Exams

Well turkey break is over so its time for exams which means fuck all, really, I dun goof'd all this semester up. Here's the good noose, however. My CRX made the 1600 mile round trip to Brohio and back home but I got no pictures of anything cool because I get down like that.

While I was there I managed to snag 12 pistons and rods, a downpipe, and some other random stuff that will also make it to my build because why not. I looked at hot broads, drank cheap beer, watched some great movies, and only used three full tanks of gas to get there and back. It wasn't a huge success but hey life can't always be so smooth.

Anyways the long awaited rebirth of my Supra shall come soon as it has sucked a million horse dicks not having that giant noise machine to slide around and scare old ladies. I mean seriously that car was fun as balls to drive and I can't wait to have it back. Chopping the springs down this week, as well, because I've always wanted to drive a bouncy castle.

That was about the peak of my break and as we all know, for every up, there is a down, and a great down to my life was as I got back into town around 3:30am on Saturday, my Uncle Donnie passed away. He was such a huge impact on my childhood and I seriously hope I could be half the uncle he was. I love him and I miss him very much and I have decided to dedicate the Supra to him and re-name it "The Don" in his memory. My uncle was a very serious but caring person and I'm going to try my best to incorporate that into this build. Rest in peace Dominic, you were the best uncle anybody could ever ask for.

November brain?

OK, so my friend is a tit for hyping me on "getting me a beetle" for like a month now but now he wants it after I got it home. Jew story bro. On top of that I need one piston and rod for the Supra which is rarer than a Bentley in a trailer park. However my great friends in Ohio have two full sets of six as well as a 3" downpipe for me when I see them over thanksgiving, so if I can hold off until the new year, I could quite possibly turbo this car and still of spent less than $2k on it.

So, good and bad I guess. Gives me even more time in the miserable cold to sort out the engine bay before anything actually goes in it (I.E. replace clutch master cylinder). I did manage to plumb some of the engine bay as well as stick on the last of the trim I'd been dragging ass on putting back on.

Tore down the engine some more (got the crank out). Need to get the allen sockets from my friend so I can take the head off and throw new pistons in it. Also need a new front crank seal as mine is a tad chewed up from something. Anyway that's about all I have to rant about. Happy Sunday.

Greener Grass

Okay guys I've been putting off posting here because I still haven't done a damn thing to the Supra worth mentioning since I put the 7M-GE in it, HOWEVER a challenger has appeared!!


1973 Super Beetle! $Free.99!

Needs an ass of work but it will be a pretty sweet car once it's done.

Anyway the engine for the Supra should be fully assembled ready to go by Sunday and running by next weekend, I expect to blow all the spare rubber I have off of it by the following Monday.

Okay, I lied, I did paint it:


That's all though.
