yah sucks dat ur managers don’t get it. my previous work was like dat, made the switch a few yrs ago and mang it was a great move. more pay more rewarding work more toys to da point i don’t even really want anything right now..
i mean i still want the fast awd machine for dd but i honestly don’t like the new R’s front bumper. the black grill looks like a faking mustache and can’t be unseen.. i don’t like sedans so S3 is meh.. still scratching my head.
Lol German Mustache haha. Reminds me of the optional grill for the GK.
Yeah I like my job, the schedule flexibility (tough to beat a M-Th work week) and what I do, but when your project managers are shady and underhanded...I don't want to work for someone I don't respect.
oh wat to do dis weekend. motor STI motor R work on GTI/GK (just a quick check and top off if needed) maybe pull out my bicycles, window shop cars, etc etc
going to remove the helper spring on the R’s clutch and will install a clutch throw adjustable stopper on the floor which i should be getting later today.
Nice pics! What kind of camera you taking those with?
One of these days I'll have a nice in house audio system.
Yesterday I was in a meeting with one of the higher ups and our customer and our guy was just lying thru his teeth to 'save face' (aka satisfy his ego) about why we couldn't meet the deadline. It was so aggravating. Just freaking be honest with the customer man..."we fucked up...our procurement team dropped the ball...we will get back on track....done"...ARGH!
I did receive my auto trim panel tools and last shifter piece yesterday. I spent 1.5 hours disassembling the center console, installing new parts and reassembling center console. Haven't taken for a drive but a lot of slop is gone and the shifts are definitely tighter and shorter.
Nice on the 5 day weekend kenchan. I'm doing mine next weekend starting wednesday.
I need to get off my butt and work on our Fit. Been lazy lately. At least I ran errands with it and gave it a good bath this morning. Was starting to get garage rot from sitting.
Speaking of shifters...I noticed that the Mugen shifter in the Fit has some slop now. Guess 10 years and 200k miles can do that. I should see if I can find which bushings are worn. Maybe the ones on the transmission and not the shifter itself? Those are original to the car. Along with all other bushings everywhere. Really can't complain about how the car has held up overall. It's no spring chicken at this point. Still drives solid and, amazingly, has no more rattles than when new. Surprising for a tin can.

200k miles on an aftermarket shifter, glad Mugen still makes an OEM level part.

Pics are taken with an old Canonet QL17 GIII rangefinder. Hoping to take more pictures this weekend, I really enjoy it.
My setup was super cheap, you should do it! I paid $230 for the Klipsch towers, a velodyne sub and an old Sony receiver. The receiver failed after 1.5 years (with me, it was 15 years old) and I spent $270 on an open box $700 Yamaha receiver at best. $500 all in & every single component would've cost more to buy independently new. Shoot, I even have a Klipsch center speaker I just haven't found space for too that came with the $230 deal. Craigslist FTW
Shinjari do they make shoulder & knee joints? I could sure use them.
Mike that's a great camera. You should run some B&W film through it. Maybe build yourself a home darkroom, soup & print them yourself. It's really satisfying.
GAFIT drive that bad boy, it makes your car happy.
