Car stuff and friends.
So NTT's Brain is leaving us for several months this week,...bummer. But we'll have the Supertechnician in for a visit from Germany this Saturday...WOOHOO!
I spent my day off at Dynospot Racing getting some work done on my car...waited 7 hours at, mostly, Starbucks. Thank goodness their was a movie theatre in the small strip mall and I went ahead and saw "The Kingdom", a film by Michael Mann. Holy Shit, what a movie...a MUST see.
So as far as car work:
1. Rollers: necessary maintenance.
2. Cam Seals: necessary maintenance.
3. Dual timing belts: necessary maintenance.
4. Fuel filter: necessary maintenance.
5. Uprated RS4 high flow water pump: lowers engine operating temp.
6. Lower temperature thermostat: allows coolant to dump at lower temp.
7. Lower temp cooling fan switch and sensor: again, clicks the electric fans on earlier in the game.
8. Driveline Stabilizing snub mounts: eliminates drive-line slack, quicker and firming up and down shifts...WOOHOO!
9. And a bunch of doo dads that I have no clue as to their purpose.
So the car runs a good 25 degrees cooler, awesome! With a high temp forced induction motor, cool is good. Also, the driveline stabilizer rocks...what a huge difference. All I need is new rear carbon metallic PBR pads and I'm ready to rock!

Ok, goob, you can borrow the Ibanez for four months, but there's a catch-you have to look after the strat and Gibson as well:p They'll be ready for you when you drop by.
