Actually is sounds like someone in your region is asleep at the wheel. My nut is dependent on those retail people asking who you work for or where you go to school in the first three questions as you come in the door.
They're a lot better at it in Indiana - partially because I crack the whip, 'drop in' on unsuspecting retail stores in plain clothes wearing college shirts, etc. Just a few examples of me documenting the salesperson, store, date, time and why they didn't ask someone roughly college age wearing an Indiana University shirt and hat about the discount and they're a lot more careful.
Congrats on the job btw. I was in law school for one semester before Apple recruited me out for a sales gig, now I'm at AT&T getting an MBA - but I still hang out with all my friends from IU Law - a lot of them are having trouble with the job market - a couple are hanging out their shingle and starting their own firms.
Vehicle: MB SL600, MB 380SE, Suzuki Grand Vitara, 38' Chris-Craft, Volvo V70XC, and my own two feet...

Oh ya the job market effin' sucks, I'm not surprised your friends are having issues. All these companies that went under dumped a boatload of lawyers on the market all at once, plus there's a lot less corporate work to be done in this type of economy. No joke, the only two things that are doing well are bankruptcy and divorce. I guess you could probably do ok if you signed up with a couple banks to do forclosures too. Overall though it's a really crappy time to be looking for a job. Everyone has this view of lawyers as making a pile of money, but those opportunities are damned scarce in this market. I think it's gonna get worse before it gets better too.

I'll subscribe to that thread!
What type of tune/testing have you done so far NEOKEN?
Alex.
We all know the existing performance engine or ecu modifications were included with the car uopn purchase such as the custom fiberglass intake setup.
My current/next project is my M119 TB prototype possibly including intake plenum/manifold or more.
What has been holding me back before from doing this is this is my daily driver and some downtime is required.
This is a glimpse of my latest works straight off of my workbench.
Again my own M119 is coming up next.
Dyno results will be posted.
Yes I would like to port and polish/portmatch cylinder heads as well but again I would need to find the right timing as my R129 is my only car at this time.
Stay Tuned.....
NOTE: Below are a few before and after photos are taken from the same type TB. (C32 Honda/Acura Legend GS JDM engine)
I have a bunch of photos of my latest work, I will be happy to email them if anyone would like me to.
I didnt know you had any other mod other than the aftermarket airbox.
Who tuned your ECU?
It has been mentioned and highly suspected that the ECU was tuned by the previous owner which was mainly brought to my attention through forum members.
Notice I quoted engine "or" ecu. modifications.
To what extent or details we have yet to confirm as mentioned on other threads.
It would be nice to compare actual results in the near future upon completion of the custom engine porting along with further testing and tuning including results as I have already mentioned.
I am really looking foward to it.
Of course I will post more when the timing is right.
