Well...got that damned 'Electornic Sig' the next nite after signing up for it...and tore into the FASFA app...made it to question #73 and then it turned into what my parents finanacial status was wantin to know everything from last years wages and taxes to what all they own and how much they've got in the bank...soo I wonder why the hell I get stuck w/ fillin this damn thing out...they should have sent it to the 'rents for them to do cause well...any question on the damn thing that pertains to me they can answer...go fuckin figgure...sad part is I only got to pt2 of 9...
oh well fuck it...I what really set me off about the whole ordeal is that I'm NOT a dependant...and if I become a deadbeat on my loan then it shouldn't effect my parents lives...they should take my ass to court and sue me...should fuck up my life...not the bearers of mine...jackard government...
at any rate...a bud came buy that found a day to go hang between his 2 jobs, building a car, and his baby that hes got every other week...so we went and raised some hell...managed to talk to 3 people about goin racing this spring/summer...some how one guys car picked up 3 tenths over the winter and seeing as how no tracks are open...thats just amazing! <dripping w/ scarcasm> and funny part was he didn't even drive the car to a 15.0 last year but a 15.3 so he says and it was a friend of his that drove the car to a 15.0...yes...ignorant ricedom at its finest...but to continue the non-sense from the same fellow...I get to hear about this green eclipse that is in my home town...I hear its a GSX (AWD turbo 5spd) so it should be pretty snappy stock...and around a 13.9 w/ some boost thrown to it...tho it seems the owner claims its a 10 sec car (seems to be alot of those around these days) but now its an 11 sec car (keep in mind he bought it used)...soo I guess some 'mechanic' here in town put a stage 3 clutch in the car...took it for a drive and says its prolly a 12sec car (I have never seen the mech. at the track so how would he know)...and he claims that it looks like the car used to run 10's...then I hear that its got the stock motor in it...and stuff isn't done to the bottom end?...no...BS on that one...also got told that he runs 30-40psi of boost and that it pushes the dipstick up out of the tube...well...on that note a motor that has a lot of blow-by past the rings will push the dip stick outta the tube...and thats a STOCK motor...and the 30-40 psi...well...7sec 6cyl PURE RACE CARS don't even run 40psi...but mid 30's at the most...so I call BS on that one too...and knowing the cars weekness I plan to exploit it this year if he ever heads to the track or wants to talk shit...this is going to be the year I shut some douche bags up...get this shit done before I leave...
I talked to a friend of mine that rides a bike...he's talkin about takin it to the drags...he doesn't think he'll run 12's w/ it...but hey...I think he can...so if he can crack off a mid 12-13.0's I'm gonna set up a grude race w/ him...I think it'd be fun to race a bike...
also met up w/ my drag buddy at his work and shot the shit w/ him...guess he's been lookin to see me again...his car is down and could be down for the count...so no racing for him till I don't know when...prolly after I already leave...but he'll be at the track w/ his bud and woman...and a friend of his that he works w/ is gonna run up there w/ us this year...
grabbed some beer and followed some people back to thier pad to play some GT4...got a nice lil drag session on it...played it w/ the whole house...then started showin'em how it was done clickin off some times that the couldn't match till I showed'em what was up...while everyone but me and my drag bud slept...(I sleep when the sun is up) we worked over the settings on the car we were runnin and piked up 7 tenths and didn't add any more power to the car...so for a car that started at 12.0's which the girl was runnin...I chopped it to an 11.2 later on...then we tuned it down to a 10.502...there is no gettin a 10.49 w/o somemore tire under the car or a bigger turbo...not exactly sure what the car will be capeable of when its maxxed but I would say a low 9/high 8...good thing there is a game like that...got my drag racing fix and now I'm ready to go back to work on the car...its worse then sexual angst...
now back to tracing down why there is no power to the solinoid...I think a few wires are gonna be making a quick exit of the car and going to clean things up a bit and simplify them...get the thing to fire again and start from there...got a lot of stuff to address still...
