Well if you dont know what flat rate is, think of it like this...there is a book that says it take an hour to change oil on a civic and you get paid 100 dollars for it, well you just changed the oil in half an hour and still get paid that 100 dollars. So basically u just made about 200$ per hour, but you still have 30 min left over to start doing something else. Basically flat rate can be big money if your fast, on top of being fast you need to be thorough though. So im hoping for the best on gettin this job.
Anyways bad news, i sold my IC and piping and oil lines today, i just found out my parents are getting divorced. So why sell my stuff because of this? Well my parents have been helping me pay for my apartment and stuff, they pay for my insurance and cell phone as well. Well...im going to now have to grow up and be independent so unfortunately this is where my build ends. I just need to get rid of my block and some other small things. So once i get rid of everything im going to be fixing up my car, ill need to fix my tranny since my 3rd gear synchro is going out, some motor mounts need to be replaced as well as shifter bushings. Just small things i will be fixing up to make sure my car stays reliable for the time being.
Right now what im thinking is once i get going and hopefully get this job ill probably be looking at a GSR swap in the future or try and boost again (for the third time). Either that or ima start saving up and im getting myself a WRX wagon.
I guess everyone needs to grow up sometime though right? =(
