Hey, I've met you a couple times... I used to work at that gas station in Hardin Valley and I was usually in my Mk III Supra.

Currently I'm working 8 hours a day in an on-campus computer lab. Considering it's summer, in those 8 hours, I might do 15 minutes of actual work.

Since I'm not taking classes... well... ***** TIME!

I have a favor to ask, would anyone happen to have a pilot bearing removal tool? I'm going to be pulling my tranny in a few weeks and replacing my pilot bearing. If I had the proper tool it would help a lot.

If you would feel unsafe with lending it we can work something out for security purposes. I'd hope you wouldn't... but I understand how people can be .

I might head to the Dragon that weekend... although that might be suicide considering the traffic and law enforcement, so I dunno.

Maryville here. 1989 TII. The Dragon is ok, I like Foothills Parkway better. It's much faster, catch that thing at the right time and man you can fly! Plus, take that little road with the signs right before the lookout rock, and then take a right whenever it comes into question on which way to go, and you'll find a road that zig-zags down the mountain with like 4 or 5 or more wide open hairpins, like some World Rally Championship type stuff. Lots of fun! I'm not too confident on my abilities quite yet to use those roads to thier full potential, but I'd love to follow if someone is ever out this way for a drive.

you can rent a pilot bearing removal tool at advance auto parts. you pay up front and when you return the tool you get your money back.

If they work. From what I've read they require you to grind them down or something. Oh well...

Anybody interested in setting up a parts trading system? Website, forum, email...something along those lines.

I have some extra stuff and will probably be needing some stuff soon. I'm poor so I can't really buy stuff, but I have tradable stuff

Damn transmission

I race some gyu in a dark FD (it was night) in Knoxville the night ebfore a VOLS game in my audi S4. It had exhaust and 2 double gauge pod. I pulled pretty easily. I wanted to figure out if something was messed up with it or if it was mostly stock. Just curious who it was, Anyone remember me? Blue, modded audi S4, Rs4 body, black wheels.

There's a somewhat abandoned FD sitting at the Mazda dealership on the Motor Mile. The rep I talked to said it had been sitting there since he started, over a year. It's red and looks like a clean body but the paint is faded and sun damaged. Bleached white in a few spots. Might be worth checking out for someone who could afford it.
