I don't plan on driving to work everday. I plan on taking the metro for sure! The building ill be working at is about 1 block from dupont circle, and they don't have their own parking lot or anything like that.Quote:

On top of the fact that i am moving out of my parents house for the first time, i will be spending a hefty chunk of change on a place and furniture and what not. Im keeping the car so maybe things will happen again later, but at this point in time...just hanging out with bolt-ons is my best option IMO.
I hear you man. Your Priorities are in the right places. Well when you get down here we'll have to meet up sometime. When is it you'll be moving?Quote:

Doing the engine swap this weekend.
Congrats on the new job! I think? :D
So with this new clearance will you get your own neuralizer? :cool:
I just knew I was going to get one with my clearance when the FBI fingerprinted me, did a psychiatric evaluation on me, and they interviewed my friends personally.
But still no neuralizer! LOL
Good luck bro :D

My cars nowhere near as clean as a picture makes it look Lol. It's just different which is why is stands out.Quote:

Sounds like your landing yourself a nice job. Congrats on that man.
And good luck with the swap.

Its a good step up from me...I currently work as a regular helpdesk analyst in PA. I am going from level 1 support to on-site level 2 for a federal client. I will be a contractor for a bit but have high hopes to get hired on! I really hope all goes well, if not ill find another job down in DC where the market is vastly better than where i currently reside.Quote:

Its a big step in the right directly for my career for sure! It added a lot of complication to my life though since im not quite done with school. I might have to transfer to another school just to finish my degree but o well, I feel like id be missing out on a good opportunity if i declined to position!Quote:

The swap shouldn't be to bad, i have a drop in ready swap sitting in my garage then i'm going to part out everything i have on the car currently! Selling and shipping everything will probably worse than the swap :giggle:

Yea this will be my 3rd built motor. The 1st 2 had complications for a number of reasons. But this one I'm sure will be 100% better.
I hear you, selling/shipping parts is a nightmare. Damn haggler's.

Totally agree, its a fast change but the right one. I only found out about 1.5 weeks ago and the original start date was this month! just wild how quick everything can change for sure.Quote:

Getting started Saturday morning
http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps0feaeb21.jpg
about 3 hours later
http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/a...psf08efeb9.jpg
http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/a...pse1f82b2a.jpg
Got the stock engine in sunday
http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/a...g?t=1381146171
The engine removal wasn't bad, getting out the fuel system, and all the other things like TC and gauges and stuff was the true time killer! Just have to put on the header/intake and fill it with fluid and it should be ready to start :fingerscrossed:
Nice work man.

What happened here??
I missed something
A little update. Got the car fired up last night, sounded good! a bit louder exhaust wise than the old build, but the engine is SOOOOOOOOO much quieter. The built engine had a deep deep drone to it also NO vibrations is heaven.
Got a bit more to finish up before it will be on the road again, Bump the coolant system, finish the intake install, put the bumper back on, put the new bumper liner thing in, change the fog light bulbs and toss the wheels on
Also the site is displaying very oddly on my work computer? just me or a site issue?
