There's something in us as men that pushes us through to go an make that bread. I work in the oil patch and know this first hand. But I'm 30 now I have a bad knee and back, I've learned that you have to fully recover before you get back to work. Hope all is well Sasha and that you get a full and speedy recovery.

Completely agree. Being Military, no one wants to say they're too hurt to work. Even when they are given profiles, they exceed their limits continue to injure themselves. It doesn't help that profiles have a negative connotation, but that paper should not be used as an indicator for performance. Hell, being in this $hit hole as a Contractor is so much more mentally draining than it was in uniform. A lot of the Military stereotype contractors as not worth their paycheck. But every time I go back to my can, I'm mentally drained from banging my head on their piece of $hit network that is beyond comprehension in the sheer magnitude of it's terribleness. It looks like a hack job from the "Geek Squad".

For me it is not that, as I have great day job that pays well, and is more mental than physical.

It has to do with sticking to the schedule, and delivering the product on time, or when I said I would. I have developed a reputation over the last few years in this (Z) community, and I don't like to take a chance on loosing it. I am lucky enough to have so many (all) customers that are understanding. With close to 40 turbo kits sold out there, there isn't a single complaint that I have heard of, either directly or indirectly. That may be due to my dedication to communication, and delivery of a product that I 100% stand behind.


And now, back to work .

I held one for you a while back, when you said that you will send deposit...but I never heard back, so it is gone. The last kit is spoken for at the moment.

Not too bad, thanks. Not much improvement, and the doctor said (after calling me yesterday morning) that this may be something that I have to deal with for a month or so....it sucks, but as long as it does get better in the end, I will be happy.

I am still able to get some work done, and hope to start the IC piping some time next week. All the exhaust pipes should be done by Sunday night of this week. Down pipes are all done, the Y-sections are all done, and the recirc tubes are all done. The manifolds are about 75% done, as I had to come up with a different welding procedure for these due to such tight tolerances. The metal shrinks after welding/cooling, so it has to be done in stages. No big deal...just more work. The new method works, and works very well. Fitment in the jig is great and within 1mm of spec.


So, I can still work, just not at the pace that I am used to and still hope to start packing things up mid next month.

Made some progress today:



I am still not making progress as far as getting better, but I am pushing through it. Still need to weld the V-band flanges on the down pipes, and some more welding on the the manifolds, but things are coming together.

I will start working on the IC pipes tomorrow.
