i just have 3 weeks off then i start the next quarter, but im going to go out to my dad's for a little while and then kick in st paul for a week and then go back to school

sweet

thats nice man!. How much are they charging you for the timing belt replacement?
did you buy an aftermarket pump or honda oem?

Starts at $450 but it'll depend on how smoothly it goes. I'm letting them use the parts that they see fit but they will most likely use OEM. They used to be a back up shop for the Honda dealership down the block.

make sure you pre-register, they are going to start charging more for those who don't.

Wasn't it like that last year? I'll try and remember to pre-register today. I'll let my buddy know to do the same.

ah, alright. cool cool. you dropped it off today? how many miles are on it btw?

 

[hkt03]

dropped it off this morning, I'll pick it up after work. I have 96k on the car right now. I was going to wait and buy the parts from Honda and then just have the shop install them but I ran out of time. I started getting a weird hiss coming from the motor that I'm thinking is one of the belts. I didn't want to put the car under heavy stress on Saturday and have it snap on me out there.

<edit. looks like pre-registration is over for saturday lol

f**kin suuuuuuuuux




Unless I actually get a decent month here there's a few things owning me:

$3300 cc debt
One of my best friends back west is getting hitched and I really should be there for that in August ($500 at least! most likely more)
I need to do my timing belt as well ($400 at least)

So not sure i have room for any selfish purchases...............f**k. I wanna be selfish! lol

 

[hkt03]

excuses

I hear you though.. honestly should have finished paying off my cc first but after this month it should be under $1k.
