After the holidays…

Back from the holidays I see? Did you survive well with no mishaps, I hope so.

Nothing majorly new around here other than work. I have parted ways with LHV and Jetcharters. We are headed in different directions and the needs of the company and my own needs no longer match. This marks the beginning of me working on my own. I am going to try and survive by doing private contract work and building my own business as a developer/entrepreneur.

The holidays treated me well. Kelly got me a set of LED tail lights for my car, and JJ from e46 got me guage rings and side lights. now i just need to wash it and get those damn trim strips painted.

I cleaned the garage today, making room for the s13 and possibly stef’s motorcycle. I’m going to bring the s13 here to work on it in my spare time and also to finally get it out of daytona. maybe ill have it running this year. it all depends on how well the business goes and whatnot.

I have set a goal, i want to make $75k gross this year. with that i can pay off my car, and knock down my school loan debt significantly.

Kelly and I still want to move to Atlanta, but the probability of that within the next year is very unlikely, if at all even possible. She is stuck in that godforsaken teaching job and we dont have enough in savings to make the move. Plus, my mom will more than likely need me around this year more than ever. Lena is on her way out, as well as familly issues on her side yet again.

The animals are all fat and happy. Kitten is sitting here digging her nails into my leg. Stupid cats.

4ngiefest is well underway! We have launched an official 4ngiefest Forum [Link] and we will be launching the store soon. I hope we have an incredible turnout this year. I really want to see this takeoff. Theres nothing better than hanging with friends, seeing some beautiful cars, and helping a charity while were at it.

That’s all for now, have a great 2009!

not much happening…

just thought i’d update some. how’s everyone doing?

been working alot on some new geo sites with work, nothing special there. gettin into the swing of things for the holidays, and spending my weekend either under my car or working on 4ngiefest stuff. got the new site design done a few weeks ago, been chopping it every few nights, almost there. maybe will have it live for monday. decided on the merch for the fest, going to have hats, tshirts, some sort of glassware (etched mugs, shotglasses, or pint glasses), keychains, and possibly, a few polos. not sure.. gotta see on cost.

im trying to round stuff up on my car, still have tons to replace. the expansion tank i think has started to leak, as ive had to refill the level twice in the past few weeks. not good. i still need to do water pump, and now im getting an EML code on startup, will probably have to replace the exhaust and intake cam position sensors. i still need to get the windshield bottom cover replaced, and the coolant piping probably needs to be redone (for good measure). i did the fuel filter last weekend, seem to be getting some better MPG now, up to 28.clutch will probably need to be replaced soon, i think the throwout bearing is going. in doing so, ill have to do the flywheel too. so, a kit is inline. additionally, when i do the water pump, ill be adding underdrive pulleys from UUC.

i emailed ajay at dayas regarding painting my trim, he said he’d get back with a price on it. hope its not too much, i really wanna do that. heres a pic of what it could look like:

lets see, what else…

oh! i got some smoked front corners, those should be here in a few days. and kelly’s laptop finally died. the harddrive crapped out. click of doom. its in pieces on my desk. woooo. i also broke the boat in lisa’s pool recently. got some water on the electronics and fried em. gonne need to fix that soon. the boats are my only escape from the house after work :(

anyway, ill catch up later. gotta finish some stuff.
