Yardwork is done! Damn, I really enjoy working outside. Planted a bunch of bulbs, so I hope they come up next spring.

Greg stopped by. He got a new toy; a motorcycle. Looks like fun.

I'm going to an Oktoberfest party tonight! My buddy is leaving for Germany on a paid move. Lucky bastid!

the car is DBW... the only thing I can figure out is the tune in relation to shift points and running into issues hitting fuel cut/over reving if the trans can't keep up. That and issues with down shifts and the car's attempt to get MPG and jumping to higher gears and causing lean conditions

That probably sounds more confusing than it is... but damn. Not something I'd want to do. Is there an ECU supplied with the turbo kit?

the kit comes with the Fcon iS.....

I got the car on Sunday.... it is a repairable so I have to get it fixed and inspected. Hoping to have it done in a month. I may be getting another pickup (I am a farmer). If I do, I will be scrapping the project and selling the honda once it is repaired..... hopefully for a profit That said, the car is really growing on me depsite my wife referring to it as an "Easter Egg". I may just decide I 'need' to keep it and throw a turbo on it

That's a pretty nice G.



When you get a Porter Cable, all necessary pads, and practice a bunch, let me know.

I need some swirl marks removed.

Sorry Aaron and Andrew. You both called me today and I did not have a chance to get back to you. I had a long day at work and just got word that they accepted the offer we put in on the house. I will not be making it for HIN but I will be back in a month or so to get the rest of my stuff. And next year I will come up for some events.
