So since a lot has happened in the last couple weeks it’s time for an update.
School: I took my entrance exam and ATB (Ability to Benefit; allows me to start school, without having to worry about getting my GED scores), and destroyed both of them. My new start date for school Sept. 18. Le w00t.
Work: I got the job at the Sears Automotive Center near my school, which pays base plus commission, which normally comes out to somewhere between $11 an $20 an hour. I’ve also turned in my two weeks notice at blockbuster.
Life: I got the apartment in Riverside, it’s a four bed four bath, of which my share of the rent (The building is third party student house, that rents by the room, not the entire apartment) is $765/month, which includes all Utilities, including Basic Phone service, Internet, and Basic Satellite TV. Not to mention community features like pool, fitness center, theater (DVD player, and projector, throwing into a 96in screen)
Car: Here is the first bit of bad news, I blew a water seal. I'm leaking coolant into the Rotor Housing, and down the Eccentric shaft into the flywheel housing. Causing me to leak coolant from my exhaust port/manifold, and from a breather whole in the Transmission assembly. *sigh* rebuild time.
I'm sending the car to Mazdratrix located in Signal Hill. For some serious upgrades. I'm upgrading my N/A engine for a turbocharged monster. Full list of upgrades to be posted after I take the car to the shop and negotiate labor and part costs…seeing as I’m going to be insalling a couple dozen parts, I’m hoping to get them to give me a deal.
