Movie night and...


David, Travis and I went to see the Avengers tonight after work. Great movie, really well done with a nice bit of modern humor. I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately afterwards I had to deal with a flat tire. I nursed it home and pulled the tire to find a HUGE hole in the inside side wall and the surface of the tire. While driving it home I did hear what sounded like a piece of metal hit up inside of the wheel well. I can only assume it was whatever made that hole. Welp time for new tires I guess.

S2k and Evo work

Put a new radiator in the S today. It is aftermarket and cheaper than the stock replacement but way more efficient.

I also installed new throttle body seals in the Evo. It wasn't as easy as it sounds but I got it done. Went to the Henkel's after for a boost leak test and all was good, finally. My Virtual Dyno numbers after 5 pulls were disappointing but the car felt great and didn't throw any false knock!

S2K back to normal!



Finally got some tires on the works! At the alignment shop now.

***UPDATE***


At Pete's Alignment. Apparently the camber and toe was horrible (thanks firestoe and/or free service tire). Now she it is all good. I super HIGHLY recommend Pete's on Central Ave. Car drives straight and true as wished,

New window!


Old

New

Safelite couldn't do the replacement at the house so I had to come to them. They are super nice there but failed to mention one small thing. That after the 2-3 hours of waiting time that it would be an additional hour of wait time before it could be driven. But the nice lady, Donna, at the front desk knocked 50 bucks off the total which was really nice.

So I'm pacing outside and a man that earlier asked me if I'd like a better place it sit (had my computer in my lap) and if I'd like a drink comes up to me and asks if I'd like a ride to somewhere for lunch. He was heading to Turkey Creek. I had been there since 8:30am and it was 15 after 12. I said no thanks but I really appreciated it. He asked me about the car some and I started talking to him about the company. He ended up showing me around, the training area, the warehouse. It's just as you would picture it. A huge warehouse with aisles and aisles of windows floor to ceiling. Mary's car has a crack and I told him I'd probably be back to replace it. He said well, "We are doing this training seminar and I'll give you a huge discount if we can use her car." I said well sure that'd be great! He also mentioned they used the S with the class to demonstrate how to install a window so one of the better window installers in the region did the job. So I'm just waiting for a call with a price and time. Thought that was pretty cool.

All better

Joe Neubert deliveries.

They actually brought the S to us! The bumper, fender and light were to damaged to fix so they were replaced. The front bumper needed to be replaced, bad, even before the hit. It looked horrible from 10 years of life, straps, rips, dents and scratches all over it.

Now to get the Works back on it and have the seats refinished and it'll be golden.

S2000 Smack

Mary spent the night at Alicia's house last night and Richard, Alicia's boyfriend accidentally backed into the S when leaving for work in the morning. He was very nice about it, and was actually worried it would effect our relationship, silly Richard. Mary took it to Joe Neuberts for an estimate today.

He got the bumper and fender.

My fingers are crossed we get the bumper replaced, need a new one anyways.

Bad bad tires.


Shame on me for letting Mary drive the S with bad tires! At least I was in it when this one went flat.

Here's what she looks like now. The 2 front stockers will be added this weekend. It's going to roll on the stocks for a while. I have to get some new tires on the Evo first.

The lip is back!



About 3 months ago the day before vacation. I destroyed my carbon fiber lip. A bolt came out and I drug it for quite a while. Well Michael, Mary's brother, fixed it all up for me. Today is my first day with it back on. Man I missed it!

Windshield Crack



I was just cruising on the interstate yesterday and my radio dies. So I messed around with it but nothing. The all of a sudden the awesome sound of something hitting the windshield startles me. I look over to see the crack pictured above and look forward automatically assuming it was the semi tow truck in front of me. Well to tell the truth there was a truck right beside him and a car on the other side in the fast line (3 lanes, I was in the center). So there is no telling who it came from and what is actually was. I wrote down the name of the company and number of the tow truck that I assumed was the culprit and drove straight to my insurance office. They said that it was pretty much a waste a time to call because they will probably deny it or say I can't prove it. The insurance lady gave me a few glass repairers numbers. I called one, $266 + tax to replace plus she confirmed the truck company would not pay. Currently I'm working a few angles to see if I can get a good deal. So new windshield coming soon.

Edit: Michael and Bird came over and took care of the radio. It's actually louder now!

Awesome photoshop job


Someone on s2ki.com did this and I thought it was worth remembering. Isn't that awesome?

Radio Update





























It's all in. Michael did a great job! Only thing is the iPhone doesn't work like I was told. All iPods work but the phone. Using the USB connection works, but I have to use the HU to navigate my music which I don't like. After searching and asking apparently my mission is impossible for now. I can still listen to my music and it sounds AMAZING but I will still be in search for a perfect HU.

The parts are in!















Everything is in on time! It all goes in tomorrow! I'm amazed how nicely the box fits.
The DCI coming by USPS said online it was unsuccessfully delivered. I was home all day and didn't receive a notice, so I called and was able to pick it up.

Ordered the system!!



Got an headunit, amp and sub enclosure on the way. Got the speakers at Circuit City on Saturday. Also got a DCI, which allows me to maintain my dash remote controls. Mary's brothers friend is hooking me up with a sub.

more to come...
