Any idea of when another drift event will be taking place? I didnt hear about the one last week and I'm sure my son would get a kick out of that.

Is a stationary bearing supposed to go on the gear or the eccentric?

Rear stationary gear bearing welded on to eccentric....i mean WELDED!!
Had to use a dremel with a thin cutting wheel to remove it. Obviously due to no oil pressure.



In case you are indeed wondering....eccentric was toast. I did laugh like a **** at this since it wasnt my motor!!!! (for once!!)

Apparently, using FD bearings with a FC stationary gear is no bueno...can't use the bearing retainer bolt therefore free to spin and never build oil pressure.

Was kinds funny to see you laugh at my misfortune though....

Four new FC bearings, a new eccentric shaft and counting, gotta inspect everything else today.

I am doing some community service for the past week or so and I have made great strides with the automotive program. Here is one of my students after his first solo, and successful, attempt at assembling all the seals on a rotor....i realized afterwards i should have never said "use liberal amount of vaseline" ....since he replied "it looks like i jerked off an elephant!
Damn rotor was more slippery than a bar of soap at the county jail."

come by the shop tomorow around 1-2pm. 11060 dyer st. ste 13. We are gonna try and work on my 7 and another customers.

On the bright side, we got mine to idle, stop smoking, and drive without boost. After revising the firmware on the tuners computer, we should be able to knock my tune out tommorow. if not, ill have a datalogit this week and can just go from there. feels amazing to drive my car!

As it was stated by tinman...."we need a pic of the cars"
I asked "what the **** for?"
Reply was " it's the only time that 4 rotaries are running in el paso!!!"
That tinman is a funny gringo....and tito has some serious iPhone video and photo skills!!!



(That brown one is a sexy bitch!!)

You hoes had the privilege of being parked next to mine...I gotta be careful, rust from your car rotor may jump and mess up my blue paint. LOOK AT ALL THAT RUST....I mean brown. Rusty bitch is fast though.

rust? bitch, the only thing holding your blue shitbucket together is the 72 layers of aircraft grade Imron paint. **** is so thick it hold metal panels together.

so how far back were you?? (far enough that you couldnt even see the brown bitch's tailights)

My housings were successfully refurbished by Goopy Performance, and should be shipping out on Monday along with my new rotors, and rebuild kit. Just a few more weeks and she'll back on the road!
