Another day in the life of..vDUB

So today was the first day back wit the vdub. Haven't worked on her for over a year now. Can't really drive it yet either cus its past registration. So with that I have to get it smogged, so in preparation for the smog test we bought some G2P Guaranteed to Pass fuel injection clean and fuel system cleaner. Hopefully it works. All I need to do now is actually finish the tank of gas in there already so that it can fully run through the system. And with my dad being the way he is, since it is past registration, he won't permit me to drive it. So how the heck am I going to be able to finish that tank of gas by monday? IDK. Anyways it also got a quick wash, thought I was going to be able to get some of the oxidation and rust off but didn't actually have time to get to it. So I'll save some of that for monday.

My friend Marlon actually told me today that he has an obd reader or whatever which I can plug into my jetta's computer and see what could be wrong with the car. Which is good cus right now the car "jerks" when it gets hot. The shop couldn't figure it out, porlly because they didn't drive it around long enough. So SHOP fail.

So far the plans for the jetta goes:

1. fix jerking/odo fix

2. exhaust system (borla)/wheel spacers/fogs

3. window tints/ xm radio install

4. paint/bumper and sides blackening (kiwi shoe dye)

5. coilovers/strut bars

6. projector headlight (make)

Also these are just some random shots I took today and yesterday of the car. And obviously the one for the fuel system cleaner. VROOOOOMMMMMM

Guess who's back!

Yup my project car is back.

Today seems like a

blogging/photo day. So its been a while since I've had the car and well now I need to get this thing up and running for sure. I really need a car of my own because my parent's cars have been falling apart left and right and now we have 2 fully operational cars. Great. Anyways these are just a few pictures I took. Another thing is that I have been getting into Lightroom. It's pretty cool and I've been getting the hang of things. So yeah FUN.

SJF where you at?!

Aww man, SJF is still down. What is life without SJF. HAhaha JK, but still where am I spending my time online. facebook? twitter? tumblr? gmail? hahaha idk but until its fixed i'll be ok. i just want to stay in the loop and missing out on SJF fora few days puts you behind in the threads. End up having 20-30 tabs on my safari. Whatever go catch the train. Check my tumblr about the train. Peace

3Gs

Oh da Sltz.. 3g s

Man. There's a lot of talk for this one. But I'll comment about it after work. I'll just leave you with the picture from Apple.com

Go!

Ok basically once again apple comes out with another iPhone. And as a proud iPhone owner I do want the next one. Yeah what are the differences. Well there is a lot. Basically OS3.0 for the iPhone is the next best thing. But all this talk of video and the new compass which also helps google maps and voice control only come on the 3gs. So basically if you want to use the iPhone 3.0 software to its fullest you need the new phone. Great. Well I've had the first two why not get this one? Well there is also talk about how even previous iPhone owners will not be able to purchase the new one at the starting price of $199 for the 16gb. Unless our 2year agreement is over we have to pay full price for the new phone @ $399(16gb) and $499(32gb) Pretty much that is the only thing stopping me. Would I sell my 3g? Maybe. SIKE I don't sell any of my stuff.

Edit later. Lunch time

staR llaM

It was cool. For a while, and then I got a flat. Ended up working a checkpoint the rest of the race. Next time I guess.

New Set-Up

Yes well I haven't blogged here in a while. Thought Tumblr was gna be cool. but for now it doesnt give me what I really want so I'm back here.

As for my new set up, as you may see from my Pic of the moment I got some different parts for my bike. Yes they aren't new and YES I didn't pay a ton of money for them. So I'm happy with what I have for now.

New Stuff:

New Rims I-daughters (similar may not be actual I-d)

New Feetbelts (so far I like them)

New Fork (off a Giant Bowery)

New Nitto RB021 Pursuit Bullhorns

New no name leather seat.(sort of comfortable)

That was my set up on tuesday. Last night I decided to put back my high riser set up, and did some barspins with the 700c, so basically now I don't need the 26" but I do have it so if I ever changed my mind again it will be there for me to use. So yes I barspin 700c's now without having to buy a MTB fork or BMX looking fork. I like the new set up the new ratio. So far it's a fun ratio to tarck with. Was able to wheelie and keo last night. As for the Feetbelts, I had them on wrong last week and on Tuesday I finally gave in to putting them on the proper way. (instructions were confusing) But they feel great, takes some getting used to especially putting them back on and getting out real quick, but other than that they are pretty much a good buy. Yes I bought the green and black ones, IDK why now my pedals look like they are barney or something. On their site they said they had Olive Green, and I've always like olive green so I decided on getting them, now that they are on my bike they look kind of weird. Whatever.

So right now that's my new set-up, as well as tumblr OH and I haven't posted in a while because I didn't have internet in my new apartment for the longest time so now I do have internet, and I am in my new apartment which I enjoy a lot.

Until next time, maybe I'll actually want to comment on my new apartment.
