yep, got stopped at a DUI checkpoint. God i love this game. what do you guys think? will it pass? LOL.
guess the effen cops liked my intake cause thats what sent me to ref! LOL. they didnt even write down my info correctly. maybe i should contest it. what do you think?
usually they look for what appears to be a FPR and get you that way. the funny thing is that i was out looking for a flask and found a DUI checkpoint! LOL. the irony!
Teddy- what a salesman. that compressor is just a gateway to more expensive stuff that i cant afford. and for all you folks out there that think im made of money, just FYI- houses arent cheap and neither is the upkeep; especially with 1.5 kids. LOL.
you know, its actually kinda funny going to the smog ref. especially when it says, "curbside test" LMFAO!!!!!
oh, i wont be able to make it out tonight. i cut the sh*t out of my finger making dinner last night so i cant drive very well and the Miata has barely any tire left. LOL. im not making excuses or anything; i do want to go but... i spent all my money on tires, dog food, and some new pants.
this year is going to be really busy for us over here. were getting a new driveway put in with a slab that runs into the backyard so i can eventually have a carport/garage all to myself. and now that weve added another Farhat to the world, we will be needing a new water heater to facilitate another body. weve been rockin the 1980's 40 gallon heater that barely keeps up with us so... time to upgrade. i may even bend over and epoxy coat the garage floor. we'll see. should have done that a long time ago.
hey, i forgot to mention, i hope everyone had a great Christmas/whatever you have. Happy New Year's to you all and ill see you guys soon.
man it does sound like a busy year for you! I still need to epoxy coat my garage also.Will you be coming out with us next sunday to winter warm ups in sacramento?

Well, since I now got the 40R to spool at 5500rpms or so the 35r is no longer needed. I figure, I would bring it up as much as possible since its sitting here in a box screaming to be used.
Its good that you can maintain a balance with the car, house, wife and now kids. Gotta have your hobby. I would have kept the car in the garage on a holiday weekend. But, thats one of those "should have" scenarios. At least you can now have the turbo off in 1hour! It also gives you an excuse to redo small things that you wish you did before hand. Wiring, vacume lines, cleaning. All those things are free or cheap which is the best part!
At least its pretty much done. Weren't you due for a smog anyways Farhat?
yeah, gotta pay to play i guess. this is something we all expect to happen at some point in time. could have been worse; they could have towed it! have you ever seen those guys tow a car? BAD NEWS! they just grab it any ol way and down the road they go. Ted is right; gives me an oppertunity to clean it all up so it doesnt lookall gaggled. Thanks for all the support. ill let you all know how Hondata does. i think you all remember what happened last time! LOL.
ill be ready for warmups if the car passses. if not, we'd have to tow it. and i dont have a trailer so... rent one? id need a truck with a hitch. rent one? LOLOL
i havent gotten anything in the mail yet from the courts so... im sitting on the ticket for now. funny thing is that the cop said to take care of it in 30 days but... can you say "bench warrant?" LOL.
so, im going to go wihout removing the rail and return; im going to put some black loom over the steel braid and put my stock airbox over the FPR. it will work as long as they dont have me take my intake manifold cover off. i dont remember them doing that last time.
got my ticket today. I had to call twice to find out where it was and what it was going to be. check this out.... you ready? NO REFEREE! LOL. instead, they fined me $381.00. ouch but not as bad as going to the ref. so... see you guys at the next meeting? LOL. and BTW, Lynde and I had the baby last Thursday. AIDEN JAMES 7lbs, 20 inches born January 22nd at 1328hrs. i havent been sleeping as good as i was but... its worth it.

Sounds like good news jon.. congrats on the baby!!
I know its quite an old thread. First of all, congrats on your baby. He will be quite grown up by now. I posted on this thread as my friend asked me similar thing and I wasnt aware of it. He thought I might be aware as my brother is a Los Angeles DUI lawyer but truly I have no idea.
