Fall Pictures & Summer Re-cap
Good Job and Kudos on the engine work, way to take the bull by the horns! Its refreshing to see a younger person with good mechanical skills! 
My son in law is 20 and he cant even check the air in his tires, he thinks imports w/coffee cans hanging on the back is cool... 
his idea of an oil change is going to wal-mart 
PS-Pic #4 is da bomb, a real calendar shot!

How did you get stopped and checked for the emissions stuff? Did they just suspect it and checked? Man that SUCKS!
I didnt even think about mentioning my run in with the law down in Daytona on my "re-cap" on the other board! I wish I had video of that!!! Between Cecilia and myself we have paid over $800 in fines this year! lol

Keep your eyes open: if you see something that looks like a 'ride program' near a local car hangout area, turn around ASAP. They are looking for any missing (or tampered with) emissions devices.
This praticular one was in Ottawa, on Maryvale road.
From another forum I post on:
"I finally got the chance to go out on Friday night and do a datalog with it in hopes to finish up my tune. I was on my way to a local hang-out spot. I came up to what looked like a 'ride program' (for drunk drivers). No problem, or so I thought. Until I saw two Ricers with their hoods up on the side of the road. By then it was too late to pull a U-turn.
I had a wideband cable out the window, cables-galore for HP tuners and the LM2, and an open laptop with VE tables etc. The police demanded I park behind the civic. The Ministry of the Environment had people out who tore car apart (figureatively). $365 for no EGR, and $110 for no front license plate. I got off easier than I should have.
If I'm caught with any emissions devices missing, I lose my license plates."

What the **** is the Ministry of the Environment? Probably something to do to keep pollution and **** down out there? Never heard of that ****. Either way car looks good and awesome thread man! The H/C swap is fun ain't it!? I love doing stuff like that. Just taking your time and checking everything over is all that matters and it's a snap (somewhat). Good luck with everything and shoot; let me know when you're coming down to the Chi. I'll come make it out to the party too! lol

Oh Lord I thought everybody knew about that! LOL I was down there for the Turkey Rod Run (over 5000 cars entered in the show...and probably twice that many just there!) Anyway the cruising at night is way better than the show...they are alchol injected "race cars" running up and down the strip! For about 5 miles the streets are lined with THOUSANDS of people wanting you to do burnouts...and I am a weak person! SO at one point I was at a red light, nobody beside me and people cheering! Long story short I passed a cop going into 3rd with the car sideways and the back tires on fire! Then when I saw him coming I turned off so my buddy could throw a beer bottle out. When he stopped me I thought he would get onto me and tell me not to do it anymore....OH NO NO NO!!!! He wrote me a ticket of Laying Drag, Public Endangerment, Wreckless Driving and Attempting to Elude (because I turned off!) And told me if I didnt go put the car up he was taking me to jail. Those charges alone were like 16 points (6 month suspension I think!) and I dont know how much money. LUCKILY I know some people at the DAs office here that knows some people there and I got the charges reduced to Carless Driving...2pts and $189! But I seriously thought I was FUCKED! lol The best part was I have a ticket that in the notes section says "Laying Drag on International Blvd...Tire Spin with SMOKE!!!"
Here is what the road in front of our condo looked like (yeah, we had FUN!):

You should frame that ticket. I'm planning on doing it with mine.
Might as well make it artwork for the $500 I spent.
The other funny thing is Cecilia got a ticket coming to see me back in Feb in her TA. We traded her Tahoe in and bought her a new RED Mustang GT in ate May. She got a ticket on the way home from the dealership with it...and 2 more since (and one warning!) It has not been a good year for us ticket wise!
Thank god I have heads/cam and all that stuff done already.. So I'm not touchin' a damn thing I appreciate it though. Some people tell me to change what's in there.. but it's not worth it imo.
Now... time to go outside and beat the living **** outta my wheelwell.
