yay.

in regards to my hijack: got another pair (I now have 3 pairs of civic calipers and 3 pairs of integra caclipers) of used civic calipers, replaced the bad one and car is on the road again. it could just be me, but i feel it locks up the left front a lot earlier and even pulls to that direction (that's the one i didn't replace). meh...

Hey - better late than never! These are my pics from Jack's brake saga. Yeah, I'm the melted Milky-Way eater. I think I probably got a few folks thinking I was a bit odd with all the camera and picture taking and all that what not... oh well. Enjoy


These two are of the SVX that Rex sold to a couple of Abercrombie Boys from Pittsburgh.... they were, well, they were driving a Suzuki Esteem. Tell you much?

I had to crop this one higher than the hood of the car because Jack's hair got in the way. Take from that what you will.

This one's obligatory (my car, it's broke [those are Dave fingers, btw).

Rex cooked us up a nice BBQ. Thanks dude!

... and Rex gets the award for most confusing burnout of the year (look close).

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
