Mike, like I said over the phone you don't have to go full sequential. You can just run the crank trigger and do semi sequential fuel, and forget all this mess. Use the ms3x upgrade to get extra functions.
I don't run a cam sensor, I run semisequential fuel and spark.
Yeah but it's like this:
The ms3x is like a super computer. It'd be a shame to go through the upgrade and have to rewire the injectors just to use it for part of what it can do. I'm gonna get the car running and focus on getting the new/old sheetmetal parts worked, repainted and installed.
Summertime will be here sure enough, and I'll need/want to do something else to the car. At that time I'll look at tearing the dash apart and adding the colossus under my dash.
In other news, and speaking of Summer, my plans for this years vacation(s) got changed.
The wife wins these huge vacations as a result of her hard work. Her company is one of those places that still pays its employees very well, as opposed to ones like mine where the pay plan changes every year to make it harder to earn what you did the year before. All while the company that I work for makes more money as a result that very same year.
So, when and if she wins one of these vacations, I got no problem going wherever that may take us. In this years case, that would be the Dominican Republic. We go sometime in May. They are all inclusive, very exclusive, and her company picks up the tab for everything including the personal income taxes that would come as a result of a bonus like this one.
The fact that I'm not really a fan of the beach, or third world countries aside....I'm going. That's HER vacation.
MY vacation was supposed to come in October. Me and the Monster would drive to the Mississippi gulf coast like I did last year, and spend 3-4 days hanging around car guys, looking at all of the cool sht, and showing off the Monster. She comes along, but it's for me, she's not into all of the car stuff, so she makes due with the beach, the casino, the food,...and maybe my company.
It was so freakin cool last year,..it was a definite must to redo this year.
But then I had to go out to dinner with her last week. Going out to dinner with her usually involves having a few drinks. Not enough to get stupid or anything, just enough to loosen my resistance to things she might say....Things like "Let's do it."
No,....not "that" it.
The "it" I now have to do, is give up my car guy vacation in favor of a European one. ( imagine btchin about not wanting to go to Italy)
We get these vacation offers in our email. This particular offer includes RT airfare, car rental, and hotels for 8 nights in Rome, Tuscany, and Venice, for 1100.00 ea...................How can you not say yes to this? At least that's the way my 3 drink in the bag, sitting next to my hottie wife with her big eyes, glowing like a Coleman lantern turned to full wick, smiling like a Cheshire Cat, self saw it.
The actual problem isn't going there,...I've always wanted to be able to self drive through the middle sector of Italy and see this place...The problem is that it will force a forfeit of the Monster vacation. The Italian trip is in early November,....the Monster trip would've been in Early October. Time off is the problem. It's either spent in Italy, or in Mississippi.
I get two weeks paid vacation. I think the Dominican thing is 4 days, You'd think in a company where you only get paid if you're there, that they wouldn't care if you take 3-4 extra days unpaid off during the year,..but the Manager I have to work with acts like that would cause the store to have to close up during that time.
Just for shts n grins, I entered my vacay request at work....it wont even let me put the whole Italy vacation request in with the Dominican thing in as well....says I'm 16 hours over. Never mind the 16 additional hours I'm wanting in October...Kate says to tell them to take it or leave it....
Yeah,.....We'll see what she says when they leave it.
