as some of you may know (if you read my posts...) that i had surgery yesterday to correct a hernia that i had since about last year (but was missed-diagnosed, they thought it was a dialated vein going to my :oops: right testicle [<--if Under 18 don't read]) but was corrected testerday, and i'm glad it has been, fortunately i only feel sore and I was actually going up and down stairs yesterday (about a 20 stair flight, with about 5mg hydrocodone+35mg tylenol but it was only half a pill...) I finally got to watch the Bourne Identity and "..." Supremacy yesterday too (while feeling the after effects of my anesthetic and 2 pills of Hydrocodone... which can give you the power to watch the ceiling fan go round'n'round' while watching your dog lying on the floor at the same time!!! and will make your eyes look like this 8O ) seeing how this is my second day and i haven't had a pill since yesterday i'll probably be back to normal by bout' tuesday next week... 8)

Just to let you know i'm still around :D

That's the only thing i know your wrong about...

But it hurts to stand up quickly... i have my own little technique to getting up... i have to throw my head back and then straighten my neck and torso at the same time, but still walk with a limp untill i get around for a while...

i'll probably take half a pill of hydrocodon tonight just to make sure i don't wake up from pain during the night

At least my Girlfriend and her dad dropped me off some junk-food to munch on today after she won her game i think 25-3 against another school (i'm so proud)

Changing the subject here for a minute.
Are there any turbo kits available for those 81 and up diesel Luvs?
Can you beef up the pumps or go with bigger injectors? You know , something to make smoke and give em a little kick. 8) :roll:

well i haven't seen any kits for turbo's (you'd just have to get the manifolds from a stock turbo-diesel) but i have seen one for a supercharger that was $2k but with that you'd have to beef up your connecting rods, but the injectors i don't think can be inlarged just cleaned and the psi going to them increased, your truck will run hotter too so you'd have to get a lower temp. thermostat.

I was personally on my truck wanting to make a custom intake, make a striaght pipe-header w/ side pipes with my special idea too (1 and 2 cylender's pipes come out on one side, and 3 and 4's pipes come out on the other... so if your on one side of the truck the noise will sound like a V8 diesel...), stiffen up the valve springs (will increase the red-line), get the turbo diesel connecting rods and put them in, and re-build the whole motor+tranny+use a s10 rear to prevent lock ups, i'd also like to see if i can get over sized pistons and sleeves, but i'd also have to get a higher torque starter.... i'd also like to pull a tach. from a luv or pup that had a tach from factory... that'd be a site to see!!!

it's amazing the way the body can heal(4 days after surgery... it's a good thing my school isn't trying to spy on me to see y i'm outta school)... i just jerked off the rear bumper of my truck....(the one the escort didn't hit) and i've been prepping it for paint... sandblasting it, using a wire wheel, a putty knife to get the "grip stickers" off, ETC...

and then my mom says i can't wax my truck cause my body needs to heal... wouldn't ya'll think that preping a bumper is harder than waxing???
