Song of the week

Ok. so i forget how much i love this song untill i hear it. and i keep forgeting who sings it, or the name of the song, so i never ended up downloading it. But! Im doing that as i type. haha. Its just a great song. For me its one of those songs that really captures me, and i feel one with the song. wow that sounded cheezy. oh well!!1

Interesting Day

K. so i had a verry interesting day today. Slow start, cuz thats how i roll when i have nothing to do. lol. then i wanted to do a few things on my xB. But it was cold outsite. so i came up with the wonderfull idea of trying to get my car into my garage. and if anyone has seen my drive way they would know its pretty much impossible. Well after about 15 min and a few 2x4's i made it in the garage. lol. On the to do list today was, raise the car for winter (thanks parents for that great "idea"), fix my fogged headlight, ziptie a crack in the front bumper, throw my power steering belt back on, and...well thats about it. I wanted to take a sticker off but never got to it. loool!

Sooo. I walked outside, moved a matress that was in the garage from yesterday (i got a new one and we dont have a place for the old one) anyway. i moved the box springs out of my way. i go to put them back one is fine the other seems fine, i walk away to do other things and here this horrible "SLAM" noise. before i see anything i just sigh "shit" lol, i turn around and there is a box spring laying on my car. wonderfull. I pick it up and there's a nice dent in my hood, and its complimented by a nice crack in my paint. WONDERFULLL!!!! So here are some pics of the damage. its not that bad, and luckily i can hide it with the bra. but it still pisses me off.

Dirty Lil Whore!

My xB that is. hahaha! So it snowed, rained, then stopped and left the roads horribly filthy, covered in dirt, mud, rocks, and other random stuff that dosent get along with cars. lol. and this is the aftermath of driving a few days on those fun roads. haha.

Filthy box 008
Filthy box 010

Headlight foggin from all the rain. (I need to reseal it. lol)

Filthy box 001

And this is why low cars dont get along with deep puddles. But hey. gives me an excuse to bust out my back up lip, and fix this one with stickers and zipties. LOL!

Some 2 Wheel Love

BMX is something i've always enjoyed doing, and learning. And a few months back (more then a few) i was just starting to really get into it, when i decided my bike was too heavy, (which it was) So i wanted a new bike. well being that I was broke, there was no way i could afford what i wanted. So i was poking around fer a new frame and some other parts when i found a 08 Eastearn Dragon frame fer 20 bucks, and it was local. so i grabbed that and started swaping parts from my old redline to the new frame. then i realized i had cheap 1 piece cranks and the fancy new eastern was built for 3 peice. Soo, now the bike is sitting im my garage watiting untill i can afford some nice cranks, a sproket, brake setup, and prolly a new head set. Anyway, i was bored and found some dope vids that really inspired me to get my bike back on the streets.

SnowCal WTF?

Sooo. Yesterday, One min it was raining, then i look outside and BAM snow. i was like wtf? haha. Anyway. it was kinda random and lasted longer then i thought. we ended up with like 1-2 inches of snow. then it got sunny and melted. The weather people said they were expecting 1-3 FEET of snow as low as 3500ft tomorrow too! which is exactally where we are. soo. that would be INSANE! Lol. here are some pics i snapped yesterday. and if anything happens tomorrow, i'll snap even more! LOL!

Pic of the day

Ok. now most people (including me) think 15's look kinda small on a s13. but there are a few out there that pull off the look sooo damn well, and this one is no exception. It just has such a mean, tough look. i love it.

This awesome 350. I really wanna do this color combo on my next set of wheels. it looks soo mean on the right car.

awesome

More S13 Randomess

Lol. yes. i did more work on my S13 yesterday and today. Just normal routine maintenance, oil and filter, fuel filter, plugs, coolent (since it was running off watter. lol) and some other things. I also picked up a few gaskets to mount the stock exhaust back on the car. but i didnt get enough to actually slap it on. so im still pissing off the neighbors. hahaha. oh well :D And omg this car is soo much more spirited then my xB. WAY more power, and revs a lot higher. I was doin like 30 in first and i was only at 6k. lol. The xB tops out in first at like 28. hahaha. It was a lot of fun tho. and it was kinda raining. so maybe spun the tires once or twice. I really need to weld the diff tho. lol. tried to slide around a lil turn, and pretty much failed. the car wouldnt break loose. lol. so that will be the next real mod. lol. anway. here are some pics.

Photobucket

So i also took the bunjee cord off that was holdin the trunk closed, because after my first drive i realized it wasnt doing such a great job. lmao. ZIPTIEZ FTW! Hahaha

Photobucket

and i cleaned up the engine bay, and the entire car, after all the work was done.

Photobucket

I slapped the hood back on, and now the car is sitting outside in the rain. lol. lets hope it dosent leak anywhere. lmao.

IT LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVESSS!!!

LMAO! U read right. it lives! What lives? My S13! FInally! Its been a long haul of replacing parts, buying stuff with no real result. And its done! At least for now. lol. imma keep modding and that always means u'll run into a few problems here and there. Anyway. The mechanic showed up about an hour late (all good since i had nothing planed today) haha. So he gets here, asks a few questions, has me turn it over. finds out that what i told him was true (it wasnt getting spark) he then finds out the ignitor isnt getting power. which i thought it was (yea, idk how to use a volt meter, and i didnt have a test light. haha) so he was looking around at stuff. come to find out i had 2 of the plugs switched. one for the intake temp sensor, and one for the ignitor. FACEPALM! so he flips em, i turn it over. POP! the car makes a sound! So now im excited. we try to turn it over again, and then find a fuel leek in one of the injectors. which is really lame to me, cuz i fixed that a while ago and replaced all the seals, and o-rings. Well i didnt know u were supposed to put grease on them so u didnt pinch the o-ring. and thats exactally what i did. lol. so later that day i run to town, pick up 4 new o-rings, a maf adapter fer my Injen intake, and some random stuff. so i hurry home. get the maf and intake all situated. replace the o-ring on the one leaking injector. I turn the car on and it starts leaking out of a different injector *sigh* lol. so i replace that o-ring (it was in 2 peices when i took it out. lol) throw it in, bolt everything up. turn the key...click, click. battery's dead. *sigh* so i go steal my moms battery out of her jeep, which is huge and bearly fit in the 240. but i make it fit, hook it all up. turn the key. click. ugh. the terminals arnt the same size so it was shorting out. i tighten em up again. click. same thing. i go mess with them a lil. turn the key and BAM! It starts right away! I was like ZOMG!!!!!! hahahahahahaha. It was loud as hell and im sorry i didnt record it (i will tomorrow) it was nuts tho, since it dosent have an exhaust at the moment, and it was in my shed. wow. lol. anyway. i pull it out of the shed. take it for a really really short spin. park it in my driveway. it stalls, cuse it ran out of gas. lol. so i went and got gas, and imma work on it a lot more tomorrow and see where i go. im just soo happy it runs now! Woooo!!! anyway. here are some pics.

Faaaaiiiillll

So i had a mechanic friend schedualed to show up at 9am today to help out with the s13, and maybe figure out why its not getting spark. long story short, i sit around for like 2 hours. He dosent show up, and now im late for a job i got yesterday. lmao. but he had a good reason and he was on his way when i called and said i have to go. lol. anyway. he's gunna come back this friday. so hopefully we can figure it out and do work!

Ive always liked Three Days Grace yet I dont really know much about Apocalyptica, but put them together, and u've got a damn good song. haha. I love the use of the different string instruments, it really gives a different sound. Anyway, listen and enjoy this great song, and im sure it'll end up stuck in ur head like it does me. LOL
