I got the FD back!

As most of you may know my car had an engine fire 3 months ago. So I figured that since Im replacing all the wiring and hoses in the car I might as well rebuild it since it had 112k on the motor. So with brand new rotor housings, 3mm apex seals, a street port, new injectors, new wiring harness, all new vac hoses, all new solenoids, all new seals, a PFC, and a new fuel pulsation dampener my car is finally done. Im trying to get over the bill. Lets just say I could have bought another FD. And so...

Im back bitches!

I love S. Pas but I needed more space.

Im working in Vernon now. I sure am going to miss my 1.8 mile commute to Monrovia for work. Oh well. The FD isnt the daily anymore so it wont be too bad.

Damn Derek... when are you going to get your car back?

So... I had my first day at the new job and I must say that working sucks. I woke up before the sun was out, drove the 10 towards downtown LA and then had to avoid being run over by the 18 wheelers in Vernon. My office is right next to the VP of Engineering. Only thing seperating us is a glass wall and of course my monitor is facing him so no more postwhoring at work. Life is the sux.
