Okay, 7/16 - 7/18/2008.


Its now time to update, even though i dont have any pics of the things i installed. Can't find the camera at the moment.. The two last things i installed were, an Apex'i VAFC2, and a solid motor mount. Also, my next thing to purchase and install will be a couple of racing seats, similar to the one in the picture. Then, i will be getting my exhaust resonator removed, and a straight pipe installed in place. There is a long story behind the VAFC....



The Story on the VAFC:

Well, here is what happened. I ordered the Apex'i V-AFC2 from someone on ImportAtlanta, about 5 weeks ago. I immediately paid him, through PayPal and I was thinking that everything was okay. He contacted me, telling me that the product was on its way. It should have been at my house, not even a week later, because the person i got it from is located in Tennessee, and it was going to be a quick transit time. One week passes.... Still nothing. Another week passes.... still nothing. So, i finally begin to talk to the guy again, just to check up to make sure he didnt take my money and run with it. Turns out, he didnt. He told me that the USPS sent the package back to him, three times. At this point, i am trying to figure out why in the world the USPS keeps sending it back to him.
Then, what i do is i continue to talk to him, and tell him to send the package to my local post office, and have them hold it at the office. Well, low and behold, i go out of town for a week. When i return, i am expecting a package to be held there at the Post office. Still nothing.... Keep in mind, at THIS point, it has been 3 weeks and the package should have come 3 DAYS after paying this guy.
So. I start talking to the guy again, telling him where to send the package, and im giving him different possible addresses, and all of that. He then starts to send me pictures of the package and the address. It turns out that, he wrote the address on the package WRONG. He put my name on the top line, the item name on the second line, and then the rest of the address on the bottom two lines. So, finally, I tell him how to write the address on the package, and to NOT include the item name on the outside of the package, and he sends it; it gets here 2 days later.

5 weeks.

Then, i come to partially install the VAFC in my car, and crank the car to test it. The screen shows up nothing. The thing is broken. In the mail, the part got broken. So, at this point, the VAFC2 is sitting in my car, hooked up to power and ground, with no screen action. USPS!
