no one touches my car but me.  i don't trust anyone else turning wrenches on a vehicle that i've paid for.

I hear that a lot from people I don't trust to change their own oil.

Let me guess, swapping a transmission on that GTR?  lol.

Ive never been impressed with Ferraris product in general.  Yeah they look bad-ass, but if you ever have to drive one, its alot less of a car than you imagine. Decent in a straight line, but nothing that couldnt be achieved with some vitaras and a dirty D.  Even in the twisties, they give you the illusion your cornering faster than you really are because they have zero body roll.  Ferrari = compensating for a small dick.  Thats about it. 

Gt3 on the otherhand, that is a fantastic car you can drive everyday and flog at the track on the weekends. They seriously have no problems, maybe a rearmain seal once in a while, but no glaring weakspots. 

In truth, I honestly think that being happy in your job isnt just doing something you like, its fooling yourself into believing that you dont actually have to do that job, and that you could quit at anytime. Just ignore reality.


LoL that piticular GTR has already had one gear box @1500kms last year :noel:. We had to send it back to japan. Haha I remember watching a ferrari trying to do a powerskid at the track and hitting the wall. gotta love ferrari drivers .

I farted in the driver's seat of a Fauxbra yesterday.  Today I hook a fuel pressure gauge to a turbo EM1 that looks like Darth Vader done up in carbon fiber.  WHO KNOWS WHAT'S NEXT???

Fuck all that hard work.  Charge $60/hr doing what other people can't and work 15 hours a week.  Fuck the dumb shit.

Thats some smart thinking, and your smartenough to do it using other peoples shit,    harder to do when you have to pay the overhead on this idea. 


It spools late for the size of the snail and doesn't feel like it should, IMO.  As to whose fault that is, I can't say as I've not experienced it before nor do I know anything first hand about it's history.  I am the world's best problem solver, and I can fix it, and that's all that matters.   

Don't forget about your pimpass tech support  O0,   theres a reason that thing feels wrong and doesnt spool, whoever tuned it just doesn't get it.
