Simpsons Hard core fan. Seen almost all the episodes except the last 3 seasons... Just bits and parts.
Ping pong enthusiast. RC car racing, go Team Associated. Car Racing - I got lots to learn. PS2 - Video games I actually only play Gran Turismo 3.
Enjoy basketball, walking, and eating. Oh yeah and hanging out.My racing adventures... Legal ones that is....

Television:

Simpsons: Honestly, I don't think anyone has watched as many episodes as my family, okay... maybe Kelvin but only cuz he copied all my vhs tapes... I watched it 24/7 through highschool.. seriously... 8 full tapes that were rotated in the VCR....King of the Hill: Man that hit the spot... Good replacement for Simpsons, since they went stagnent. Drew Carey: Most of their older stuff is funny. I stopped watching the new stuff like Simpsons...Futurama: Oddly enough this show was cancelled, and every time I turn on the Cartoon Network, it's like a new episode to me, and I could have sworn I watched them all.Unlisted are a bunch of old 80's television shows. I watched a lot of TV... Really.. Didn't get out much. You name that show and I watched it... no cable back then...

Books:

Seriously, I don't read. If I do it's like a paragraph a year... I stopped reading after the 9th grade. I didn't learn anything, and just got by with reading the titles and making up stuff as I felt fit. Yeah my grades weren't too good but I got by. I think the last time I seriously read was in Junior High. Dragon Lance Series. All the major ones. Legends, Chronicles.... Oh I did read a few off D&D writers in College. It was like 3 books. But otherwise I don't read at all.I think I am retarded cuz I don't keep up...K I was at barns and nobles recently. I read a couple of car magazines. Does that count?

Heroes:

I want to be a Hero. I heard it's pretty easy to be a Hero in India. But I think I don't fit the height requirement... Otherwise I don't have a chance anywhere else but in my mind...

I definitely got it

The oil leaks are gone. I am really glad. It’s bothered me a lot. Last week I replaced the damaged camber kit in the front. Upon removal I found that the ones I had were of racing style, not spo...

I think I got it.

I think I finally got all the leaks to stop on the integra. Worked on the Distrubutor, VTEC solinoid, and the Cam plug. The disturbing part is the distributor is an LS model. They chopped the bolting...

Hmmm car stuff. Lots of stuff going on.. Buddies are all thinking of selling some cars and getting something to commute in. No more racing I guess, or for the time being. The integra has just passed i...

Been a Long Time

Yeah I had some bad luck with the integra. It's the first time it's failed me. I was driving for a job interview when the slave cylinder on the clutch took in air. I can drive without the clutch up to...

Lately

Test drives for the 86 have been good. I ran it for about 200 miles now. Only pull it to 4k in the rpm's. Still breaking in the head. Will probably change the oil at 500miles. So far so good for the s...

Test 2, what luck

Well the cars been back a couple of weeks and I drive it once a week to dodge any tickets for street sweeping. About 2 weeks ago I drove it to Irvine. It was a really hot afternoon. The car made ...
Posted by Richard on Tue, 10 Jul 2007 12:14:00 PST

WOW.. it's back.

So the integra is running okay. It's a bit noisy from the belt installation. The car runs okay but the alignment is off so the car feels slugish and the mileage is lower than before. Big news. The Cor...
