that sucks

 

well damn you uncle. fix your gimpy clutch pedal.

dereck hope you get your T2 fixed soon. and lmk if you have problems with your pilot bearing.

 

yeah it's the pilot bearing. I got a hold of brian and he's getting me all the parts, and a guy named robert is going to throw em on.

I wanted to do, since I don't really have a way to get the car down there, but they say I need a lift.

Either way, I'll b there in two weeks.

 

Glad to hear it will be an easy fix.

 

If you're replacing the pilot bearing, use the correct tool. It'll be a PITA otherwise!

 

You can ask Chris about that one (-_^)b

 

Alright, Me,Eric and Leon can all attest to this....

Last Wednesday, when the 3 of us were waiting for the rest of you yoohus, Some dude in a Pontiac sedan comes in out of nowhere, parks his car next to us and randomly asks us if we knew of any "Domestic clubs" locally, When we were unable to help him, The dude just gets back into his car and speeds off into the parking lot and all the way down Beach blvd all frustrated and ****...I can tell that if the dude had the chance to trade his car for an old ***,FWD Honda, he'd probably do it just so he can have an "Import"...But yeah, apparently, he's never heard of searching for local car clubs on google?...What an ***!

 

yeah about that...um you fail. Uncle? you talking to me chris? Good to hear the FC will be present at the next meet derek see you then as for mine hopefully by the end of the week.

 

By the way, Who here is ready and excited to pay over $4 for a gallon of gas by this summer?

 

 

no, i was attempting to throw off Grandpa...

ATTN: anyone with pilot bearing trouble LMK I'll tell ya stories

 

lol iono what your problem is but mine came off like cutting butter with a samurai sword! LOL

LSD-RYU hey bro, just so you know, you dont need a lift to get the job done. i dont think i met you so dont think this is an attack/offense or anything just giving my opinion, if you have any wrenching skills and an extra pair of hands, you can drop the tranny under the car thats sitting on four jackstands. i've done it myself, and put the tranny back in myself before so yahz, iono who told you that you need a lift but.... you dont hope this will help you out bro!

WOOO WOOOOOOOO

 

Buy those 6 ton large jack stands from Harbor Freight. They'll get your car high enough for easy working underneath.

 

^amen to that, i took out my automatic tranny that way to replace seals, man was it a pain, it's twice as heavy as a manual, I'm looking forward to a manual
my car is too low to even use a jack right now
I'm probably going to take off my diffuser until my car is ready for paint
I hate driving all nervous and stiff on the freeway, never know when a bump will take it out

 

That's a nice civic chinkster!

 

Nice radiator cap...................................

 

Well, it was a weird turn of events. I got a message from someone on the forums. Turned out he was the PO of my car way back in the day. He did the swap and such. Then parted out the engine. That's when Brian (japan2la) got a hold of it. They ended up talking about me, and Brian called to tell me he got a hold of him.

Anyways, long story short. Brian said he had all the parts, and the guy who helped him put the car together can get it everything on in a couple hours this saturday. I'm gonna throw on a new centerforce clutch, and 12lb flywheel while I'm at it.

I wanted to do it myself, but I can't beat that deal. I just have to figure out how to get it down there... any of you with a truck and trailor that wants to drag my *** to long beach, I'll pay gas money and lunch!

 

If you have AAA they could tow it for you. If you have the premier membership they'll tow it up to 200 mi once or twice a year for free. It's a good thing to have if you've got a rotary.

 

Yeah I got it, but I've already used it like a million times lol. Once when I ran out of gas in the N/A, another when my rear end went, twice when I locked my keys in my car, then this one where I got towed home 88 miles.

I think they're gonna charge me like 60 bucks this time. I'll call and ask...

 

That's what they're there for.

 

Damn... I still need AAA

 

60 bucks from V-Ville to LB sounds really reasonable to me. i paid 60 bucks for 3 miles a couple weeks ago.

 

Yeah, I'm gonna do it. Just bought my boost controller, 720cc's, and another hose/flange for my BOV. Bwaha, I'll be done with a lot of work by next meet hopefully.

 

just stopping by may have to put smokie jr on hold im trying to get my own place this month and mabe get a second job
