You and me both! Today I Got all new valver cover gaskets, and Oil Pan Gasket set, and some other random things :shock:
But the thing should be nice running. I am glad some people on here like it. makes me blush :oops:

To answer your question, I wish I was... I am Enlisted, Thats what I work on Everyday :woot: Pilots break em, I fix em and keep em running. :P

Hopefully with in a year, Ill be in school to be a commissioned Officer... if I decide to stay and serve.

Also the line on the Oil sandwich adapter.... that goes to head is that a pressure line or return line?

Cuz I am running a oil sandwich adapter right now for the turbo set up. and am wondring can I use two line off the sandwich or how would I go about this...

This is super important to me so please help me out. I dont wanna run into any oil starvation issues and blow something I dont need to blow :?

Well doin what I do in the military isnt like everything else in the army... Aviation is super small... so everyone knows every one basicly.. It also doesnt function like the rest of the army in my openion, we get called out on it by other perople... they hate us, Infantry HATES us... so do engineers and pretty much everyone eles. just cuz our job is what it is... we work hand in hand with officers, so alot of the time there really isnt a dicpline like everywhere else... it sucks sometimes but best thing ever!

If you have money to get a engineering degree go for it man! thats where the money is at, but make sure you will like doin it.
Now being a engineer in the army, or military in general, stay away from that!
Tanks... eh... work on a helicopter... Tracked vheicles are dime a dozen! helicopters is where its at :woot:
Unless your a Helicopter pilot, or maintaier, your a grunt lol.

Also, Being in the service they move your family for you, so youll take the wifey if you want. it has its ups and downs. PM me if you want more info on it...
But its a great honor you would wanna put on a uniform!
All the people that do are heros! and the ones that have passed away are true heros!

- Mon May 21, 2012 6:20 pm #305669 Well I have decided I am gonna build the car this weekend, I have everything just sitting here taking up room,
So looks like Ill have to Not race at Import Face Off...
Ill slap it to gether, Vtec wont be wired so Hopefully no big issues arise from that.... car will hopefully be on the Dyno on the 9th. cuz 8th Ill be at work...

Freaking I have to spend $400 for a dyno tune. and maybe like 80 for them to wire up vtec and all that fun stuff. I just dont wanna deal with messing up the wiring and breaking something.

Just those injectors keep slipping my grasp. So we will see if E85 happens or no... I know of 1 E85 gas station around so I dont wanna be stranded... Ugh. :x

- Mon May 28, 2012 3:20 am #306440 So Hope everyone is having a good memorial day weekend!

I didnt get to do my swap this weekend :( Due to it being Memorial day, the shop I was gonna do the work at was closed so I had no access to alot of tools, and what now :(

But I did end up painting my Hood and Hatch Gloss Black, Didnt wanna do CF. cuz I just dont have 1300 buck laying aroud.

and I painted my crappy passenger side red fender, red... also repainted the driver side fender, only problem is they are way reder then the rest of the car... car is pink, fenders are Flash Red By Crystler. Gonna repaint the whole car that color cuz it is SICK! :P

We did it at like 1am in a garage lots of sanding, priming, wetsanding and painting went down.. pretty sure I lost a few brain cells... but it turned out GREAT!
Cant wait to have the whole car match in color. :thumb:

Also turns out I am a horrible sander... takes me forever to sand anything.. painting I am also bad at... and I am only good on buffing and polishing :(
But it all turned out great I will have to post up pics! soon!

ALso thinking of Painting my Vtec Valver color Yellow... to kinda match the Gold Rims? Maybe?
