That is essentially what 99% of my purchases produce. Evrar. Yet, I cannot complain, why?


That's why ^-^

And as is immediately apparent, there's a lot that has been purchased that is even more useless than usual. I know, very surprising behaviour from me. I'm not even talking of turbocharger/kit #4 of 5 either!

So what out of this pile of detritus is headed towards the Sainosu, some time between now and the next Ice Age [wishful thinking]? Ouila:


So what is it all you ask? You didn't ask? Well STFU, you'll find out anyway:

Something, I think a CT9



Well, actually, it's a full SARD K24 turbocharger kit, that has recently been rebuilt by Shuhei of Destiny, complete with WPC Treatment of the bearings for nothing of real benefit to me, but it should provide superior wear characteristics. As, you know, I'll have so much time to run this. Along with 4 other turbochargers. In saying that though, the pictured intercooler outlet pipe was made for a GReddy Intercooler kit. Which I will be receiving with my next turbocharger kit.

Yes. I am implying that my idiotic expenditure pattern, has experienced. A twist of fate. Enough much so to even elicit - in my mind - jealousy from M. Night Shamayalan. What a twist! What other useful rubbish was included in my shipment?

E'L Sport EP91 C-Pillar Bar

Obviously needed. For my hatchback. Yeah. Well, rumour had it that an EP91 Pillar Brace would fit Paseo's. Measurements never figured out that rumour. So obviously, throw lots of money towards a largely ineffective brace to prove a point no-one cares about. I am. Master of logic.

And finally, a purchase I am particularly proud of:

"Downhill Activ" EP82 Chassis Floor Braces
Why am I proud for these bent poles? The motive of the purchase, naturally. For. These had been floating on Yahoo for more than a year, with nary an interest. So, I got particularly bored one day, and combined with missing yet another useless item on Yahoo, I was pushed by my inate need to fill expanses of boredom with purchases, to obtain these. And now I have them. So. What do they do?

Pfft, hell if I know.

Teehee. I kid. No, basically they attach to the front control arm mount, somewhere, then along the centre chassis rails. They are essentially a subframe connector, strengthening the main chassis section. Whether they will do anything quantifiable is to be seen. Construction is a bit ghetto fabulous too - befitting - and seem to be stuffed with caulking as well. Much like my head.

Oh, and being for an EP82, i.e. a shorter car than the Cynos, there is a distinct possibility that they will come up, err, short. Win.

Sip or Quaff to Enjoy



...




















































*Ahem*

I has Quaife's ^_^

I also has a seemingly correct driveshaft. Jubilations! And no, it's not from that putrid excuse of a life-form that still owes it, my TRD CV Joint and my money. So, yeah, that is basically all. For now.

By "One" I means one of my testicles, broken from this mind-numbing wait on behalf of the wretched abortion that is keeping my driveshaft at ransom.

So. I've put a deposit on something else I don't need.

*Sigh*
