well i spent a week in aruba from 9/6-9/13
but other then that ive been missing due to a recent explosion of my side-business. I don't know what happened but all of a sudden i've become way overloaded with sidejobs at my home shop, seriously right now i have 3 cars in the lot which will be finished tomorrow night and then at the same time i have 3 more getting dropped off tomorrow night (one is a rx8 for an s/c install). This past month i've made more net profit (after factoring my personal labor as $60/hr), then i make in almost 2 months at my job, best of all is I enjoy the sidejob things more then the maintenance crap i do all day, altho i have some regular "maintenance customers" as well, my phone has become a ringing nightmare. Not sure what prompted this, I have been circulating through the evo, rotary, 240, scion, and VW local car circles, but i didnt realize so many people were looking to upgrade their cars, especially right now. Been working 9 hours a day at my dayjob and then from 5:30-10/11pm every night i've been doing my sidework. I've actually even "hired" a friend of mine (he does some of the "monkey" work in return for me building his turbo setup on his 95 r2, and teaching him how to do it at the same time) without his help id be dying.
soooo i've been considering trying to "get" unemployment to help get me more time for my sidebusiness without being financially unstable and trying to turn it into my main business. Already started looking at some buildings nice 3-bay with a decent office and nice sized lot, comes with an alignment rack and "mobile" AWD dyno setup.
And in the midst of all this I've become pretty proficient in tuning as well, street and dyno-wise. My FD recently hit 433whp on my own tune without blowing, wanna add my meth injection before really cranking it tho.
So yea sorry for my lack of presence around here, I know you all miss me badly but I will be back soon once im back to one job.
how's everyone else doing, any big news ive missed?
