Its a REALLY complicated story Taylor. I put in a request back in FEBRUARY to have today off, but since I could only work 5 to 9 at bbuy, thats all I put in for. 2 weeks ago my availability changed so I was off on Saturdays...I forgot to put in a request saying that I now need to be off all day this Saturday and figured since she saw I had already requested the day off (time that I would normally work at bbuy) She wouldnt schedule me....cuz that's just intelligent. She scheduled me 12 to 5 and apparently cuz we sucked last month we now also have a morning meeting at 830 on Saturday. I did a bit of embellishing of the story and told her I need it off for the group of ppl and told her there are 50 of us spending the day out and about MN. So she hasnt said yes or no yet to my request to just have the day. But I mean c'mon! If I ask for the time off from work that I only applies to you, you might be able to realize that I already have the morning off from my other job, or at least ask me about it. I did put in for my time off request it was an all day event...that apparently means nothing. So I'm just debating my options of just not going to work and dealing with the consequences....regardless, I might just show up a few hours late...so they can't say I didnt come in for my shift lol

Oh ****! You should swap in my KLZE into it! I have a Probe GT (same motor as a the 626). But I swapped in the J-spec KLZE in and bolted on headers, pulleys, plugs, intake etc...a good tune will easily yield 220HP over the 160HP stock motor....of course that's all assuming you're talking about the V6 and not a 4 cylinder model.
It's been parked for 2 years because I've been too lazy to install a new fuel pump, lol. And now the body is getting to the point where I don't know if I want to dump any money into it.

the car has about 220K or so on it so if i put any more power into it, everything else is going to fall apart 
and i 100% agree with you Lance. Anything mechanical even bodywork i'm okay with (at least try) but electrical stuff just seems so arbitrary to me

Had I actually gotten around to finishing it up it would have looked very similar to this (including boost!)

Hossam, a 4 cyl swap is gonna be much easier to deal with than the V6. Here's a clip of my first startup after the ZE swap! Man I forgot the exhaust was pretty nice sounding though

READ THIS POST!!! Oh Snap!!! Fellas...if you have an Android or Iphone, install the Tikl App. It's a push to talk app that can allow us to use our phones as walkie talkies! We can group talk and chat on it but I figured this would be a great supplement (not substitute) for the cruise! We'll still use the walkies too in case we get no cell signal at times but this way, way more of us can be on the same page!

I'll let ya know Trev... Man, I have to go get that other 626 and drop it off at home then drop my friend back to his place in uptown then try to be back home at a decent time to get enough sleep. the problem is i was planning on putting both 626s in the garage so i can do the work in the garage and therefore my G will have to sit in the driveway. the problem is that its suppose to rain tonight and tomorrow morning and therefore FAIL
