so... i'm getting quite tired of peeps just bugging me for not being able to fit in my car (all of us at once) so i figure i'd do the responsible thing (no more hanging from the roll-bar, ms. u know who you are) and now i'm the proud owner of a '92 mx-3. it's pretty slow, but with my touch, it should be up-to-par pretty soon.
this will become my DD (daily driver) as jr's going to the shop next week for a full top end check up and FINALLY my turbo install.
Thanks to all who helped me with this great endeavor... my parents, my ex-, my 2nd parents, Wayne and ally (although i have to thank Belinda and her landlord too), the guys at the junkyard for all the parts i snagged outta your cars, Phill for the wheels/tires, and probably Jimmy at fuji-racing pretty soon... oh, and Thomas with giella performance as well. thanks for sponsoring me guys!
i'll keep yall posted on the progress of this and jr's life...
Peace!
oh, pics are up, not many, but enough to give yall's an idea.

this is a great video!!!

Yesterday, Nov. 2nd, as i was almost done at work, this lady came over to pick up her script, she was freaking out, and even more when my jr. tech tells her that the order never came in. 
HOLY SHIT! this lady went verserc on my tech, and as my sr. tech sees this, she tells me "you wanna be a sr. tech too, so there is your chance, show me what you can do"...and so i did.
i approached the lady and asked her what the problem was, and as she starts giving me an attitude, i tell her who i am, and what happened, she calmed down a little, but then she asks me, what i plan on doing, and i tell her "i'm gonna call every walgree's in the area and find you some medicine".   she smiled a little, and said, "ok, let's get to it".  
i called like a bunch of stores, and the only one that had it was north of us, so i tell her, if you give me 15 mins, i'll go and get you it.
i took off, and when i get to dale mabry, and i hauled ass (if you know me, you know i can't pass that up)  until i see my radar displaying "Ka5".   and 3 seconds later little flashing red and blue lights are chasing after me... :(
i got clocked at 76Mph on a 45 zone, i was screwed.
as the police officer aproaches me, she asks "do you know why i pulled you over?" (kind of a stupid ass question if you ask me) i tell her "becuz i was doing 75 on dale mabry?"  she looks at me and surprised  "wow, you aren't shy about it, are ya?"  and i tell her "listen, i dont mean to be rude, but i'm on an emergency, i work at a pharmacy, and i have a lady going through whitdrawal attacks, and when i ordered her medicine yesterday, my order never brought it, and now this lady is freaking out at my store, she already yelled at my jr. tech and started making a scene until i interevened, and i promised her i'd do whatever i could to get her medicine."  the cop looks at me and asks me where i work at, and for my documents.
she goes back to her car, and after like 10 mins comes back and asks me if i know that i'm 1 point away from loosing my license, to which i answer "yes, i do"  and she goes "and you still drive like a maniac through traffic, and speeding, and now you're gonna loose it".  to what i reply "listen, if you're gonna take my license, then do so, but let me finish this.  you know where i work, and where i live.  keep my license, and wait for me at the store, but i really need to go".  she looks at me and tells me, "follow me, don't think about not...how good are your brakes? and how well do you drive?  i know you can speed like hell, i've seen your record and i just saw you drive...." and i go, "i got performance brakes and i can drive pretty well" so she goes back to her car, turns on her lights and peels off, so i follow her.  this cop (officer) drove up to the other pharmacy, and helped me  cut through traffic, when we get there, there was a line in the drive through, so i pull my e-brake and just jump out of the car and run in. 
when i come out, she had called another cop, thinking i was running, but i jumped into my car and asked her "are we doig this or what?"  and i took off. 
both cops followed me until the parking lot of my store, which is where i knew they were gonna arrest me, so i just did what i had to.  ran inside, gave them the medicine, and then i came out.
now she was alone, and tells me "you got balls kid, first time i see someone try your little stunt...and actually pull it off.   but you better watch out, don't drive like that anymore".
and shakes my hand and drives away. i stood there for like a min or so, just mesmerized, until this old lady goes by and yells at me "you teenagers should be ashamed, i heard her telling that other cop she cloked you at 76! what's wrong with you?!" and walks away...i was like "what the...???"

anyways, i write this to thank those 2 officers (mostly the female) whom instead of arresting me, help me.    i guess now they can actually say that "to protect and serve" motto.
porps on the cops who don't give tickets!!!

hello everyone, those of you who care to read this.

first of all, thank you.

kidding

the people who know about it should be relieved that i'm finally gonna shut up about it,

i've been waiting for about 3 months now, and about a half week ago my friend called me and announced that my j-spec mazda mx-6 turbo engine had arrived. and two days ago i got a hold of my friend sam posa who is going to help me hook it up real nice.

the project consists of a bigger turbo, bigger down pipe, adjustable kyb gas struts and Eibach springs.

i'm also using my sponsors to get me some good and decent electronics like a set of dark-faced gauges for boost, oil pressure and temp, air/fuel ratio and the gauge pods to mount them on.   i'm also getting a state-of the art alarm system since my current vehicle got broken into right in front of my house, and that is NOT happening to my baby. 

the audio/video dept. is also covered, with instalation kits from monkey video and a dvd/cd player from blaupunkt, along with at least one 7-9" screen to watch movies while the officer reads over my record when i get pulled over.

well, that should enough for the day, i shall post some more laters.

 

over and out.

For everyone who's been around me and is wondering why i've been acting different...and cares enough to know...

Lately i've realized that the harder i try, the less i accomplish.  and the more i try to make another person happy, apparently, i end up hurting them more and more every time.  And the funny thing is that no matter how i am treated, how i feel, or what i want, i always sacrifice becuz i keep putting everyone else's needs ahead of mine.  i always say "i'll be ok, so long as they are doing fine, i can always manage"....  for what?  so that when i needed to be comforted and helped, everyone runs?  Does that make sense for me to continue opening my arms and helping everyone to end up getting kicked in the nuts simply becuz i can't fulfill whatever is needed of me? have you all thought that maybe sometimes i too need a hand?   maybe one day i wanna come home to find my friends waiting for me to take me someplace or someone waiting for me so we can just drive....no where???  

Apparently no one knows how i feel, nor what i do to relieve my stress...nor whether or not i'm happy.

And the worse part of it all is, that it's all my fault. 

Why?  becuz i always fucking smile and say "it will be ok, here, let me help you".         

So, now, that's all gonna change.  no more offering my help, nor sacrificing, nor giving shit up for you (all of you)   from now on, i will dedicate myself to working my ass off, learning, studying french, fixing my car, and if anyone cares enough to join without complains, then that person will get a little bit of me. i'm not gonna dedicate my life to make people happy.  i work my ass off, i help, i care, i try....   maybe, its time for you to show some love to little ol' me.

So, bottom line, if anyone wants to talk, if anyone wants to hang out, if anyone wants to be with me, if anyone wants anything,....ASK.

i'm not changing who i am becuz you all can't appreciate what you have.  no way.      i'm still going to help and do my best at everything i do, whether or not i have to, and if anyone needs my help and asks for it, i will be there.  but i'm not going ot offer anything nor postpone what i have planned to accomodate your needs.  ask and i'll see if i can help.

 

Well, last but not least, i wanna say i'm sorry if this blog hurts you in any level...whomever you might be....or if you read it and think i'm an ass, hey, you don't know the whole story, becuz if you did, you would understand.

 

You all know where to reach me....i'm always gonna be on my cell, at home, or at work.

Love you all, and i'm sorry.

ok, for those who know me, you should know that i can't leave my car alone and just enjoy it, and for those who didn't...well then i guess now you do.   unfortunately, the time has come for me to start making a decision on what to do next about my car.

my two choices are to either keep my mx-6 and fix it up real nice, or get a 93 miata and leave it alone.

so far, to the mx-6 i have put headers, exhaust, intake, magnecor ignition wires, original bbs wheels of a 91 convertible rx-7, rear disc conversion (from drum brakes to disc brakes) and kyb struts. along with my xplod head unit, 12" 1300w sub, and 6.5" medias...all xplod. also a little bit of neon, but those don't really count.

anyways, my next project is to either get an F2T j-spec engine (with the necessary BOV, turbo timer and boost controller) with a turbo tansmission along with a 50 shot of NOS, intercooler and eibach suspension for the mx-6 or just get a miata and leave it alone....

any comments or suggestions???

drop a line....or if you've done anything to an mx-6 yourself, let me know what you've done and where you got it.

As August draws nearer, the hours of my marriage keep on shrinking.The 1st part....For those of you who didn't even know i was married...we got married in Dec. 18 2004 - During the almost 2 year period, we've seen many things that could have destroyed us...right kat? -We had our little situation with my ex...(and for those of you who are reading...i did not cheat with her) -Then we had the o so many nights we coudln't see eachother because i was stuck in tampa without a way to get here simply because my car wouldn't make it...1st it was that POS beretta that almost dies on my way home, ya'll rem my saturns? i had 2 of them, one stolen (fucking peace of shit MarkD autosales on fletcher), one broken down, then i had that little tercel...that, for bein a shitty little car, it hauled ass, didn't it, pipe?afterwards i got my mazda, which i'm deciding on either fixing or getting a miata..but that's for another blog later. -Anyways, we also had that little Meghan situation that almost twore us appart, but coulnd't...right kat? - or the many times when i got home from work and woke youup...sorry about that. - i don't know...we've had so many fights, and we always managed to solve them.But lately, it seems that for one month we do good, we fight for 2. How is thatfair for either one of us?The thing i never would have thought is that the one thing that would set us appart usually unifies families....a child. - I can understand kat's wanting for a child, and i respect that, but i think anyonewho reads this and is willing to write a note about it can say the same thing.Comments are always welcome, one way or another. it'll be like a little toll.Anyways...back to the orinal story...we live with her parents, have a very limited financial stabilty and work hourly jobs at walmart and walgreens. -Would you have a kid in our situation or wait till you moved out and settled infor a few months to see if you could actually make it on your own??? -After countless conversations the only thing we can say we have in common is thatwe've both decided that what we want is more important than the whole relationship...i wanna bust my ass and work overtime to get ahead...she wants to work her 40 and come home to take care of the kids... -Now, I know i might sound like i'm materialistic, but i'm not...i'm not making money to spend in girls and liqour/gambling. i'm making money to put aside to either fix our vehicles or get a house. -Regardless of that...it's past the point of no return. we've said what we wanted, but can't seem to come to an agreement...right kat? you can't wait, and i can't risk it now. so it's all over.As for the second part, i'd like to apologize to the few peep that have been aroundme lately and i've acted like an ass to. i'll say names in a second...but 1st: I'M TERRIBLY SORRY. being under presure from my wifey and the studying of 2 yrs. worth of shit in 3 months is not an easy task...aside from working and fixing my car, my moms car, pipe's car...and soon kat's car. oh, and bobby'svery nice eclipse convertible....yeah, i have had no time to relax....but, that's still no excuse for:*yelling at my mom...sorry mom.*cursing my dad (he kinda started it...should left the breakers alone)*being rude to Raquel (not my ex-gf, my friend from hs)*being rude to Lisa...sorry lisa, didn't mean to be mean*saying the wrong shit to crystal....i should have dropped the subject and changedthe attitude when i had a chance, shouldn't i? now you won't even talk to meand let me apologize in person...*to pipe for coming over and try to part our ways....dude, we've been friends how long? and rem our promise "no girl will come between us" (in a non-gaykind of way...i think we both love women way too much)*to my inlaws for not taking care of the shit i've promised i would....*the girls at walgreens in Crystal river...for neglecting my gf (parata), and last but not least...to my wifey kathleen. - sorry for not being willing to give you the kid you want so much.not that i'm not capable, i just don't think it's time for us to have that kind of responsibilty....and like i said, love was never the issue, it's our unwillingness to compromise.Now i'm gonna go.if you read this and wanna drop a line, make a sugestion, or give some adviseor just to say you understand...go ahead.Now....it's back to tampa for me....well, not till august

A couple days ago i was driving around as two hondas drive by...they are exactly the same....just different colors, one louder than the other one....
i mean, when you find two cars that look alike it's actually cool looking, but not so much after you find out they didn't know eachother..they just bought the spoiler, headlights, corner lights and tail lights at wal-mart.   what the hell?
