OK... George... and the rest of the PGH Autocrossers....

I'm out for this weekend as it stands now. My uncle and I are going to Erie to open camp and I'll be gone all day. He's gotta work Saturday, and he knows what has to be done. I've not done this in 18 years...

So... unless something changes... I'll be running the 1st SCR event as my first event. Not happy, since I wanted to scrub the tires @ NP first.

 

I'm *obviously* out for this weekend as well. Unless Seattle has an auto-x this weekend, and even at that I doubt my dad's Sierra or Astro are auto-x friendly. Hmmmmmmmmm could always take the Fusion Challenge....

 

I'm off on Sat...can't wait to see the beast

Anyone up for an h/e install on Sat? Not sure where Dan'll be tuning, but figured it'd be something else to do haha

BTW -- wtf to buy a mounting cup in Pittsburgh? I finally bought an interceptor...figured I might try the rice shop down on 51. Advanced doesn't seem to have them...

 

I took personal leave days this weekend. I'll be harassing dan and brian, add the h/e install to the list of things to do this weekend.

 

Cool. I'll be free all day Saturday. Maybe Friday night, too.

 

I'm out. I will be working Fri night instead of day. Then on Saturday/Sunday will be working on my car morning to night. Have fun.

 

Well, you could try that performance/audio place on 60 not far from Robinson Towne center. They might have it, or at least can get it.

 

well my wastegate is stuck open on my car which is good, im gonna leave it that way and go back to stock tune and maybe just tune for the injectors until i can figure out the boost tuning problem. maybe over the next few days i can get together with you guys again and dump the ls2 edit tuning and start over with hp tuners.

 

iv got some things to add to the lis to

 

Havent posted on here in a while...but anyway last weekend with all the rain we got well I found a nice little leak in my car water all around the sunroof button the headliner was pretty wet in that area so it looks like ill be heading to the dealership to get this taken car of.

 

That sucks. I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the sunroof.

 

When I put the boost gauge in my redline, I just ordered a pod from Summit.

 

Mine's loud as hell on the highway. Usually gotta keep the roof-sliding-thingy shut.

My quad door also leaks every now and then. Haven't had time to get it looked at.

Like that one?

BTW you still have the pic of the gauge installed?

 

lol thats your fault for buying a saturn.

 

Welp, since I can't apply for full-time with my new job until August '08, it looks like I'm either gonna have to get a second job, or go back to doing HVAC... neither one of which thrills me greatly.

Pwned again.

 

I believe that is the one that I got. The pictures I have are kind of dark but here are some.

Take out the underscore.

 

Stupid Saturns.

 

I payed for: a drivetrain lifted from a SAAB, wonderful brakes, nice rims, a tune. The rest Saturn decided to thrown in for free.

 

Yea all I payed for was the engine and tranny

 

George?? Which George?

 

Not to go off on a tangent or anything...

But did you ever feel like no matter what you do, you just can't seem to make any progress? I'm feeling that way right now... As some of you may know, I went to tech school for HVAC. It took me over a year after school to find a job in that field, during which time I worked at Pizza Hut and a car dealership making crap money. I finally got the HVAC job, which wasn't really the greatest either but was better than making pizza's or checking in parts. During that entire time, I had also been applying for various jobs with the phone company.

Well, in February I finally got a job with the phone co. I knew from the time I applied that it was part-time (20 hours/week), but the lady who called to offer me the job told me that if my performance and attendance were satisfactory, I could be made full-time. When I actually started, however, I found out that I would be stuck doing part-time for at-least 18 months, at which time I can apply for a full-time position, if there are any available and if I qualify. As long as I'm part-time, I'll have to pay for my health insurance. I'm also shelling-out a week's pay for fuel and parking every month. Long story short, I'm going to have roughly $55 left at the end of each month, after my bills are paid.

What sucks ass is, the HVAC job had full company-paid benefits. The hourly-rate wasn't so hot, but then again I wasn't paying for my health insurance or parking and wasn't using nearly as much gas. Right now, I'm actually debating whether to stick it out in the current job, or look at getting back into HVAC. On one hand, I hate like hell to give up the phone co. job because I tried for so long to get hired there. But on the other hand, there are no guarantees and it's not paying me at-all to make the commute for 20 hours/week. Besides which, my schedule varies from week to week so getting a second job would be difficult to say the least. I just feel like I keep running and running, and despite my efforts never get anywhere...

Sorry about the rant... just had to vent a bit.

 

When did BJ wrote that?

 

Well, I'm guessing a while ago since BJ mentioned driving a Honda.... he's the Mazdaspeed 6 now...

 

Was he talking about me or another JORGE..?

 

no clue George...... I'm not even sure what the whole topic is at this point...
