including several fuel pumps
I believe

 

hey guys, does anyone have a passenger side fender for an fb they could sell me? Color doesnt matter, just needs to be in good condition! let me know if youve got one.

 

oh yea does anyone have a spare s5 fuel rail laying around. I need the Pulsation dampener off it since uhh yea, I don't know when mines going to go.

 

Surfing rx7club forums while in class...god I love VCU lol.

 

Not surfing the forums in class because of the lame HCPS internet blocking. Meh, I guess I'll go learn something.

 

you fail @ http tunneling. Never let blocking ruin your day; ssh my friend. If you don't the you are teh n00b.

 

I know a couple folks that have houses over that way. Some of them may look like crap from the outside but they are actually built pretty well - especially compared to todays standards.

 

so what time is this starbucks meet thing?

 

usually 7:45-8 until whenever. I havent been in a while and I am hoping to make it this Friday. I went by the new starbucks location a while back and no one was there, and since then I havent been back.

calypso - do you live near VCU? I am going there too and live on the corner of BLV and W. Grace.

 

the friday before last it was friggin packed down their (Starbucks)

 

I live on porter St. Near Church Hill. It's across the river near 360

 

I cannot believe this ****.

Called the trans shop yet again.

They apparently can’t get the right parts to rebuild the trans – they also apparently can’t use the internet cause I found the kit $127 from a place in SC called RX-7 World, they also sell rebuilt transmission for $600 + core deposit of $300

So the jackasses ordered another junkyard trans – which I told them at the outset I do not want

The guy also got belligerent with me and dropped a few F’bombs my way – I stayed calm though.

They have YET to give me a price for anything and I’ve called at leat twice a week for the last month.

Somethin tells me I can’t afford these guys.

 

Damn, man, sorry about your troubles. I've got an S4 high mileage, but rebuilt tranny I'm about to swap out. I'm nearly positive it will all work, just different gear ratios? One of the seals in the tranny makes a noise when cold, but fine when warm. I thought it was a pilot bearing, but its not. It goes away when the clutch is IN.

Let me know if I can help ya.

 

Sound like it is the throwout bearing.

 

I couldv'e sworn it was for a while, but I read up... and apparently a worn throw out bearing will produce noise when the clutch pedal is depressed. Free tranny!

 

unfortunately the car is a 100 miles away from here

 

Have you given them any money? If not, I would find a trailer that you could borrow from someone and go out there to pick it up.

 

We'll see how it goes today, Momz is gonna talk to those guys (since she lives 5 minutes awy from them) and see if she get a mor reasonavle responce.
Can the car be move with no tranny in it? - is the axle suspended still by a yoke or something?
Anybody know anyone with a trailer and would be up for a weekend ninja mission?

In continued bad car luck the FD lost a head light cover last night while driving home through the Fan. I circle back but it had be run over several times by the time I got to it.
I ordered a new vented FEED cover from Corksport as a replacement.

 

some more
what a difference a day makes
the guy out there in Stuarts Draft has cooled off and was a bit more reasonable this morning
the trans he ordered is $350 - i can live with that
he is going to crate the old trans for me
and I'm gonna see if I can learn how to rebuild a trans with the soon to be spare trans
which I suppose wouldn't be a bad thing to have - the way i drive

 

Man, I'm having a hard time finding a passenger side fender... anyways, my brother is selling a s5 motor, recently rebuilt with only a few thousand miles on it. Someone, let me know if you have a fb passenger fender or want to buy the motor

...i want to get my car driveable!

 

well you could try Mitchum Enterprises 379-1239 - he has several junker FB's, he might be willing to sell you a fender
or Mariah Motorsports sells widebody kits for those with deep pockets

My turn signals are working again!! Props going out to Jayson...thanks for hooking me up with those parts today.

I also have most of my new interior installed along with the new sticky tires.

Who is going to Starbucks tomorrow night? I am torn between the Busch Race, hanging out with the girlfriend, and going to Starbucks......i may start a poll.

 

YAY clutch and fd fuel pump just came in! I'm trying to head up to the starbucks tomorrow night, but may not be so early in the night.

Has anyone been to Russels JY in Dinwiddie? I've heard its hardly known, and is like a jackpot.

 

argh its impossible to find an s5 front bumper in good condition >_<

 

go to starbucks, I will be there :P we can hang out, thanks again for putting in my cruise control btw.
