she got flashed
on october 10, my little white warrior got flashed. man, lots of power. after getting evoscan...a datalogging software to read the ecu, it turns out that my car has shitloads of knock in the high rpm range. so i take it back to get it retuned. now, there is less knock, but still considered high. dam! other tuners are tellin me that i should get it fixed.
other than that, the car feels great. i'm about to hit 10k in mileage and for turkey day, my car is gonna take its first journey to SD. time to change oil, diff fluid, transfercase oil, and transmission oil.

evo gets some dyno time
next week wednesday, the evo gets some dyno time. no tuning, just looking for some baseline numbers. but a little teaser fo yalls, she will no longer be natural =0. a little augmentation and some leg work is in the near future.
if yer ever in san diego, visit valentine's (valen-teeeens)
irene and i are down in SD in search for our wedding reception hall. it was a long day and we were hungry and decided to take a lunch break at valentine's (valen-teeeens).
irene ordered roll tacos and ordered carne asada tacos. we both shared a cup of spanish rice and a tall serving of horchata.
what you see here to the left is the carne asada tacos with mexican guac...meaning guac with no sour cream mixed in.
dam tasty.
what you see here to the right is a half eaten cup of spanish rice with hand made salsa. oh so good.
the pics are crappy cause it was shot through my cell cam. but man do i miss eating here. irene and i wanted to eat more but we were to full. didn't wanna be matakaw ya know?
i wish these pics could be like a "scratch and sniff" sticker. scratch em and smell the carne asada and spanish rice goodness.
the weather is beautiful down here and wished i had my bodyboarding gear to sponge the local waves in la jolla. tonite we watch pasacat's extravaganza show. also trying to hook up with veejay but my calls aren't going through. hopefully i'll see him at the show tonite since big sexxxy ses they are down in SD visiting.

*sigh* of relief for gas
tonite after tina's b-day party (happy 30th!), i had to get gas. so at the chevron in san mateo, for 91 piss octane...it was $3.09/gallon. i was like "oh yeh" time to get a full tank! hahah j/k. so, at 42 bucks for 13.5 gallon (14 gal capacity on the evo) i was ecstatic. i never took the evo close to that empty before. reminds of the seinfeld episode where kramer kept on drivin and daring himself to see how much longer he can drive before going empty.
a few more hours till my birthday. i'm turning 33, (oh my goosneck gracious, as kuya rudi would say) its gonna be a low-key birthday. but the party will go down on the 23rd. bayanihan is also performing that weekend, so bayanihan and an herna/randy party at a bar after the show.

cast party in the double v
this past sunday, john and laurie had the cast party at their pad. it was good to see the peeps, but not everyone showed up. the video was kool and so was the food.
for me, the best part of the party was messin around with john's Serrato Scratch Live. The system uses mp3's but connected to turntables. its pretty tight. i'm too lazy to post pictures of scratch live but you can google it to see fo yo self.
that's all for today...just wanted to ramble.

carne asada burrito...the REAL carne asada burrito
okay here it is. the CARNE asada burrito from baldo's in vacaville. its just as good as adalbertos in fairfield...but not as good down in san diego. but nonetheless, its carne asada home away from home. so this burrito = no extra stuff like rice, beans, cheese, etc. just carne asada, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
sorry for the blurry picture, but you can get the idea of how big this burrito was
to the right as you can see, the distribution of guacamole, pico, and carne asada. the measuring tape is to show actual size of the burrito. yes folks, an authentic carne asada burrito.
score: 90 out of 100. enjoy!

evo suspended
The WORKS rear strut tower bar, a heavy duty strut bar which adds rigidity to the rear suspension when the two strut towers are connected. i can actually feel the rear of the car being planted when taking a high spirited turn. the strut bar prevents the sturt towers/rear chassis from twisting during high speed cornering and keeps the rear end planted to the ground. i love this thing!
here is a shot of the trunk space without the trunk lining. you can see how the strut bar is attached to the strut towers.
here is the trunk space with the trunk lining installed. it was a pain the cut the holes in the lining for the strut bar, but i managed to make it look uber stock.
the RS trunk bar. keeps the rear trunk area rigid and from twisting when taking a high speed turn. also aids in keeping the rear of the car planted when taking a turn.
the evo is now 5 months old and has 6200 miles on the odo. i had to change out the stock intercooler hose clamps cause the clamps were loosening up causing boost leaks. i changed the stock clamps and used t-bolt clamps. the t-bolt clamps stay tight and will never loosen up. i wish i took pictures of the evo with the bumper off, but i got lazy. but the boost leaks are no more.
until next time...

heheheh let ernie drive the evo on the way home after tonite's gig. he had a kool aid smile on his face. enough said.
yeh from the back seat, since the bass was riding shotgun, the evo seemed fast. all most too fast. but ernie was havin a ball (at 110 miles an hour!) and yes, he'll be havin shitloads of tickets if he were to get an evo.
