I'm doing a little experiment. i get about 28MPG driving too and from work, and the Accord has a timing system that will adjust for premium fuel. I'm running a couple tanks of premium through it to see if MPGs increase. supposedly it will tune itself for around an extra 5BHP, and people report MPG gains.

 

I've driven about 100 miles with premium in there and t already feels like it runs a bit smoother. might be the placebo effect, but we'll see in a week or so when i burn more gas.

I run nothing but 93 in the 9-5

 

Especially going to need to when I go tune

[RevoltTrain]

I may just go stage 3 and get a new downpipe while at it, (I'll end up doing it eventually anyway) then upgrade my intercooler the next paycheck?

 

Planned on taking my car to an exhaust shop for some exhaust work anyway, so doing a full straight pipe to begin with then a Cherry Bomb Vortex if it's too loud.

 

Only thing is, I'll probably have to run open downpipe for 2 weeks. 

 

I mean, it'll sound good. But daily

98 RON is 93 AKI afaik

 

the us actually uses a different system from AKI. But the numbers are SUPER CLOSE we use the (R+M)/2 method

 

but generally I just assume it's AKI because it's only a couple

decimal points off and I think it's higher not lower

Just keep applying. It takes a while

I didn't even attach an Resume on literally any of the jobs I applied for, and almost all emailed or called me back.

 

Maybe one or two didn't

seriously man, i'm starting to think that's just luck, because i fill out my applications with everything and even attach resumes and shit, but like nobody wants to call me back and it pisses me off so much.

when i've been doing it for a year now with no reply or a denial, it gets old real quick. i'm so close to just giving up, even if i'm just trying to get a chicken shit mcdonald's job. i'm mad even fucking mcdonalds fucking denied me a job.

Having transport helps I must say so you can apply to stuff farther away

I was unemployed for three years after the saab collapse. 

With no experience and no finished education you can expect it to take a long time.

yeah but now i think it's the worst time to apply bc like so many people are applying for summer jobs especially teens like me since they got nothing better to do over summer so that's what they do. and as far as transport, i can bike to work, but once i get insurance i can start driving to work, so i just say i have transportation even if i can't drive yet.

Maybe if one or two jobs got back to me I'd chuck it up to luck. But when it was close to 20 replies I'd say it wasn't

You've really got to put yourself out there, show your assets off to the consumer and be able to do the job no matter how dirty.

 

I am not liable if you become a hooker.

[RevoltTrain]

I think I'm gonna go ahead and make the leap to go Stage 3 out of the box, because I'll eventually do it anyway and doing it all at once will be cheaper

 

So increase of MPG, and gonna be chilling at 265hp and 285 torque

 

Hype hype

so just wondering, how did you make your application look like job worthy? like how did you make it so when the manager sees it he's/she's like "wow, that's a seriously good potential worker right there. I might just call him." because i keep fill my applications that make me likely to get the job, but like no replies from anyone.

I just answered the questions on the online questionnaires properly and they were interested
