Installed Infinity basslink in the wagon, ooohhhhh what a huge difference. Luckily the R was pre wired for a system so it was a breeze.

Thanks again Mikie for running to and fro for the connecters.

Blow off valve died today. :angry: So I started putting the IPD CBV back on but it got too dark. So tomorrow I got to put on the intake and upper pipe, wash the car and then drive to Helen for SoWo. <_< So much for my plans of having everything done today and just wake up tomorrow and drive.

...you still decline. tell them the first one is on you.

This is the 3rd or 4th time I've done work on their car (for free). They like giving me money for some reason. When I decline they insist. Then we get into one of those awkward circles where I keep declining and they keep insisting. Anyways, I think I'll just tell them to give me $100 and call it even. I had to drive to the dealer 25 minutes away TWO times today for parts (they didn't want to wait for me to order them online). That should cover gas, plus the 5 hours I spent working outside in the annoying humidity dripping with sweat.

Did you not read the part that said "they want to pay me for labor" :arob:

hey goon.

Did you read the part that said "... its a family friend" :arob:

Don't accept money and do it as a favor... geez.

I swear you can't read or listen.

:lol: Dave, Adamn, when you two are together in person, are you guys like this too? :lol:

Not usually. Dave removes the stick from his vagina when he goes out in public. But he loves shoving it deep in there when he posts online.
