connor i need some lsj parts lol

 

In the Va. Beach/Tidewater area.

 

i got a ticket a couple weeks ago going 76 in a 55 on the chesapeake bay bridge... i live in NJ and I have to go to court august 24th. Hopefully Ill see some of you guys down there...btw anyone know how fucked i am? I know it will be a little different cus im outta state and I tried calling to see how much my ticket will be but they only list prices for speeding 19mph over the limit and below.


PS: He spelt my first name wrong... should I mention that in court or should I leave it alone and hope for the best?

 

Get your speedo checked for accuracy. If it reads 2mph or more slow you can present that in court and it'll help reduce the ticket to a simple speeding. Right now you are looking at reckless driving and that's a felony out here. It may help you to consult an attorney.

Major rain storm tonight that caused severe storm warnings, flash flood warning, and tornado watches. Tv reception went out, so I rented a video from Blockbuster. Roads weren't flooded when I went to blockbuster. Came back same route, roads we're mostly unchanged. Then came to a spot with deep water, but not enough to flood the engine. Couldn't move to left lane because a truck was speeding past. The truck made some large waves and splashed lots of water onto my car. Power reduced and it died. Got towed to Hall Chevy and tried starting car. Engine won't turn.

This happened down the street from my house on Taylor Road, in front of YMCA. I've never seen it flood there. Police were surprised too. The water wasn't deep enough to touch the side skirts, but close enough that when cars passed me I could hear the water splashing against the floor pan.
Talk to the dealership and find out where they are sending the scrap parts. My car will be fixed, so don't think about volturing my car. I have comprehensive and collision insurance with a $0 deductible through State Farm.

 

man i need 0 deductable lol my insurance owuld goo uuup though cause i got 250 right now

 

Where did you get your ticket? Depending on the city you could be alright. I got a 86 in a 55 in Norfolk, paid court costs and went on my way. However, Hampton and VA Beach are pretty serious about tickets.

 

i try not to do anything dumb in Va... learned my lesson.. still haunts me haha

 

what all are they replacing on ur car? im taking my car in tuesday for the power steering recall, i can ask them if i can have ur parts instead of scrapping them..

 

You'll notice a tighter steering wheel once you get the new power steering unit. I suspect I'm getting a new engine. The old one is already spoken for. I'm getting it so that I can learn how to rebuild an engine and start my twincharge build. This way I can build a motor without serious downtime on my car. However, I won't know what's happening with my car until the adjuster looks at my car on Monday.

Go 0 on your comprehensive coverage only. It costs less than $10 per month more than a policy with a $250 deductible. Leave your liability and collision coverage at a $250 deductible.

 

Free lunch and BEER to anyone who helps me install my headlights tomorrow. Let me know.

 

More info

 

does comprehensive cover like theft and vandalism??

 

yes, and in connors case driving though lakes jk connor had to do it though

 

i think i was next to you on indian river road this afternoon

 

As comedian Bill Engvall would say, "There's your sign."

 

Red cavvy?


Also, my headlights are gen 3 projectors. I'm so horrible with wiring I'm worried I'd mess something up somewhere down the line. As for the lunch and beer, you pick whatever place you want, I buy.

 

3rd generation headlights aren't pnp? I knew 1st gen headlights needed the halos and l.e.d.s sliced in, but 2nd and 4th gen headlights are pnp. I'd figure 3rd gen were too.

 

The high and low beams plug right in. But that leaves 10 wires for the 3 LEDS and both halos.

 

1 power and one ground for each light 5 lights = 5 positives and 5 negitives = 10 wires. are the wires color coded?

 

^^^correct and yes they were.


Big thank you to Conner for helping me out with them. He did s great job. Pictures later on. I need to aim them tonight

 

ill stick with my headlights.. one LED strip tapped into parking lights

 

just a heads up guys alot of us langley guys are going up to richmond dragway on friday, and if some of you would like to come i SHOULD be tuned by then for the meth and hopefully see some 12's. I duno though it may be hot and richmonds prep isnt the best but im throwing the offer out there let me know

 

richmonds prep is far better than Dragway 42 in ohio.. been there since the 50s and 60s.. and it slopes down and alotta bumps.. i was lucky to break 13.8 there... it was terrible.. all out in the country side of ohio....

 

The Amish side of Ohio, I've raced @ Dragway 42, I liked racing the return road.

 

These are iPhone pics and even uploaded to photobucket on my phone so I dunno how they'll look but here are before and after shots.

Better pics with a better camera after they're properly aimed tonight. Again, a huge thank you to Conner.
