    I need my shop manual back. let me know when I can come and pick it up.

    Yeah when I waxed it the first time it looked great all the oxidation went away.


    Ill bring it to you on the 5th if I can. If not any day following that.

            I'm going to buff wax my car soon. And what is clay magic? They said they recommend doing that before waxing.

            I'm going to buy my own wax kit soon

              I can come and get it, let me know when you are home. I'm at work all day both tomorrow and Friday so don't worry about bringing it over. I know driving is less than easy for you at the moment.

                  any job that doesn't want you to work on education at the same time is likely a dead-end gig anyway.

                  keep looking & good luck.

                    does anyone have an M50/S50 fuel rail laying around? i'm such a dumbass, I forgot it was attached to the manifold I sold with my M50 engine.

                    just got my harness back and I'm ready to do work.

                            MEET this friday 7/5

                            heres the plan:

                            meet at food trucks in san jose around 6pm. hang out, eat, jack off, whatever you want.

                            we will then leave to the canibeat meet in fremont at 730pm, the meet starts at 9pm so this should give us time to get parking together. (we will discuss the route before we leave)

                            here is the address for the canibeat meet:
                            43349 Pacific Commons Blvd., Fremont, California 94538

                            open to any comments/suggestions.

                              Clay Magic is just another way of saying Clay Bar.

                              One spritzes the finish of their vehicle with a "catalyst" (usually a quick detailler type of spray) then they rub a fresh clay bar over the area that was just spritzed and works it over the clear coat. The clay bar then pulls off any impurities that have stuck to the clear coat. Road Tar, sap, grease ,etc. After doing so the clear coat has a much smoother feel to it. Using the hand rubbed over the surface test. The only magic involved comes from elbow grease and attention to detail.

                              Then as
                              eRix has pointed out
                              the additional steps of detailing the finish of the vehicle
                              are performed.
