Damnation: The Cynos Project

If they could somehow tumble from a desert plain, into the internet, and infront of the blog, they would. But they can't.

Anyway. After the proliferation of forward progress on the Cynos, I reached a peak of happenings and goings-on'ness which immediately exploded and crashed. Hence leading to this lull of progress. HAH. Yeah. Too lazy, too little money.

So I treated poor Sainosu! Not to anything it particularly needs mind! First up, a treasured item I had longed for years and years, obviously useless, but I wanted it as it was pretty. Yet a wretched fiend, like several times in those empty years, snatched it out of my hands at the last moment. Kkthx. Punk. Not to worry, I found another set and bought them and I'm all has happeh.

Oh yeah, and these are they:



The Cusco B-Pillar braces. Admire their glory. Thank you. Essentially, ever since finding a desolate webpage illustrating this brace being installed into a Cynos, it was forever my quest to obtain one - it was my quest before then as I feel as many unnecessary parts as possible need to end up on the car in order to. I don't know. Do I need a reason?! I LIKE PARTS ^_^. Anyway, locally, they never turned up, and when they did, they were either too cheap and breezed by my face before I so much as even awakened from some lethargy induced coma, or were too wretchedly expensive that I'd just pout at the computer screen instead. Sure. They were easily available from abroad, but, it'd end up costing 2.5 times the sense of buying them had I done so. Then this local option came. Sacre Bleue, MIEN! Oh wait, Liam. You bitch. You out bought them. Frantic justification of pricing fired off to seller and buyer stating that they are cheaper from Japan for the asking price, new. Nothing. NADA. Whores.

Then, moping around on the internet in my depression of yet again missing this opportunity. Found another set. Same frantic justification for a sizeable (yet not sizeable enough) discount. Get a text. SCORE. Picked up at 1am from his house. DONE! And yeah. That's it. I got some Cusco B-Pillar Braces ^_^. Oh, and whilst bored, I also decided to bid on an EL'Sport EP91 Glanza C-Pillar Brace, as well as what I presume to be a Downhill Activ made EP82 Centre/Transmission Tunnel Brace. Not sure if either will fit, but, neither do most of the other "exploratory items" I try to convince myself are worth the outlay.

I also cried. HARD. Ok. I didn't cry. I pouted at the computer screen again - when this gloriously, purposefully Engrish made entity slipped through my hands before I could make a bidding call:




GALLOP! I need a Gallop seat. NOW. For only a £120 buy it now, and I was dilly dallying as I didn't want to annoy my contact for inane requests o_o. And now, I'm constantly searching for one. Why pray and tell you, Google Bots, may ask yourselves do I require a Carbon Kevlar seat when the car doesn't run? How many times more do I need to say STFU as I don't actually have reasoning behind such decisions? I just do! And I want a Gallop :(. And a Suede Nardi Steering wheel, despite having a perfectly fine leather one. And now, I constantly search them both. I am actually hoping hard that the buyer is too fat for that seat.

Onto more pressing issues, a replacement driveshaft is STILL Missing in Acton Town, nowhere to be seen. I struggle to think what more proactive duties can be performed in the meantime however, so the Cynos sits idly undisturbed in the garage. I am hoping to retrieve one soon, as I cannot spare more hair falling out, and with this weather, I fear I will never see my unmentionables again should I have to work out in the cold. Not that I'd need to see them.

So. Yeah. Bought some stuff. Didn't buy some stuff. Nothing actually done. More of the usual. A lot bought for the other vehicle, but obviously to be noted in the respective blogs.

Oh, and I just remember that one purchase was semi-useful:



Yes. The FCon is now essentially ready to utilise. Well, on installing and wiring in the Linear TPS from an Automatic Starlet. I essentially had to buy a full FCon ECU, Loom and MAP Sensor set, despite already having a newer (3.2 vs. 3.1) ECU and MAP Sensor set, just in order to purchase the Cruise EP82 Wiring Harness that came with those. After arduous forum stalking, I managed to locate said buyer, who has thus far already paid for the ECU, and is having a loom made up by my contact in Japan. So, essentially, the Cruise EP82 Loom that retails for around £500 inclusive of delivery. Was bought for the princely sum of a lot less. ^_^

Otherwise. Wanted: Effort.
