THe wait is killing me.... I am eating xanax like they are going out of style.

I won't lie, it took me a whole day to pack my Lego room. LOL. The W has packed most of the rest thank god.

I sold the Ford yesterday. Listed it on Craigslist on wensday and sold it thursday.

Rain, rain, rain..... with no end in site. Telluride got like 20" of snow one day this week.

I am surrounded by packing boxes...the house, she's all packed up. 4 more day's until closing!!!!!!!!

Everyone liked the Robitussion and Dramamine when we where kid's. The other stuff was the Gypsum weed (moon flower) that grows all over here. Teenager's and college kid's where ending up in the hospital and dieing. I believe 4 college kid's died at Mesa State. What's with everyone crushing and snorting Vicodin's also?

what's a gooch.... Think "tant". I still can believe ppl pierce that shit.

I wish Jacob woulda made a 12"er. I would of ordered a pair. Thats alright, there are better choices. Like the EVIL 12" one's here. http://www.usspeaker.com/homepage.htm

They have big brother/sister classes here, to teach the older sibling to NOT do bad things to the baby when no one is looking. lol

I will point out one obvious thing ( to me anyways), two out the other three ppl in this discussion have the Accord a generation before mine and the other guy (with an 02) bought his DC alt used. I assume your test car is that generation also? This could explain alot of the issues I had (other than the plug clearance). The bracket obviously works, just stiffer to manipulate with the gusset. Is it as good as it get's? No, but it works. (good enough for the girls i live with) When I first went to install the bracket I used the bolt you guys provided and it was juuuust long enough to grab the first thread in the aluminum engine block, and then rip the top thread off. So I went to the store and got a longer one with the pitch you provided. I then when home to find out that that bolt wouldn't thread in. SO I compare the bolt to the OEM bolt (which is no where near long enough, but is 10.9 grade) and realize the wrong thread pitch is the problem. SO the I went back to the store and bought the correct length and pitch bolt, 10.9 grade of course. I also bought a thread tap to clean up the threads because at this point I didn't feel like any more suprizes. Then I go to install the belt you provided (which I didn't even expect in the kit anyways, so kudo's there) but it was to long. I reused the OEM sized belt that was on the car until I could get a new correct one. Needless to say I would think you would want a smoother install for a customer. I am a VERY patient guy so I personally just take it in stride, but not everyone is that calm about things.

I finally got around to installing the new alt/bracket. I was having my timing belt replaced last week and didn't want to install the DC alt until I got it back from the mech. SO anyways, here are pic's of the install AND a list of things that still need improved. THe gusseted bracket. Here is the bone's I still have to pick. The kit you guys sent me BOTH times had the wrong bolt in the kit. THe bolt needs to be 75mm long instead of 60mm and HAS THE WRONG THREAD PITCH. This is the thrid time I have told you this and its insulting that you keep sending me the wrong parts. The belt you sent me twice is also the wrong size. Insult #2 as I told you that twice also. Anyways, thats your deal if you guys want to do things half assed. I personally don't even get out of bed if I am NOT going to do things right. A shot of the bracket's resting place with no force being applied. Needless to say the it doesn't line up. Obviously I had to force it to the alt or force the alt to it, which ever way you want to say it. Lastly the plastic around the plug is not clearenced correctly. I was forced to have to trim to get the plug on. I installed this before work yesterday morning and didn't have time to make the trim job pretty due to lack of time. Not trying to be a dick, but would think you might want your customers feedback.

The pods look good homie!! Sucks to lose the door pocket, but definetly makes the pods look cleaner the shape you went with this time. The box looks EVIL!!! Andrew does some SUPER clean work. I still can't believe you only payed 5k for that car. You stole that thing.
