[DubsSuck]

I want to put my block off plates on but its too cold.

IM GOING TO TUSCAN IN JANUARY!!

[Frank E Bones]

IM GOING TO TUSCAN IN JANUARY!!

Damn dude your going to Italy!? Sweeeet. LOL, you probably meant Tucson, AZ right?


I just did my oil change in the rain, fack it. Its gonna rain for most of the week and I didnt feel like waiting. Besides I played soccer on Sunday morning in the rain.

IT...WAS...AWESOME!!!!!!

[brizanden]

I want to pull some shims for my valvetrain to get rid of the engine's tapping noises, and also pick up some black interior stuff.

i think its really time consuming to set all those clearances right. a machine shop wanted a dec amount of money to rebuild my head just cause of the shimming part.

[homeslicej2]

I used to do that...I stopped because I got tired of all the editing the day after.

Surprisingly, they were all well written. I had a really good buzz, but I wasn't trashed. I try to avoid that. I get hungover really easily, so I try to only drink until I have that really good buzz. Sidenote, idahotuner is parting out his S13 had an unexpected bill come up it seems.

Doesn't seem that hard.

[brizanden]

lol yea.

[Razi]

LOL Frank you crazy fool.

I'm trying to replace my front main seal and put in the Quest alternator.
I wish I had a TV or something in the garage so I can watch TV while peacefully working on my car.

[motoman399]

razi, you just need a few beers jk jk

[Razi]

Once I played a movie on my laptop as I worked on my rear brakes, it was great.

[motoman399]

hmm the most i can do is listen to music, even then i dont hear it half the time. i cant do the whole drink and work on car thing though. it either turns into drinking, or working on the car lol

[brizanden]

ive taken to getting super blazed and working on mine. sure i constantly forget where my tools are but i get a lot less angry when i have to try stuff over and over again lol.

[Razi]

You know your car is bad if you have to get stoned just to be able to deal with the stress from working on it.

[brizanden]

yeah dude im so f*** sick of working on it i just want to drive it i dont know how people do like 2 year long builds im dying at 9 months of no 240

[Razi]

9 months would kill me too. x_x

[biggie]

Don't feel too bad. Took me about 7 months to do my suspension overhaul/turbo install last year.

[fiznowler]

I want to kat my s13 coupe but I am about to tear down my kouki for a motor swap. I couldn't be 240 less for that long I would go insane. That is the whole reason I bought the coupe is so I wouldn't have to do without. lol

[Chris28]

I hate any sort of downtime haha.

I think my oil pump is on it's way out. When I start my car there's no oil pressure for like 10 seconds, then the pump starts whining really loudly and my pressure goes up to about 60 psi. Once the car warms up the noise goes away, but by then my oil pressure is back down to around 10 psi. I'm getting rebuild parts for Christmas, I guess tonight I'll put my spare engine on the stand and start tearing it apart.

[Razi]

Yeah, sounds like it's dieing.
Even at like 200 degree coolant temps, my oil pressure barely falls under 25 psi.

I just took my front crank off and the Autozone seal is the incorrect size.
I ordered from FRsport now, shoulda done that in the first place.

[Frank E Bones]

I think weve all learned that lesson.

[motoman399]

hey i might buy wheels like franks. what do they go for, for just the wheels from the ?touring model? 350z??? ballpark range

[Razi]

350z wheels like mine are like 250-300 bucks including tires.
No idea on the other ones.

[Frank E Bones]

They can be had from 300-500 depending on the condition and if the tires are included or not. I actually traded my 17x9 962's for the ones I have

[motoman399]

hmm thanks. i offered him 300 without tires, he said he isnt sure if he wants to get rid of them yet, but when he does he will let me know. he put some gay les schwab wheels on it lol.

[Frank E Bones]

he put some gay les schwab wheels on it

Ive seen some Z's with a hell of a lot worse wheels than that around here. What these people are thinking getting rid of decent wheels for some even crappier/more sunken wheels ill never know

Good luck finding a set though man

[spooled240]

what i hate to see is when these idiots take their staggered set of anniversary edition 18's for some 20x8 +50 oh god no
