That's not entirely true. They are good at surrendering. They've been getting their asses kicked ever since the Gauls existed.

Tenacious,
You'd rather serve under a democrat than a republican? That's an interesting twist for a military person. Especially Clinton, he was a draft dodging puss. And Gore "invented" the internet. There's a VP for you!! If you have to serve under a democrat, you should back up a little further and think Carter. At least he had a foreign policy that was decent.

Last time I checked it was Clinton who cut all of the military training. Bush Jr. isn't brightest of fellows but he's at least pro-military.

Not yet, mother f'er does not want to come off. It "should" just slide off after you remove the nut after the cotterpin contraption correct?

Basically, yes, it should slide right out with the bearing assembly, are you doing a rear or front wheel hub?

Front right currently. I wil probably have to do the front left afterwards. It's making noise when I spin the wheel as well.

So you pulled the caliper off, pulled off the cotter pin and removed the cap, nut, and inner wheel bearing, and it is still stuck?

You might need to take the whole assembly out and put a block of wood on top of the studs and hammer it out. Sometimes you need a press.

I've seen a few people who needed to heat the hub with a torch while hammering to get it out.

Try something like a flywheel puller if you have one.

'Vert runs! I am now daily driving it, starting tommorow morning.

Turning in the tags on the GXL, selling it to Ken! Bye bye GXL! (not that it's going to move to a different house or anything)

It will be the first plug and play megasquirt car!~

ANYWAY!!!

Current projects (for whoever cares) in order of importance:

1) Button up 'vert (Few things here and there need to be finalized, and the MBC needs to be replaced)
2) Fix Saheed's car (Has a deadline of two weeks)
3) Fix TII (Needs CAT and clutch hydrolics, I already have the parts)
4) Strip down the other two TII cars and sell the parts.

And

WheneverTheLiftIsFree) Pele is doing a full FC suspension swap into his FB
WheneverKenIsFree) Working on the Plug and Play MS for N/A, using the GXL as a test bed, and then when that is done, biulding one for the TII.

Future plans:


- Suspension on the 'vert
- Rebiuld the spare TII engine into a monster
- Biuld a turbine engine

Anyone know where to find a triple gauge pod for the side of the windshield area that actually fits the second gens?

The 240SX is now tentatively sold....

Expect commencement of my plan VERY soon......


Anybody who's looking for an FB, i'd suggest you hit me up soon... Either it's going to get sold for a very reasonable price, or it's getting put away for awhile to be restored at a later date....
