mods + gangsta rap

this weekend i spent much of my time :

- modifying silvia (PID addition, then internal wiring changes) and modifying rocky (removed portafilter holder, doser fin mod)

- listening to gangsta rap

- acting either really really goofy or really really mushy with W

the mods were some of the most fun i've had in a long time (until i got to W's house overcaffeinated, that is. heh. that was more fun).

anyhow, modifying my equipment - doing electrical work with no prior experience - was extremely satisfying, making me feel capable and manly and all that stuff. i'm looking around for more things to mod.

on the way home from sunday lunch, i drove by what was evidently a G35c/z300/skylineC convention outside of mimi's cafe in FC. there was a whole pair of parking lot rows filled with the things. i could finally sort of identify with ricers.

on the other hand, i'm hella glad i'm into modding my $500 espresso machine, and not a 40k (or more?) sportscar imported from japan (skyline isn't sold in the US!)

and my mods have an actual noticeable effect.

i need a VTEC sticker for silvia.
