Cross Island roadside assistance appreciated!!!!!

Just wanna thank the forum members that stoped and offered help! I had a friend "tow" me off to Northern Blvd and flatbeded it home from there...see sig.

I'm hoping its the throwout bearing that gave out but it might be the pilot or pressure plate...I'll drop the tranny tomorrow and find out!

What's up man, I'm the guy that was driving the blue FD that stopped. Good luck getting it back up and running again, hopefully it'll make it to Enzos next time without any problems.

Yeah, I recognized the avatar! nice!!!!!! I wish we had met under different circumstances...had a few questions about it! compared to mine yours is VERY quiet! what catback do you have?

Well, i got it towed off to northern blvd and then flatbeded it to my shop...
thanx for stopping! I only wish it had been something a little easier to get to!


Update:

Messed up the wedge collar and snap ring and ran out to time so I have to wait till monday to fix those...otherwise its looking good!!!!!!!!

I got a regular 3" downpipe, a 3" midpipe w/ Borla XR-1 resonator, and a 3" GP Sports Exas Spec II catback. I like the sound and that it's not obnoxiously loud.

done w/ Enzo?????? Dude, I didnt even make it there! guess I'm gonna have to find a priest and reschedule!!

btw, guess who came to the rescue? Nof!!!! gave me 2 sets of wedge colars and clips!!!!!! got it all done but it felt funny...not the tranny but it drove WAY OFF!!! I had to go to class, a hour and a half drive so I decided to leave the FD home and borrow a car from my mother...when I get back tomorrow I'm gonna try to figure out whats wrong with it...

again, at least I can do all the repairs!!!! lol

Nof is a good guy, he's always willing to help someone out. Manny the Borla xr1 is what I installed also, I drove it loud for one day and thats all it took to order one.

Now I'm pissed!!! went to get a bite to eat on Saturday afternoon, and it started acting up....felt like a seal wanted to CRAP OUT on me, i know the feeling so Im shitting bricks right away. I kept it running and kinda nursed it home. felt better after a little while though!

So Sunday after looking around I find that a little movement on the harness and the H2O thermosensor looses signal!!!! So I zip tie the harness and go for a test drive....not a mile from my house the SAME DAMNED COP! gave me a 4 tickets in one shot 3 months ago got me again!!!! Loud exhaust....gave a BREAK cause I fixed most other stuff that was wrong but still...just got it running and again the same cop catches me!!!!! If it wasnt for bad luck I'd have NO LUCK!!!!!!!
