking it all out in a while for the bigger turbo.

Only 3? I know I have at least 4, I think 5. Regardless, yank them and the vacuum spider out and to clean that mess up. I will be doing mine within a week or so, I will let you know how it goes.

Not if I get to them first.

Seriosly thogh, will an S5 EC work with an S4 engine? I decided to skimp out on the budget a bit and just have the engine and stuff S4 but it will look like an S5 and hopefully be just as fast. Oh yea, went out with the family for my birthday, got 150 bucks from my grandparent, 120 gig HD from parents, and I'm hoping to top 200 bucks from vasious friends. So now all i need to find are the damn parts lol.

looks like your U key isn't working...

A S5 ECU will run a S4 block IF everything except the block itself is S5 stuffs...sensors etc etc...

But then your going to have a problem with the OMP...the S5 ECU won't be recieving a voltage signal from the OMP and it'll go into fail safe...

Contact info for that guy Joe? Robin, I think you'll need a fuel pump eventually...

Alright, nobody panic. The RRR server is down. Just stay calm. I'm sure someone is working on it now.
I hope I didn't overload it with all the junk I loaded up on it.

uuuuuuu

got a new keyboard. One of the many plus sides of having a computer store owned by family, cheap computer parts, and a garunteed job. Anyhoo, Joe, are still interested in getting rid of your hatch for one without a wiper? I'm willing to trade or something.

id rather pick them up, or something other than shipping. i cant see paying all that money when you arent that far away. not really sure how much those seats go for, and i guess alot of it is the condition. are there any rips or tears in them?
