Lower Control Arm Bushings, Maybe a Torque Arm, I Still have the TFS Heads Collecting Dust so i'll try on that, maybe get wheels powdercoated black, Finish my Roll cage, recarpet my Rear seat delete, Roll My Rear Fenders, etc.

Oh, and I'm Moving To Wenatchee for an EMT position so that might count...

Where did you get hired on at? And congrats, and welcome to the world of EMS!

Here's something for ya to read over:

The Rules of EMS
1. Skin signs tell all.
2. Sick people don't bitch.
3. Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any variation on this is
a bad thing.
4. About 80% of the battery patients deserved it.
5. The more equipment you see on a EMTs belt, the newer they are.
6. If you drop the baby pick it up.
7. When dealing with patients, supervisors, or citizens, if it felt good
saying it, it was the wrong thing to say.
8. All bleeding stops....eventually.
9. All people will eventually die, no matter what you do.
10. If the child is quiet, be scared.
11. Always follow the rules, but be wise enough to forget them sometimes.
12. If the patient vomits in the rig try to hold thier head to the side of the rig
with the disposable equipment, not the stuff you have to clean.
13. If someone dies by chemical hazards, electrical shocks or other on-scene
dangers it should be the patient, not you.
14. Any EMT, FF, LEO and/or scene chief who is more drunk (or more stupid) than the patient
is the real problem.
15. There will be problems.
16. You can't cure stupid.
17. If it's wet and sticky and not yours, leave it alone!
18. If at all possible, avoid any edible item that firefighters prepare,
especially the tuna casserole.
19. Heaven protects Fools and Drunks.
20. EMS is extended periods of intense boredom, interrupted by occasional
moments of sheer terror.
21. Every Emergency has three phases Panic, Fear, and Remorse.
22. You are bound to get a call either during dinner, while you are on the
can, or at 02:00 in the middle of a great dream.
23. Rocket scientists that get into car crashes are the first ones
to complain how bumpy the ambulance ride is.
24. The severity of the injury(s) is directly proportional to the difficulty in accessing, as well as the weight, of the patient.
25. Turret mounted machine guns would work better than lights and sirens.
26. Make sure the rookie EMT knows that a med patch is a radio term, and
not a medicated bandage.
27. Paramedics save lives; But it's EMT skills that save
Paramedics.
28. When a patient vomits outside, be sure to aim it at the citizens who
wouldn't back up.
29. Never trust your rig, drug box, or airway bag to be fully stocked. In spite of the assurances of the offgoing crew.
30. If you don't have it, don't give up, Adapt, Improvise, Overcome, (then call
for a second unit).
31. There is no such thing as a "textbook case"
32. Newbies always look for large things in the smallest compartments and
vice versa.
33. There is no such thing as a bad call. Only calls that didn't go the way
you planned.
36. If there are no drunks at an MVA after midnight, keep looking, some one
is missing.
37. Just cause your paranoid does not mean the Supervisor isn't around the
corner.
38. Remember what MICN stands for, "May I interrupt your Call Now?".
39. Just because someone's license date is before yours does not mean they
know what they are doing.
40. Newbies have there own way of doing things

^^^Thought some of you non-emt's would get a kick out of it.^^^


OK, back on track:winter mods! Well I may get my 3:73's done, and subframes. Other than that probably nothing else. We are saving for a trip to go back to NC for a week.......I need to get my priorities straight.

I was thinking about the 3.3L Whipple but theres not enough of an increase to justify its extra cost on a street car like mine. I'll be on the lookout for a decent 2.3L Whipple. Polished I'm hoping. I'm still gathering ideas right now. Hope to get DRs on by next year and spray away in 2nd gear at least. Already bought a better N2O solenoid and I'm upping the pill size.
I never did get my brakes painted so maybe this year.
I deff want to get some nitrous hardline made up for my twin purge setup on the hood. Anyone know someone that does that stuff? More to come. :beer:

Man there's a lot of things i would like to do, but i don't want to spend too much money. Here's a list of things i would like to do:

Rear upper/lower controls arms
Subframes
Maybe a new hood
Saleen wing
NX 100 shot
T56 swap (Know a 03 owner going auto after turbo install)

Realistically i'll probably will get the first two done. Should get me in the twelves for sure. Trying to decide which power adder to save up for.....I'm really want a turbo, but will take me a few years of saving to get it. T56 won't come till probably at least summer.
