I got two nice bolt shaped dents in my bumper

2/24/2012 10:49:06 PM

great way to get your car keyed, IMO.

Personally, I'd do something more evil that I've come up with that I think very, very, very, few (if anyone) has ever thought of.

2/24/2012 11:34:14 PM

Well I'd like to hear it. That asshole has the gayest custom plate I've ever seen...and the thing is in his mommies name.

Also, how do you run into a parked car and not even realize it?

removed my front license plate holder.


next stop - blackout kidney grills, blackout taping the chrome trim, and replacing the chrome text with ... you guessed it, black text

3/1/2012 7:26:26 AM

black is sooo overrated

especially the 'murdered out' look

3/1/2012 7:59:17 AM

with a tomato red car, I don't think he's in danger of being murdered out
however, I also, am not a fan of the chrome kidneys and changed them to black on the 540. I'm mostly indifferent to the lettering on the back

3/1/2012 8:42:50 AM

^^^ what's this dickhole driving

you're going to tape over aluminum trim?

why not sell the trim for ~$500, buy my wood trim for $make-offer and profit?


[Edited on March 1, 2012 at 11:48 PM. Reason : nm i imagine you're talking about the exterior trim...post pics when done ]

Smacked the starter with a 3/8" ratchet handle. Has been hard starting recently, sometimes sounding like the battery is low on the first attempt, then normal immediately after on the second attempt. Then finally today went from the slow wur-wur-wur to just click click.

Good rap rap on the starter and she's right as rain!

still have the mazda6, blue in color

but in this instance I am talking about my 335i, red in color

3/2/2012 7:57:09 AM

new, stiffer AFC spring in black truck... arm movement is near linear with boost pressure now up to 42psi (~max boost)


my previous scenario moved rather rapidly with any boost signal and went to full fuel at ~22psi, which put it at a significant disadvantage for lower-mid throttle boost lag/response

3/2/2012 8:23:18 AM

kicked up mid-rpm boost to make a flat hp curve.... clutch started slipping..

looks like an organic with a uber heavy pressure plate can't hold anymore.

3/2/2012 8:28:55 AM

need dat 'glide, yo


jk

3/2/2012 8:36:48 AM

lol awd w/ a glide... hmmm... interesting concept...
lol

3/2/2012 8:50:57 AM

^you see recent HR magazine issue?

twin turbo 572 BBC powered .... shit cant remember, but it was rear engine and awd!

3/2/2012 10:00:37 AM

i think that's correct (old project... it seems)

http://www.nelsonracingengines.com/cars-and-projects/2000hp-008.html

there's another... two different numbers though ?

3/2/2012 10:25:53 AM

NRE gets soo much press attention but i really think that pro-line is a better engine builder.

3/2/2012 8:56:46 PM

new brake fluid (& clutch), new pads, and replaced one caliper b/c it was seized and ruining the pads

bedding brakes is fun

3/15/2012 4:12:27 PM

3/21/2012 1:01:38 PM

^what's that gauge for? Gotta rubberneck like hell from drivers seat, no?

3/21/2012 2:02:30 PM

haha it's not bad. it's for oil pressure and it gives something for my passenger to look at

3/21/2012 2:38:14 PM

Decided to change out my ventilation blower fan motor last night...

What a pain in my ass. It was described online as an easy project; that is not the case. My service manual (which is model year correct) wasn't 100% accurate and caused a fair amount of confusion. Then after disconnecting and unscrewing everything the blower unit did not want to drop down from under the dash. Using brute force I finally got it free, and when it let loose I did a good job slicing open my wrist on a sharp edge. Then when slapping the new motor in place I see that the wires don't match up with the plug from the OEM motor...great Decided to just put the damn thing back together and splice the wires later. Naturally getting the blower assembly back into position under the dashboard was even worse than it's removal.

And given that it's a 20 year old car there were lots of plastic snaps that had broken unbeknown to me over time, as well as 2 integral foam gaskets of sorts that disintegrated upon touch, lol

After work today the job will be done!

3/30/2012 8:41:03 AM

^did the civic's blower motor around christmas 2009.... what a disaster.

3/30/2012 8:50:12 AM

you just destroyed a uncracked 240 dash to put that gay gauge over there on the passenger side? there are like 200000000 x options for gauge placement on 240's that would be more useful and not have destroyed the dash.

3/30/2012 9:57:54 AM

^^glad it wasn't just me!

3/30/2012 1:19:38 PM

^ heh, the miata blower motor was 3-4 screws and it just fell out.

I needed an extra power oulet and an AUX input for teh s2000

Finally got my 66 Bronco out of the garage. Took out the roll cage and took an angle grinder to it. It was a full family cage now it's missing the back half. I'm going to weld a couple bars tomorrow to make it fastback style. I've got a bikini top on the way.

I'm going for this look:


I also installed a new Sony head unit - it was the cheapest one at Best Buy with a usb input for my iPhone. Also replaced the turn signal fuse which was a pain in the ass to find in that rat's nest of wires.

3/31/2012 8:23:27 PM

Oh goddam. That looks good.

I almost had a early bronco as my first car but it was scary with all bias ply tires.

3/31/2012 8:50:50 PM

^ no kidding - that thing looks great

3/31/2012 8:57:24 PM

need to get my winders tinted. Is TVP still the TWW go-to?

4/1/2012 2:45:11 PM

I'd go through TVP again.

4/1/2012 3:56:48 PM

had my wife's car done at TVP. excellent work, excellent service, nice dude. i'll be taking my truck there.

4/1/2012 3:59:21 PM

Finished off the Integra's blower motor this afternoon.

Then gave the S2000 a good washing

And then this...



FML, foot slipped off the clutch, car lunged forward and hit pole 8 feet in front of car. I'm guessing at least 5 grand in damage. Obligatory I'm a dumbass...

4/1/2012 10:30:52 PM

See dude that sucks, please don't go to the auto camp now.

4/1/2012 10:54:24 PM

auto camp = automatic transmission? NEVER!

nonetheless...

4/2/2012 11:12:35 AM

Damn pat. I can't imagine how pissed you are. I hope you are alright. Sorry to see that happen to such a beautiful car...

I almost cried

4/2/2012 3:47:11 PM

Good time to get yourself out of red

4/2/2012 4:07:43 PM

What's that?

Not a chance this car is totaled.

4/2/2012 4:13:06 PM

Painting half the car . No more red!

You're looking at an easy 4k there.
