Awesome. Finally got to put the engine back in the '57 Cadillac I worked on a few weeks back. Took all day but finished in enough time to fire it up before quitting time. Beautiful car it is. Wish it was warm out so we could drop the top and take it for a test drive tomorrow.
 
I'm having a bad week. First my car battery Monday, then someone dents my car on Tuesday, Wednesday my Fanatec pedals are screwing up, and now today I get this:




Lets just say I'm ready for this week to be over now.
 
You know what's really annoying? The official Forza 4 forums. I've been a member on there since 2008 and have made a few posts here and there but I just logged in to post my gallery up and it had to go through moderator approval first. Fair enough, it's my first thread for a while.

Then I tried to reply to a thread using 'Quick Reply'. I typed my message, pressed Submit and the message hasn't appeared. I tried in another thread using the actual full Reply option and that post needed moderator approval. I wouldn't mind this but I cannot find a single page on the forum or even the site that mentions anything about post approvals for members with low post counts. I've had to PM a moderator just to ask when the restriction will be removed.

A new members guide or FAQ about it would be nice. It feels amazing coming back here and being able to actually post correctly.

Standard Fanatec pedals.

You won't regret stepping up to ClubSport pedals I promise I had nothing bit trouble with the standard ones after about 4 months. It is worth every penny for the CSPs and the tuning kit

Yeah, I know, However with my xbox crapping out I'm probably not going to be able to afford some expensive pedals right now. I may end up getting the standard CSR's for now when they come out unless my xbox is an easy fix. My standard pedals do still work once I pump the brake pedal a half dozen to a dozen times.
 
Put a sign on my front door sayin no one is home and no lights were on yet about 30 kids still knock and ring the doorbell.
 
Total rubbish the MS Wheel I bought on ebay has stopped working so I have to arrange to send it back for a refund (whenever the seller decides to return my email) and look for another :(
 
Alright. Working on installing an A/C system in a car that never had A/C and doing it with no directions. Never done one before either. All based on theory and a little help from my co-workers. Stressful and slow going but whatever.
Finally finished my wheels. I took them down to bare metal earlier this week and finished painting/ clearing them today. Mounted them just in time for winter.

Really thinking of buying one of these in the coming months as a second car, if I can find one.
 
Key word is if. They are hard to come by unmolested or with clean titles. If you are looking to buy a 99-00 Si and want to keep it, you need to live in a good neighborhood. And by good I mean in the middle of nowhere. Don't street park it. And an alarm wont be enough.

I have owned multiple Hondas that were broken into or stolen. 3 months after I bought the Si, someone tried stealing it. I lived in an upper middle class neighborhood and had an alarm, fuel cutoff switch, clutch boot and parked directly in front of my place. Thieves won't stop at anything for that car.

No way. Keeping it stock minus the rims and suspension. I love my SSRs. I ain't trading those.

Don't I know it, I had an EJ coupe near-stolen while I was in basic training in '06. Since coming to Oklahoma though, haven't had much trouble with my cars.

Are Honda's so expensive there? :confused: A Honda getting stolen here? I never heard of that.. :lol: I had a EK and EM1, always parked outside.. Not even 1 hair on my head worries about my car getting stolen. God bless this country!

Oh and I got up at 5.15 am to go to work, when arrived at work I was 'extra', so I took the day off.

Impostor!! haha, the EK is probably my favorite Civic of all time and when done right like that, the look nice done up with the Si blue and the wheels. I like!

Time to get ready for work. Gotta make a call this morning to see if I got the job I interviewed for on Monday. Wish me luck!
 
Worst day at work I've had.
Started at 5 am so we could get into the operating theatre (I'm an electrician that does a bit of work at a hospital) to change over some switches. Then one of the operating lights stopped working, and something went bang in the UPS. Had to fix it all really under the pump as they had their first op starting at 8.
Then had to put a power point in a cupboard with a stupid comms cabinet that was in the way, felt like ripping the whole thing out, annoying.
Good to get that off my chest :)
 
Got drunk, took videos of people dancing silly, and took countless photos of people doing Charlie Chaplin impersonations...so yeah, great day. Though it was made slightly worse by the fact that I had to entrust my prized Accord with my cousin who can't seem to drive a stick...then again it was either that, taking the risk of being pulled for a breatho or have my grandmother drive the Accord home, who is worse at driving manual than my cousin is...
 
Stripped the interior of an early '65 K code Mustang at work. It's a new restoration project and work is a bit slow right now. Not a bad day at all except when I pulled the headliner there was a huge mouse nest and I was covered in poop- literally.
Now to go home and play a little FM4.

Bet removing that made the car a whole lot lighter! :P

My day wasn't bad. Keep getting science homework on this stupid 'Kerboodle' website...

Civic and Integra have topped the stolen list in the states ever since the boy racer craze when Fast and the Furious came out. Kills it for true Honda fans.
 
Got a call from the place I had an interview at this morning. I start the 5th!! So stoked for this it will be my first full time job and a steady 8-5 will be awesome.
