budomove's KFA d15b8 mpfi swap log

Or I could go cut the switch and hand it to my mom myself. Anyway, I don't feel like messing with a bent frame. You gonna lower your hatchcrap ever?

[budomove]

I would, but bouncing ain't my game.

I was hurrying back and forth as a gopher for work yesterday, and on the highway went over some patches of uneven ground. At 70mph i felt like the car might just launch up off the road it is so light, and has such a small wheelbase. I can't imagine how it'd behave in such situations if I put your pogosticks on it.

[budomove]

good call, i wouldn't mess with a bent frame either.

Sometimes we have to suffer for beauty.

Just realized I have a cx crank I can use, just need to get it off. Will eliminate a/c but it doesn't work anyway. *shrug* Save me some dough I guess on buying the other engine though. Wish I could just go ahead and rip out the a/c.

[budomove]

I may actually dump the car because it does NOT have a/c. I need it if i get some sort of "respectable" job in nj (as opposed to moving to ny), since i've had to drive shirtless in order not to drench my clothes. I need a/c just in case it's unbearable, since my wimpy allergies won't allow me to open the windows much. It would be a sorry day, but that may be the only way i'll really keep it in the long run. I'll prolly keep it anyway, who am i kidding. I'd like to wait, and be able to keep the car at least til honda diesels or the next gen faux insight replacement come out.

Just put some 25" race slicks on the vx rims.

If you put tires on from a monster truck, all four tires would touch..it'd be like a steamroller.

Hmm. I need to do my swap. Wish I was a better accountant, can't even find my wallet.

Ninja edit: On a related note, I'm hoping to have the car running tomorrow so I can drive to work, but we'll see how involved I get. Prolly not, since I want it done well and it doesn't need to be going until thursday. Ah, having time to work on the car is magical.
