Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

OH MY LAWD a 97+ 2 door 5 speed and its black
shits built for racing

id love to check it out, but i barely have enough time for myself nowadays

Yeah, That's why I want it (and it's a '98).

I am between that and a '99 that I posted elsewhere that needs some work but I may be able to pick it up for next to nothing. Looks like I may be calling about that one in RI this wkend. Only issue with the other one i was looking at is that it is a 4 dr and the 2 drs are just so much more awesome.

And this would be my DD which means if I get one of the 2 I will be finding a way to keep it stock height yet have a much higher spring rate... aka it will be my race rig :roflmao:

Edit: Oh yeah... 2 dr with the rear vent windows too :thumbup:

My classes got canceled today. Granted I only have one but that's still awesome. And my neighborhood still hasn't seen a snowplow which is even more awesome.

According to FedEx my parts have arrived :yelclap:

I now know EXACTLY what I am doing after work, aside from looking at a house and finishing getting the MJ registered.

EDIT: and according to the USPS my 91 FSM is in the state now :yelclap::yelclap:

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Officially looking at at least one house this wkend. Maybe 2. Maybe 4 or 5. Depends which ones I can get access to. Apparently two of them are pretty new (I remember when they were building the houses on that road so they cant be more than 15 years old). apparently one house is going for $200k and one for like $150k. $150k is a bit more than I wanted to pay BUT they are very new so they should be in great shape no work needed. VERY tempting. And most houses on that road (dirt road) are pretty nice too, not small shacks, decent size houses.

The down side is that at least one of them is RIGHT next to the train. Wouldn't really bother me since I am starting to wake up around when the trains start to run past hte area and I am falling asleep shortly before the last train passes through. Only reason it would suck is for resale value.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Anyone have any suggestions on a career change? I have been wrenching for the last 5 years, and this is the 2nd time in just over a year I have been let go for lack of work coming into the shop.

This time around, I don't owe anything on my tools, and I am thinking of a career change. looking around, every job out there seems to want you to work for nothing, or they require a ton (10+) of experience.

(I know I am asking in the wrong place, and I dont expect my problems solved on naxja I just figured I would throw it out there on the off chance someone new of a job opening)

Jeepman401 - I know it's boring as hell, but I hear unionized tollbooth operators for masspike make 30-40 an hour.

Also, that house is amazing compared to the other one I have an accepted offer on, and I'm putting an offer on it as soon as my new loan paperwork comes in the mail...

... and I'm never buying Parts Plus (sold as Anchor by rockauto) motor mounts again. The motor mounts were made in Korea and to say the molding is rough is an understatement. The transmission mounts were made in India and are far, far worse.
