09.11.06 In the middle of July I took a job at a VW dealer in Memphis, TN. So far, it's going well. I'm enjoying it and learning something new each day. I'm glad fall is near, July and August were really hot here! Not too much is going on now.. just working 8 to 10 hours a day and hanging out the rest of the time.

03.28.06 I'm now in Thorndale/Exton, PA and have started the Volkswagen TRP program. So far, so good. It's a pretty intense program, but I'll definitely learn a lot. Got the Mustang running about 2 weeks before I moved, but it needs a lot of tuning. Right now I am dealing with what appears to be a spark issue once the engine is under a fair amount of load (when MAP is greater than 80 KPa). It feels like the spark is cutting out like it did once before on the 2.3t. I have done all the easy stuff; cap, rotor, wires, & plugs. (Well, plugs weren't easy!) Just ran out of time before I left, so I never figured it out. So far I am liking Megasquirt. It's pretty cool..looking forward to playing with it more in the future. Being able to datalog EVERYTHING any time I want is very helpful in trying to figure out what is going on.

02.22.06 Pretty much finished all the major work on the Mustang about 1.5 weeks ago. Now I just have to get the ignition VR input circuit working in the computer, and it will be ready to fire up. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out before I leave for Exton, PA in a few weeks. I'm moving up there for 3 months for the Volkswagen MSAT program. After that... who knows. A job, somewhere.

Cycling Across America - During the summer of 2002, I bicycled across the US from San Francisco, CA to Portsmouth, NH. 3830 miles in 52 days. This was a great summer.. I had a blast. Read all about it and check out the pictures in my daily log.

Bicycle tour Pictures - Summer/fall of 2004 I was a mechanic on 3 long-distance bicycle tours. Here you can see all my pictures from this tour.

Digital Scrapbook - This is where I will be posting some pictures of stuff I think may be interesting to others. Pretty out of date. I no longer spend time updating this, even though I would like to. Maybe someday..

Ford Tech Articles - Here's some brief write-ups on some of the modifications and maintenance that I have done in the past on my Mustangs and the Explorer.

88 Mustang LX - My toy and never-ending project.. currently an aluminum-headed EFI intercooled twin turbo 351w. Used to be a 2.3 turbo engine until I kept blowing head gaskets.

Links - I plan on putting up links here to useful websites that I have found. This is mostly 2.3 Mustang and turbo related, but there might be other stuff eventually.

Photography - Some of my better 35mm pictures from several years ago
