Ouch ^^

 

I was stoned and posted in the wrong thread.

I got to ride along a bunch of times with Matt Chin in this beast.


Also Rob Fleming is badass at soldering/wiring so he fixed my old ass power window amplifier. Uhhhhhh my windows work tight now, here is a pic of said stuffs.




Yeah Bill killed it with his crazy stock miata at desoto tonight, Matt Chin was ballin out with displacement and Rob Fleming drove Matt Chin's miata(exact same as Bill's). I got to ride along with all of them many times at desoto tonight, got some great pointers on how to drive my car. I don't drift my car yet but riding with those guys can't be a bad thing for me. haha

 

just put my newish motor in last night took me and 2 friends 45 min to get it bolted down. frist motor swap in a 240 i ever did lol pulled them out before.
1 of my friends does all honda and now wants a 240. and the other friend does big ass trucks with v8's so the swap was fun with there bitching.lol
and today put the alternator on and power steering no ac yet all the belts on.
put the drive shaft on and started to work on the bolting the exhaust back on the header me and a friend were down there and as i was grabing the exhaust to put up there i heard somthing running didnt think nothing of it until a big ass spider the size of my fist i was like ohh shit get out as i was rolling my fat ass out from under it.
and my friend was like wtf ohh shit and then got out. then we lost where the big fucker went. so we stopped working under the car.
and now i have to hook up the heater hoses some how with no room to work with.
and on of the little vacumme hoses broke off the plastic thing i think its for EGR hope i can fix that to 2morrow when i kill the spider lol

 

Fuck spiders man. I feel your pain.

 

It took me an entire weekend straight to do my Nismo subframe bushings. That's after reading about all the different techniques, and making custom tools, too. And no one will spend f-ing $150 to buy my S13 subframe to save themselves the hassle. I guess no one values their time anymore. I make more than that everyday before lunch. /rant /cockyprick

What bushings are you doing? I still have the bushing installer tool that I made.

 

Energy suspension, Im all done, it took me about 6 hours to do it. Thanks for the offer though. Rear two were cake to take out. But the front two were the biggest bitches ever. The first attempt took me 2 hours, with a hammer, some chissles and a air hammer with a cutting tip.
After I found out how it was set up I just used a hack saw to cut through the outer rings then chissled them out. It took 30 minuts for that to work.

Car drives better; no more clunk clunk when I take off or hit the brakes. But im not looking forward to replacing the differential bushings now.

Next week or two im doing the rest of the ES kit with grease fittings. Im going to try and track down some Z32 uprights to save a little corner weight while Im at it..

 

Fuck

Bottom side of this one is even worse.


You can see that this one is starting to do the same damn thing. Its not just the chrome cover pealing off either.

 

thats nuts

 

if it wasnt for the time id have to spend realigning my car, id be all over it.
maybe i should just suck it up.

 

so what can you do about half of your locks not working?

like i know i could just switch handles, but i dont want a different key for each door, ignition, and trunk...
