    I reached out to touch her, and before my eyes she crumbled into dust.

    Did I miss something important?

    Attention motorcycle riders
    While I'm sure that driving down the middle of windy mountain roads is fantastic fun, It's also a very good way to slam your skull into the front fender of my car on a tight corner. Now I don't care if you kill yourself doing something incredibly stupid, but I do mind if you fuck up my car in the process. I should also note that this extends to bicyclists as well, ESPECIALLY the assholes riding 3 abreast who refuse to move over.

    Sharing the road goes both ways. I'm very careful to stay on my side of the road, especially on narrow mountain roads. It could kill you to not do the same.

    Well that only took 6 hours.
    Drop in replacement my ass... I had to do a fair bit of sanding to make it fit. I was also able to finally quash that obnoxious ground loop almost completely. It cant be heard over the engine and transmission anyways. It's nice having a good speaker up front. All of a sudden I hear all sorts of new things in my music. Now all thats left is to get the door speakers in and clean up the wires.

    Saturday with Doc Wong.
    Went to Doc Wong's auto clinic on Saturday. Had a lesson on seating position and steering inputs, then went on a drive down some incredibly windy roads at breakneck speed. It was a lot of fun, and I learned a few things too.


    There's another mod that I have neglected to post up here. I finally installed the puddle lights.

    Point four ohms
    resistance between Ren's head unit and and the negative battery terminal. This should be point one. No wonder I'm getting noise coming from the head unit.

    Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
    See it. It is one of the best films ever made.

    Also, Mr Magorium looks kind of like my work's previous CEO.

    Influenza
    So last thursday night I came down with the flu. On friday It fully kicked in, with a frog in my throat and severe aching pain in my lower back, and wrists, and chills and sweats. Left work early, went home and took several hot baths over friday and saturday.

    My 100.5 degree fever broke last night, so from now on, whenever i get a fever I'm going to plant myself in a hot bath and burn the invaders up.

    The fullsized one looks way cooler
    But people always get a lump of shit in their panties whenever I post large images so you'll have to find the full sized version yourself. It shouldn't be to hard.

    An awesome knob, An Aux input, and a Reposistioned LC7
    Yes, I now have a totally stealth knob for my stereo that will allow me to turn up the awesome any time I want. You will also be able to connect your iPod, and I've moved the LC7 to where it should be. Not that you can tell.

    Houston, we have a problem.
    The stock alternator for the RX-8 produces a max output of 100 amps at 12 volts.

    The peak draw from my new amplifier is 100 amps at 12 volts.

    Now, I don't think I'll be anywhere near my peak draw most of the time, but this still means I need an upgraded alternator to properly power the amp. I refuse to use a capacitor.

    Car clubs
    So today after work I hung out with several people from the RX-8 forum I go to www.rx8club.com if you care to stalk me.

    I didn't flip my shit. I didn't have trouble when we went to sushi boat, and I was able to make a couple of the girls there laugh a few times.

    Maybe I really am getting more social... scary thought.
