You learn from your mistakes. If not, you end up like cupcakez. He is the definition of insanity. Keep doing the same thing over and over. Expecting different results each time. :rofl2:

Yep. But I think cupcakez was just not able to stick to a plan. Easily distracted to go different routes that lead to trouble

it's all stock feels pointless and i'm scared it'll mess up the stock tune or maybe im just being a little bitch. cant decide yet.

I cant imagine it could possibly screw anything up by just being plugged in. at that point it is just a glorified bluetooth OBD reader. Kinda neat to see it show all the parameters on a custom dashboard. I compare it to my pillar gauges and they match up.

If the option is you are either a bitch or you aren’t, then it’s always you’re a bitch. :stirthepot:

Cupcakez has been posting more on Facebook lately. He has an appointment to take his car into Seb I believe late June. Or he might sell the car or just the motor or....... :rofl2:

madwi 04-23-2019 07:33 PM

The injections in my back I think may be working a bit. Not sure if placebo effect but I have been sitting in my chair for an hour and I am not crying, so that is good news!

Holy smokes, you would be amazed...

First of all, I have all the tools from:
-My wife's first husband that died
-My Dad, who was a Journeyman Millwright
-My FIL, who was a mechanic
-And all the tools of my own, of which I have truly been just about every trade out there... (Carpenter, Electrician, Electronics Tech, Plumber, Pipefitter, Drywaller, Painter, Bricklayer, Block-layer, Stone Mason, Ceramic Tile installation, ect..)

I think I had 12 or 13 of about everything. And some things hundreds of...

Holy fuggo, how did I get that much stuff... :eek: ... and I still saved a fair amount that fills my two Craftsman roll arounds that are triple stacked...

Anyhow on Saturday hopefully a fair amount of it will sell for pennies on the dollar, but I will be free from it...

Damn, I gotta go get me a wad o bacon to snack on... whew...

Cupcakez update. I just talked to him via Messenger. He's looking at taking his Z to a shop local to him that works on GTR's and Q60's. :icon14::icon14::icon14:

Maybe I shouldnt feel sorry for him. Take the POS to seb already. His wallet has been bled dry by all the other "specialists" already. Time to nut up nancy!

For real! It is perfect for what you are going to do to it! $5k is nothing in the grand scheme of things!

Yep, I've now given up on him. But, it might work out better for me. My car will be ready soon and since his car won't be at Specialty Z for the week or so it was going to take to get everything straightened out then maybe Seb can get me in sooner. :tup:
