( no use of arm and things like that) another was wrapped around an area near or round the heart..... so the doctor couldn't touch it...... he's fighting a losing battle..... a battle in which he's fought hard for 16 years now... and now it seems it has gotten the best of him....,,, he is going to be under go chemo therapy ...... but since there's so many of them..... doctors have said...... the chemo will just buy him a little more time to live......

this is a very tragic and sad event that seems to be unraveling for all of us here..... so if you could.... please say a prayer and if you go to church..... please ask your pastor to say a prayer for my Cousin Joey "Gypsea Joe" ..... thank you all.

nismo- sorry i did not see this post earlier on. my thoughts are with your cousin and family. i am so sorry to hear.

Hi Mr.kenchan

kenchan · 01-11-2013, 05:40 PM

hi mr.gale!

quite an impressive project you got going there with the pods and such.

gurneyeagle · 01-11-2013, 05:47 PM

Good day all!

Hell week went out like a screaming b1tch with a 12:15 am phone call from the home office in Australia over the wording of a quarterly stock market (Australian) release. Drama, drama, drama that kept me up until 2:00 am.

Went and picked-up my rims this morning (more on that later), then headed into the office. Spent four hours with auditors working on numerous issues.

BTW - it was my day off!

Back to the rims - they are beautiful. The KAV paint (40th Z) looks awesome with the Gun Metallic. It's dark and about to rain, so pictures will need to wait until next weekend.

The drama continued with the botched brake work today. Final damage is four cross-threaded studs, and 13 rounded-off lug nuts! FML.

After two trips to the dealer today to have rounded-off lug nuts removed (don't ask), I've replaced all the lug nuts and am scheduled to have all the studs replaced next Saturday.

I'm going back to a stock set-up with no spacers. Don't want to deal with them anymore. One thing that was interesting when I took off my rims and put on the replacement rims from a friend - the spacers were seized onto the rims and the lug nuts wouldn't seat against the rim because of the extended studs. If I had a flat with one of my rear tires, the lugs wouldn't have seated on the studs for the 20mm spacers.

As it was, I just tightened the bad lugs until the stud popped through the top of the lug. I realize there are workarounds for this, but I'm done with spacers.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Keep me laughing guys and out of the garage with the car running!
