Bad gas mileage

How much boost do you have?

Not boosted yet, but plan to be in the 8 to 12 pound range. Going to have a leak done soon, too see if it's even worth boosting this motor. If it's not I'm going to be getting a B18C1 or B18C5 from a GSR Integra, rebuilt is with forged internals and throw about 18 psi at it.

Ah...I love me some Integra.

I was looking at getting a 98-2000 prelude. I love that car for some reason.

I work at a autoparts store so I see all kinds of rides. Plus, I love my discount.

18 psi with a gsr motor will put a smile on your face.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Yea, 'ludes are REALLY nice cars, but it's hard to find one within a decent price range that hasn't been ***** by some stupid *** ricer.

I've been trying to get a little side job at an auto parts store. It REALLY pisses me off when I go up to the local AutoZone and ask the retard behind the counter for something and they give me a look like this: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif. Beats the shit out of me how they get hired, but I walk up to the manager, shake his hand when I turn my app in, and talk cars with him for 15 minutes...

I'd work 5 hours a week, just to get the discount.

What kind of discount do you get and where do you work at?

I'm a manager at mentioned store.....lol

yes...we get alot of tards that work for us. It sucks because every question has to be answered by me....making my job that much more enjoyable.

I called a store nearby on a rainy day and asked for a flux capacitor....and the idiot actually tried to look it up.

I almost shit myself.

We get 20% on pretty much all hard parts.

Every other month the powers that be will give us 35% and that is when I order all my performance vendor direct parts.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hilarious.gif.02a037aad04aa96f19982b298a3d70a8.gif that's too d@mn funny. Most of the people that work there have no clue what they're doing. When I applied, I told them I'd be available ANY time, working late nights and everything...but still no calls over. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

There's a little mom and pop's fabrication shop opening soon, it's a kid that I went to school with grandpa's shop. He said something around $20/hour, but I'd take half that and access to a shop and the tools at anytime needed for me. We'll see how that works.

Most managers see potential hires with extensive car knowledge as a threat and will not hire them.

If you came in and talked with me and said you could work pretty much anytime......plus you have automotive knowledge....bingo.

 

[simpsonbuck 10+ year member]

Good luck with that.

Just put it this way.....I'm going back to school to finish my degree.....that's how much I love my job.

Uhh, why? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

Seems to me that would be the most important thing....

 

[simpsonbuck 10+ year member]

You would think......

 

[simpsonbuck 10+ year member]

If you have no one around to make you look bad you always look good.

 

[Fusion_FREAK 10+ year member]

Only reason I can think of is that that person with a lot of knowledge will surpass the very own managers knowledge, leading him to be working for that kid that walked in 2 months ago. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Too bad your in FL.....if you were nearby I'd put you on in a heartbeat.

I only get people who had parents who did too much bad lsd in the 60's....or kids that call in constantly.
