Long time no speak, Update

Hey guys, I’ve been a little busy here with a new job, and I’ve been spending money on karting recently(indoor karting)…just wanted to let everyone know that my new place of employment will be shown on MTV tonight, more specifically on the Newlyweds show at 10pm, EST/PST.

Here is where my new job is St. Supéry Winery

Picture from my desk:

As an update, the car is approaching the 100k mark, it’s at 99k and change at the moment, might hit the 100k on the 4 year anniversary of purchasing the car, Superbowl Sunday. I’ve recently has a wheel bearing go bad…that ended up being the actual hub that had gone bad, thanks to Jeff652 for loaning me an entire knuckle so that I could drive home…waiting on the parts.

SPC camber kit…I ordered one of the first kits out, nice that you can adjust the camber and caster. At the moment I’m running around 1.2-1.3* positive caster, with ~1.6-1.7* camber, and so far on my daily commute of the mountain roads I’ve been fairly happy. It does take a little while and patience to set up the part, and it takes 120 ft/lbs to torque the bolt on the top of it, but other than that it’s a nice solid piece. I'll post up some pictures once I can find where they are.
