    Project Clean 87

    I finally got around this morning to getting my show cards made up and laminated professionally. Just need to create a better label for the framed magazine page and I'll be good.

    Project Clean 87

    Right now. Here's my lights on in various combo's (I have 3 total sets of lights, 2 HID and the stock fogs). I'll be upgrading my old HID's to the ones I just got because the difference is very, very noticable. High's and Lows. Highs, then all. And now some shots from last Saturday's...

    Project Clean 87

    Got the headlights adjusted last night, they are super bright and light up the road the way I want them to. I'll be changing the old HID setup out for one that matches the new ones I just got since the light output difference is very noticable. I'll try and take photo's tonight if I remember.

    Project Clean 87

    Time for an update. I've been busy as hell lately since my Geo got totalled a month ago (T-boned in the drivers wheel). I replaced the alternator and serpentine belt today (had to modify the alternator a little because of the water pump bracket), wrapped my center console and switch panel in...

    Just bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500

    LOL, good one. Honestly, I miss my Geo (the POS Civic is my current DD and I'm looking to replace it). My Dodge is 2WD, and I know how to drive propperly in the snow/ice.

    Just bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500

    So I gave in to the weather that I know is coming as well as the need for a truck that can tow the Supra on a car trailer if needed (like to the up coming car show on the 4th) and bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab short bed with the 4.7L V8 Magnum. It has 171k miles on it, a propper tow...

    My new-to-me 92 Civic Sedan

    The 95-01 Metro's are the ones to get. Mine is a 95 and I liked it a lot too. I put almost 52k miles on it since buying it in April 2010.

    My new-to-me 92 Civic Sedan

    Since my Geo got totaled Tuesday I had to buy another car ASAP. Given my very tight time frame I went to a local dealership and bought a 92 Honda Civic sedan. It has the D15B7 motor, auto trans, power everything (although not all working), upgraded headlight bulbs (pure white), and new tires...

    My Metro just got totaled :(; Stupid Ford Escapes

    According to the VA emergency room doctor I just have a sprained back and hand muscle. I'm working with their insurance company because I only had liability only insurance and Progressive said they aren't going to do anything about the accident. Progressive told me that I'd only be dealing...

    My Metro just got totaled :(; Stupid Ford Escapes

    I can't do anything with my Metro (besides steal the jack and stereo for my Honda) until after everything is settled with the insurance company. Go on http://geometroforum.com/index/ for Geo parts.

    My Metro just got totaled :(; Stupid Ford Escapes

    I talked with the insurance company today (from now on I'll only be dealing with the insurance company that the Ford is under since their driver is at fault and I only have liability). I gave my statement to the claims person about what happened. I also spoke briefly of the damage done to my...

    My Metro just got totaled :(; Stupid Ford Escapes

    It's either get pissed off and be miserable or have a sense of humor and move on with my life. The Geo is parked out front of my house with the front end resting on jack stands. I'm waiting to hear back from the other drivers insurance company right now. Someone on my Geo forums said to ask...

    My Metro just got totaled :(; Stupid Ford Escapes

    Here's an aerial photo of the accident scene. I was travelling East on Blackburn Road going straight. The road I was on does not have any stop signs for my direction of travel. The driver of the Ford was traveling on Railroad Avenue which intersects with the Blackburn Road. He had a stop...

    Project Clean 87

    Over the last couple days I've worked on my center console as well as build my switch panel for the center console (turns out a ghetto hot-knife works very well). The red on my center console is spot putty. I still have to sand it down tomorrow as well as mount the switch panel.

    You should be able to order the housing from any vendor that sells Borg Warner turbo's. Yes I just swapped out the hot-side housing.

    Claiming mileage on taxes?

    Ah, I figured as much. I've never dealt with something like this before.

    Claiming mileage on taxes?

    Yes I do my own taxes. I usually use TurboTax online. Up until now I've only had to deal with 10-40EZ forms. If nobody knows for sure I'll ring up a local accountant to see what they say.
