yay, the I/C is finally on !

It took me all day today to make the intercooler
fit in the car without getting in the way of the
headlight, bumper, oil cooler lines, powersteering
lines, and all the wires...

And cleaned up the engine bay a little bit more...

And test fitted the headlights and the bumper...
It's not completely on yet. I still need to bolt it
down so nothing flies away when I'm drifting !
I found the old school "Seigo" wristband, so
I used it to cover the p/s reservoir tank (^ ^)/

hiro style ?

Luckily, the jury duty was finished in half day, so
I was able to continue my work on my cressida.
With more interior components put on, it's finally
starting to look like a drivable car.
And with the new steering wheel and the shift knob,
it's really starting to look like MY car !!!

The new shift knob has the lazer etched "Rai Jin",
which is the Japanese lightning god !

Just kidding !!!

jury duty !!!

I have to go to court tomorrow to serve a
jury duty task. . .
I have never been to a jury duty, so I don't know
what to expect...
Hope it does not take that long.

nice combo !!!

This JDM snack and a beer is a perfect match !
And this is not a ordinary JDM snack, but a
rated-R edition !!!
It's a corn puff with mayo flavor and special
wasabi powder. When I had it for the first time,
I sneezed and almost sprayed it all over my laptop...
but I kept it in (^^;),... It's that much "R" rated.
So, be careful when you eat this...
It's available at your local Mitsuwa market !

this is . . . . .

a Tamago Dofu (Tofu).
Basically a tofu made from eggs.
With the dashi-based sauce, it's very good!!
It looks like a custard pudding, but it's actually salty!

cleaning up the mess . . . . .

Since the engine did fire up successfully,
I began cleaning up the mess in the engine bay
and inside the car.
Today I installed the 3-Link Defi meter !
(I bought this long long time ago...)

I kept that clear plastic sheet on to keep it from
scratching, but I did already make a small nick
from top of that protection sheet . . . . . wtf !
As we all know, sh*t happens . . .
