I can't wait until I get back from my deployment so all of you can see the TII after the motor swap. I'm getting really excited about it. I've already started fabricating the mounts for my V mount IC setup.

^ I'm so jealous...I wanted a V Mount setup, but it's too much work and I'd have to modify the front end to take more air to it...blah blah blah etc etc....Soi spearco hear I come....after I'm out of debt...lol after ordering stage 3 turbo and standalone I have $100 in my bank account...and my moldings came in, so I guess I have to ask my sister if I can borrow some money to get the fender painted hahaha....someone find me a job! I don't want to work in the food industry anymore but Brock's Icre Cream seems like the only choice ...hey Berry that job you were talkin about earlier still open? Haha summer time rolls around I can work any day of the week. Pleeeease someone get me a job.. I need some hookups.

Hey Nick, go and check with that car audio shop in Yuba City for a job as an installer. That kid Andrew works there, but he'll be leaving for basic training soon. They usually pay fairly well too. That or go work at Wal-Mart. Even working as a cashier there you'll make $7.50 starting out. Just a thought. Laterz.

Hey Nick, just tell them that you have experience and give them my number. I'll say that you worked for me. You might be able to make more money that way. I don't mind covering for you for a job like that. Besides, installing car audio is REALLY simple.

Actually installing car audio is simple............................................ ........................... in an FC. Get into the newer cars and you'll probly be finding yourself with some headaches. There are simple things about it, but there are also complex things about it, like for example replacing a Bose stereo, something I hope no one ever has to do. PITA Anywho good luck with finding a job.

Hey Jake, how good are you with painting cars? I might end up bringing the TII to you when it's time for paint if you are good enough and don't charge too much.

You saw my spoiler right? That was probly one of my worse jobs. here's some pics of my FC that I painted. I actually didn't spray the paint, my uncle did but I did all the prep work. With advice of course.

Hey, is that headlight cover still there or is it trashed from the wreck? If you still have it, I want it.

Zach

P.S. Not bad looking paint job either.

The wrecked one was my first FC, The one I painted was my second. Same color different car so NO I don't have the headlight cover but you can get it from rx7.com for like 80. Or wait till I buy it for no reason and sell it cheap oh wait, No more FC's for me hehe

I know the Paint job isn't the best but it was damn good for the 400 dollars in supplies and doing it myself with the help of my friend and uncle. It still needed to be wet sanded down flat, but I sold it to a gangster that didn't really know what he was getting. Still looked awesome tho!

If I can ever get a break from getting ready for all of my trips I'd love to swing by Ben. Did Shane get a hold of you the other night? He called me and asked if I knew anyone that rebuilt FD engines. I gave him your home number. Hopefully you'll get a couple of more engines too so that you can get your shop off of the ground. You'll have an RE to build right around the end of the year.
