My garage, as some of you know, is usually extremely neat, clean, organized and houses the fit. Not the past couple weeks:

At one point today there were 4 of them in my driveway and none of them could move under their own power due to varies parts being removed, replaced, or swapped. Here's one of the sedan trio:

I won't be out again this Friday. Gotta finish up some last minute things for my swap.

When do you get to drive again?
Hopefully the car will be on the road before the Dec. 3rd meet. Just gotta get the ECU to Scotty and buy a bunch of fluids. ARP bolts came in, wheel spacers are on the way, and the new wheels will have the tires mounted first of next week. Head is already back from the machine shop and is ready for assembly.
the ecu is already at scotty's. D needs the money to go pay him and pick it up. the head needs to be re-assembled and then installed on the motor and dropped in by sunday of this weekend- i highly doubt thats gonna happen. its a tedious process that cant be rushed.
if its not runing by sunday the latest its not going to the dec 3 meet. u need to get it to an emissions station and then tagged. i wouldnt get my hopes up if i were u....
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Guess what I get to do for the next few months?
I'll be undergoing a string of tests because apparently there is a relatively high probability that I have Narcolepsy due to genetics.
Robert, have any comments or information for me?
I get paid tomorrow and can pay for everything that is left. I had no idea he was already dropping it off. D hasn't returned my messages nor mentioned being able to do the swap this weekend. I am free Sunday and can do it. Emissions and tag isn't an issue.
Narcolepsy can be a very dangerous condition if you have it and it's not treated. No getting rid of it but it is controllable. Are you having issues with sleeping at random times?
I never really paid attention to it, but as of the last 6 months or so I haven't noticed anything. Maybe some fluctuations in energy levels throughout the day, but nothing that seemed to alarm me. According to my uncle and cousin, who have been researching and seeing doctors themselves, My sleep and dream patterns correlate with those of narcolepsy and some of the physical/mental symptoms also.
Who knows though? Maybe I'll get it checked out. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.
Have your sleep patterns changed or do you find yourself tired during the day?

u can re-assemble the head/ motor/drop it in in one day? thats pushing it. even still you gotta make sure D is free that day. if hes got plans you've got hellova task.
i advise taking your time so as to limit the possibility of mistakes. if its not done for the 3rd it'll be ok.
Yes, I did just make a pixel car for the parts car...

Ok well since this flagrant aggression is being directed toward me (once again) and I don't even post in this thread. I guess I will start by laying a little foundation for what I'm about to say. "Friends don't screw friends". So with that being said, if you so choose to call someone a friend that means you also have to be considerate of the other person in question. So at the beginning of this swap I told you that I do things a certain way because I'm very tedious. You said "ok that's cool. I want you to act like this is your project. I'm just supplying the funds." I replied "are you sure?" You replied "YES". I told you that since you wanted to learn, I wouldn't charge you BUT I will not work on it at all if you are not here. You agreed. So back to being "considerate", you choose to wait until the last second (whenever YOU had time) to call me and say "HEY I'm coming over today to take things apart". EVERYONE has a life, so of course I was busy. If I don't know anything in advance, I can't schedule my day accordingly. Because I do work on cars after I get off work and before I go to the gym. So alot of procrastination later, we disassemble the engine to find out whats wrong and go from there on how to set or game plan. I laid it out for you on a silver platter, step by step on what needed to be done. Then don't hear from you for a week or so. The next time I hear from you is because I sent you a text asking when were you going to come over and work on the motor? We play phone tag for a day or so (again because I have a life) with you asking me questions that I've already given you the answer to on numerous occasions. Your reason for asking me again is because "MATT said..........etc". You taking advice from a so-called B-series connoisseur that can't even put an LSvtec together correctly. Who I might add also put together an H22 for one of your buddies' and couldn't get that right. Till this day that H22 still does NOT run. So trying my best to exercise patience, I lay the plan out for you AGAIN and then.......... another disappearing act. After some more procrastination passes by we FINALLY send the cylinder head off to be cleaned. A couple of days after that you ask me AGAIN what needs to be done next. I repeat that we need to have everything ready to go so when we do the swap we don't have anything to keep us from starting the car and you riding off into the sunset. So the next thing we need to do is send the ECU off so that's squared away, you need to bring the header you want to use over to my house to see if it will work, and give me the last $20 for the parts I ordered for you. You said I'll bring you the money this afternoon(11/18/11). After that I contacted Scotty, setup a time with him and HIS schedule to drop the ecu off (yet another persons time to be considerate of). Then after you gave me the money for the ecu I would drive an hour to mainstream to drop it off then an hour back. Come Saturday or Sunday make the same 2hr drive AGAIN in the pursuit to help a "friend" get his swap finished. At least that was the plan. That did not happen because you did not show up friday night and I did not hear from you until MONDAY morning. So when I did hear from you, you don't say sorry for not getting with you friday, instead you say "parts are ordered, what else do I need to get?" First off I'm saying to myself ERRR WTF!? IS HE TALKING ABOUT? I ask you what parts? You say "gonna get a chip kit have it put in and do the swap".......... All I could say was BAD BUSINESS. Due to you being COMLPLETELY inconsiderate of everyone elses time that we are taking out of our lives to help YOU. You ask me "why?" I honestly laughed to myself because you just wouldn't understand that the world DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND BOBBY. So after that I washed my hands of the entire situation. And of course as routine has it I don't hear from you for another 3-4days. I'm not one for posting my business online like this but I'M BEYOND frustrated with your blatant disregard for my time and everyone elses. Your lack of attention to detail or retention to information that's been given to you on more than 1 occasion. And you inability to focus, maintain organization. I told you from the beginning that I'm a very meticulous person and it's hard for some people to work with me because I only do things my way. So far I've been successful in all of my endeavors into the automotive field, otherwise you wouldn't have asked me to take on this project for you. So with that being said lets review my schedule here online so you can have a copy of when I MIGHT have time to do anything. Now I am a man of my word, if you do so choose I will complete assembly of the engine the swap but after that nothing else. This bridge has been burnt to a crisp numerous times over.
For your reference:
12am-7:30am= SLEEP
8am-5:30/6pm= Work
6pm-7:45pm= Free time/ Personal time/ Side work time/ etc
8pm-10pm= Workout at the gym
10:15pm-12am= Eat, bathe, breathe, then repeat.
This schedule is good monday through friday. My weekend hours are as follows:
Saturday= personal time (unless otherwise arranged 3-4 days in advance)
Sunday = personal time again (unless otherwise arranged 3-4 days advance)
After what I just said you might be angry, slightly upset, pissed off, or just don't give a f**k. Either way I'd greatly appreciate you communicating your problem to me directly. You have my number. Call me or text me to let me know if you still want me to do this swap. If not, I can bring the cylinder head home from work Monday and you can have your buddy Matt assemble the engine, swap it in, and find an ecu for you. Because I will be keeping the ecu I GAVE you if I'm not doing the swap. I will be eagerly waiting on your call.
Sooo... Can I schedule you for sunday to come over and help me get this motor together or do I not fall in that 3-4 day window? Ahhh fuck it. I'll just call you sunday morning and ask you why your nat here on my schedule doing my motor build/swap. That cool with you? lol
Danny: parts car has STi wing and stock exhaust.
It will look different soon tho- well it'll have different wheels. They need to be swapped with the wagon's wheels and those need to be on the wagon.
I apologize for misspelling a couple of things here and there but the hint of blame towards me in combination with the lack of appreciation and consideration has been frustrating. Other "regulars" to this thread can vouch that I usually go above and beyond the cause to help a friend and this is just a disrespectful slap in my face to get online and bash what's been done or the lack there of when I honestly don't have any control over when anything actually gets done.
Now all it needs is danny driving it home:)
we can work ut a deal?
