I ordered the RCE coilovers back on 1/24 and still don't have them in hand, so unfortunately I had to cancel my order and go with a different brand that's in stock.

Don't feel like going into details but if you really want to know what transpired you can PM me.

Seinfeld. I just didn't get what all the fuss was about. The only time I got to see him was at friends' place and I just didn't understand why he was so popular; he wasn't funny to me. Same for Friends.

Same here, along with a number of others. That said, I have to say that having the Soup Nazi in my pocket comes in handy at times.

I had no intention to quote this post.

So, I went to hook it up and the box was missing the instructions. So, how hard could this be? Cable in, powercord to a plug, phone line in, eithernet cable to my desktop.

After several failed attempts I called "tech" support. Got a barely English speaking dude from India. He said to download the "app" and follow the instructions. So, I hooked up the old modem and downloaded the app to my ancient phone.

That wasn't helpful, so I called tech support again and got a barely English speaking Asian girl. She was telling me to do certain things while still on my land line. I explained that my phone was hooked up to the modem, so that won't work. Nope, without wifi my mobile phone won't work here in the hole I live in.

So, I ask for a technician to come out and hook this mothea up. They gave me the ol app runaround. FINALLY, I TOLD them to send a technician out.

The next day a technician arrived. He said that the instructions I downloaded was for a different modem. OK, fine, so fix it.

After about 30 minutes of him fucking around with the system, he concluded that the modem they sent me was not any good. He went out to his truck and brought in a new modem and hooked it up. YAAAAAA.......it worked!

Now my internet speed went from .75 megawhaps to .95 megawhaps (not 1.2 megathings). BIG WHOOP!

Oh yes, I miss the old days, hook up two wires and twist the rabbit ears. -

Either someone stole the or rabbit ear vendor shorted you the tin foil flags.

You may be the love child I never knew I had.

So the Subaru dealership I sold my BRZ to wanted the stock manifold back. So I bartered I'd reflash to the stock ECU file and also get my headers and flex kit back. They literally offered to let me take all the parts I wanted back. Needless to say, I should have a handful of parts I'll be posting on here!

Yeah I was not expecting it. But I'm glad I get to keep them and make a profit.

My mantra for the next few weeks:
I already have a header
I already have a header

Did I really need an overpipe?

My new shophand has been doing good but he is a massive hypochondriac. I won't go through all the examples, but the lastest was last Thursday. He did a big dumb and left a small hammer on the base of a punch and cycled it, 150 ton 6" stroke. It kicked the hammer out at mach chicken and it hit him in the ribs. He said he was alright, no pain or anything outside of the initial hit. Of course I still had to write up an incident report. Then He starts asking me if I know the symptoms of internal bleeding. Sure enough, Friday he worried himself sick and he felt he needed to go to ER.

He's fine

Good thing it didn't hit him in the family jewels.

The base plate is about 4'8". He's luckey it didn't hit closer to center, it would have shattered the hammer chest high. I already had one instance about a year and a half ago one of the guys tried to punch a 3/8 hole in an AR500 plate. I think he got 6 stiches' when the punch exploded.
