I mean damn, I have yet to enjoy my car and I'm still plugging away on her. There's at least 5 months of good driving weather left and the best 2 are yet to come! I hope to have the FC up and ready for the best weather in Oct/Nov and a few days in Dec Ya know, just in time to take it apart again

i just cant do it right now, dont have the funds for anything, because if i pull it(which i was intending on doing anyways) i want to do things right, which means:

rebuild it, if possible, replace the bushings with poly ones from pettit(loves me some poly mounts)

i wana ReRemove the trans and put my unit back in because its in better condition, BUT i need new throwout and pilot bearings, i wana buy the puller/installer for that fucking pilot bearing because i hate doing it the other way

i just dont have the cash for it, its too much breaking all at once

ive had the car tuned for like 3 weeks now and havent been able to keep it running properly for over 3 days straight

secondaries, diff, trans, y-pipe

plus i really have to change the windshield since the cracks are spreading, and now i noticed the end tanks on the spoiler are starting to separate like everyone else that has my wing

if you looked at my bank account you would understand

but like i said before, i dont mind that shit breaks, you no it gives me something to do

whats killing me is that its happening all at once

so i decided to repair the fc since i have all the parts already, get her back up and running, and rotate my fd back into hybernation, back up on jackstands she goes, pull the diff out take it to work and see whats inside

I don't know how expensive the poly bushings are but the bearings aren't all that expensive at all. You'd be surprised...... at least for the FC

yeah just cheched..... ~$200

Pilot & T/O bearing are like $70. The removal tool can be had for $25 at auto bone and 5 minutes with a grinder and you're all set

Yeah, that's the problem with modding things..... we talked about it the last time you were here.

I think it's wise to have something reliable becuase just like you're going through, when shit breaks it's nice to just be able to say, fuck it, not now and get back into the DD and not worry about it. but when it's your DD and you need to get to work the next morning it just adds a level of stress that's completely not necessary and detracts from the whole hobby aspect of it. Not to mention you're a fricken ASE tech, you deal with broken shit all the time and then you get to go home and HAVE to deal with it if you want to get to work the next day. I was in a very similar situation when i was younger and I didn't do anything but maintenance to the FC for YEARS becuase of it. One of the reasons that I'm hesitant to get into it full time. Shoe makers shooes man.....

That is exactly why you should keep work life diffrent from you hobbies,my dad taught me how to work on my cars since I was old enough to be in the garage but always told me I don't want you doing this for a living. Great advice and I will follow it unless I get hard up for $ and a job.
