Well, I'm not gonna work at Oreilly's anytime soon so I went down the road for 10 seconds and got my old job back. I need money. It's also gonna be a about a week or 2 till I get the tune-up parts. Man they are expensive. My brother gets some kinda dealer to dealer discount since he works a Mercedes so he can get the stuff from the Honda dealer cheaper but even then it's expensive. Oh well. Next week I'll be workin again and I'll get paid the friday after that and then it's parts time.

Well I can't afford paint right now. But, who knows, my brother has gotten his friend at one of the O'Reilly's to ask the manager to pull out my app so I'm goin up there today after a shave to talk to him. I may be an employee there soon so I can finally be able to have money again AND get a discount. Next week, my car is going to have it's oil changed and maybe all this other work done in a Mercedes Benz dealer. So umm yeah, my brother works at Mercedes Benz so we are just gonna wait until the place closes at 5:30 to work on it and his 4Runner. They apparently let their employees use the li

well the since the hatch gettin painted is outta the question, it's time for repairs and maintenance. Here's the list: Distributor Cap and Rotor Spark Plugs and Spark Plug Wires PCV Valve Front Brake Rotors and Pads It needs a lot of other stuff too, but this crap is priority. I need to get the tranny straightened out too but it can a wait a little. If the motor don't run right then there ain't a point in the tranny being in perfect shape. Also, as important as it is to go, it's more important to stop so brake work needs to be done. I think I'm goin back to my original plan to just prime the h

My latest. Was gettin kinda tired of red so i switched to a blue theme. Techy's Desktop with Suigintou from Rozen Maiden and with the start menu up Start Menu Up I'm quite enjoying this theme. Even the picture it comes with is nice but I like Suigintou better. She's a different character from the same series that my last one was from. *I'm diggin that life force desktop Michael.

well of course something happened. Now I'm gonna hafta spend a load on some engine and brake parts. I'm having idle issues and the motor needs a tune up. Plus my brakes aren't doin very good. I also need an alignment and something else. I'm really wishin now I could find someone with an older 92-95 hatch with a B16 if they'd want to trade but like hell that'll happen. Oh well, pretty much by next week or the week after I'll be working again so i can afford some stuff. Damn.

Well, a typical Honda-Tech Response. It's either your VSS our your Gauge Cluster. VSS is the speed sensor by the way. That's a question asked quite often on H-T and so one of these 2 things are just about always the problem. On my old car it was the cluster so I replaced it. Problem solved.
-
wow that sucks. Was this your Ford or GMC? (you have a Ford too right? I remember you mentioning something about one) My Honda was kinda acting up yesterday but it wasn't keeping it from moving. Just small throttle issue. I'm bout to go drive it again to see if it will do it again.
-
Just messaged the guy on Honda-Tech. The replacement hatch is gettin painted this weekend. FINALLY!!!! I hope nothing happens that will change this.
-
Holy crap on a stick, talk about diggin up an OLD thread. Heck this is from before I joined. Funny joke too
-
YEAH!!!!! I just took my hatch for a night time joyride and found out the back lights on my new cluster are amber. SWEET!!!! They are stock clear lights so the gauges just light up white but mine light up amber. Awesome!!!
-
Check it out. New gauge cluster. I won't be able to get good pics until my parents get back on Sunday. They have the camera. I had to use my V3 Razr to take the pics. Here's the old one: Here's a much older picture but higher quality And here it is. The new cluster and no more extremely inaccurate drag tach. Man that drag tach was wrong. It showed me hittin the rev limiter at 7500-7600 RPMs. The redline is 8000. I put this new cluster in and I was able to get it to 8200 and not hit the limiter so that other tach was way off. I had both of them going at once and the biggest difference I saw

Well dual cards is beneficial mostly in gaming but the GeForce 8 series is a whole generation ahead of the Radeon X1950. Until you gonna have more than 2 monitors, I suggest a single 8800GTS 512 or 8800GTX 640. I have dual 256MB GeForce 7600GT CO's myself running in SLI but I disable SLI when I'm not gaming and run triple monitors.
-
UPDATE!!!! Finally. I sold the motor and transmission from my old coupe so i now have money. REPAIR TIME!!! Well actually the first thing I'll do will be tomorrow (or well today I guess since it's past 2AM here) is get a new gauge cluster for my car. I'm sick of the giant ugly drag tach in it. I'll be getting a cluster form a 96-00 EX Manual. It'll have a stock tach in it and I can replace the the plastic pieces on the sides of the wind shield that don't have holes in them. YAY!!! Then afterwards, I'm gonna find out how much changin the differential will cost. Luckily, my mechanic is givin me

Tell me about it. I have 6 in my bedroom alone. 9 total in the house. 5 fully functional, 1 functional when i return it's HDD, 1 ANCIENT IBM from the 80's non-functional (bad HDD), 1 fried eMachine (seriously non-functional), and an old (bout 1997 old I think) Compaq that's missin a few parts but would function fine if it had them (I think it's missing a HDD and CD-ROM). I also have a fried Socket A mobo layin around somewhere. So yeah, lotsa computers. I also have 2 car computers. I have the P2T running my B16 in my hatchback and the P28 from my old car is sittin in the back seat Ya know I

HAHA!!! Dude that is awesome.

ok so, your mobo does not have SLI but you still want 2 cards. Why? Multi-Monitor setup? And for that matter does it have 16X 2 PCI-E Slots? Does the board support crossfire? I personally am not a fan of ATI and would much rather have nVidia cards. If you you are going for straight up power, just get a single 8800GTX or if you have the cash get an 8800 Ultra. Ok just looked up your board and it does have 2 16X PCI-E slots and supports Crossfire but still, a single 8800 should outperform Crossfired Radeon 1950's. I'd go for just a single 8800GTS 512 or GTX 640.

Just got done listening to the audio alog with watching the video of D.Gray-Man episode 36 and am about to listen to the audio on Hayate no Gotoku! episode 12.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! That is awesome. While I was reading this I was thinkin along those lines.

Only concert I've ever been too was Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime 2006 Tour Nashville in the Ryman Auditorium. They played Operation Mindcrime and Operation Mindcrime II in their entirety (concept albums) with a stage show. It was awesome but me and my brother had kinda sucky seats. We're ordering them earlier this year. Teikou Yousei - Shijun no Zankoku then Sasaki Yuuko - Sajou no Yume then Oshima Hiroyuki feat. Katakiri Rekka - why, or why not I've got my bedtime playlist still up. These are my slower more soothing songs.

Gave my dad his presents. Stephen King's newest book and the Soundtrack to the first Pirates of the Caribbean. I also gave him a card that my mom picked out cause I forgot I added my own little touch. My name is Bryan but I signed the card Brain cause my dad likes to call me Brain amongst many other names. Me and him got real big into Scrubs so for 2 days he would call me random girls' names. Thank god he quit that quick. Still his favorite nickname for me is Brain........... So I call him Pinky.

Hey Shanenin, we have the same desk. We've even both taped up the Keyboard tray. Yeah I'm sure when the next electric bill comes, my dad is gonna kill me. I'm trying to shut this thing down at night more often. For about the last 8 months I've been leavin the computer on at night most of time for downloads. I'm totally diggin the bigger monitors. The manager of my old job just gave me the Viewsonic yesterday. His parents were gettin rid of it cause it didn't work right. Turns out it just had a bent pin on the VGA connector. I fixed it and it worked perfect. I really need a bigger desk for them

UPGRADE!!!!! So now my dad has even more reason to call me Captain Kirk. I ditched my 17" Compaq 7550 and 17" Radius PrecisionView17. I'm now rockin a 19" Dell M991 and 19" Viewsonic Optiquest Q95. Oh man is the Viewsonic better than that decrepit old Radius. The image was so screwed up on the Radius. Any way here is the new setup. Due to the shape of the monitors, I had to move the speakers. Luckily the have holes on the back for mounting so I mounted them to the front of the desk.
