T.Trinh Thunder!

Yesterday was a damn bust. I spent all day taking off the stupid drive shaft. More work was done today. Pictures below.


I hate removing the shifter... There's this one lock ring that is a cvnt to remove. Those that have done this before know what I'm talking about.


Couldnt find my socket to take off the high pressure line. Found it down the basement. Power steering check.




Fuel lines check.


Brake vac line check.

Papa Trinh mean muggin x2. LOL!

Getting this beast on the engine stand tomorrow. Going to Paul's place tonight. I'll snap some pics of the legendary Yu garage for you guys to see.

Good morning,









Sincerely,
Toan

Did work as soon as I woke up. Spent all fucking day trying to get the damn drive-shaft off. Finally got it off and the fucking sun goes down. Man you think I'd be a little quicker with it after having done it a few hundred fucking times. Lame sauce. Oh well.

Gonna save tomorrow for the engine pull. I want to get some pictures of it in the day.
Sucks pulling a motor by yourself.

Paul comes home tomorrow so i might get an extra set of hands to help. Looking forward to helping him clean up his garage as gay as that sounds. I love that place. I'll be sure to get some pictures of everything up in this shiznit.

Sending the last batch of photos out tomorrow.

Engine plucking is in full order. Just the driveshaft downpipe heater core hoses and tranny cross-member needs to be done.

My oil reeks of fuel and coolant is clean as a whistle.
Maybe it's more than a HG? Maybe FPR is bad and dumping way too much fuel into the pistons? Either that or an injector seal is shit. Thoughts?

Did a compression test and numbers were all over the place. You're doing it wrong! Gonna pull the motor, run compression check again... fuck my life. It's all in good fun though. Experience is the best teacher I'd say.

Photographed the penthouse at the Mandarin Boston on Boylston Ave. Fuckin millionaire ballin, son.

This was the view I was greeted with...



AJ hit me up and had me take some shots for out of state prospective buyers. Last time I worked for him we were over at the Folio Loft's penthouse suite. I thought that was amazing until we walked through the door of the pad I shot yesterday. God damn.

Boston back bay reminds me of the end scene from Wes Anderson's Hotel Chevalier. Where they are both standing on the Hotel Balcony looking out at Paris.



"Whatever happens in the end, I don't want to lose you as my friend."
"I promise, I will never be your friend no matter what, ever.."
"If we fuck I'm gonna feel like shit tomorrow."
"That's okay with me"

"Wanna see my view of Paris?"

Ahh so well done.

Doing it slow and doing it right.







Going 5 lug on the s13 and upgrading to the s14 subframe as well.
Gonna stick to what I said and leave the s14 unmolested.

This is not your run of the mill Honda Civic.
This is not your 2010 graduation gift for graduating.
This is not your brother's shag wagon Astro Van or your sister's SL320.
This most certainly is not your Daddy's Benz or your mommy's Lexus.
This is not 39mpg.

This is 240sx love, unprecedented style, gushing vast amounts of sex appeal.

Do the damn thing.

Swung by Best Buy to pick this label maker package up. Nothing more unprofessional than naked CDs - gotta change that with some snazzy CD labels and DVD case sleeves.

Brutus:
"I have not slept.
Between the acting of a dreadful thing
And the first motion, all the interim is
Like a phantasma or a hideous dream
The genius and the mortal instruments
Are then in council, and the state of man,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection."
