Learned'd VIII: Less Bewbs, Same Nonsense

[MinisterofDOOM]

Right HERE.

[sx moneypit]

Hell,they are stuck in the mid 60s,kinda like it was here then.

[WDRacing]

Chris doesn't realize his Lincoln is just a much more comfortable of the Delorean time machine...

That's some crazy s*** dude. I've never heard of a town not showing R rated movies.

Sounds like another 2 check marks in the, "I don't like it here" category bro.

After looking at the MAP, you're pretty close to Yellowstone, been there yet? If I ever get out that way we'll have to "hook-up"

Heck, we're gonna be right up the street!

[MinisterofDOOM]

Heck, we're gonna be right up the street!

Yep, near yellowstone and a short drive from Jackson. Also not far from Craters of the Moon (one of the most beautiful non-redrock national parks on earth).

That's probably the best hotel in town. Big hot tub.

[nissangirl74]

Where in the cornbread hell in Idaho are you living where they don,t show R rated movies,Chris!!!???

Seriously!??! I lived in the Buckle of the Bible belt for over 30 years and they had no issue with showing Rated R movies.

[Dattebayo]

So I get to drive half an hour to Idaho Fails and pay $10.50 to watch the movie in what would barely qualify for dollar theater status back home? I don't smegging think so.

I am so wrong for this town.

Well, count the blessings you have:

#1. Half an hour drive is a cake walk.

#2. $10.50 is an amazing theater price. Here it's $12.50 at matinee and regularly $16 for a ticket. Buying online gets you a $2 reduction, but you still have to wait in line to get the tickets.

#3. DOLLAR theater? What's that?

1: Back in Utah, half an hour brought a half dozen different top-class theaters into reach.

2: None of them were more than $10.50 for a ticket. In fact, the two best theaters in that area are $9.25 or under per ticket unless you're talking 3D/IMAX.

3: It's a crappy outdated theater showing out-of-date movies that families with 13 kids go to because they had 13 kids and thus can't afford anything ever unless it's for a dollar apiece. I.E. Not for me.

So, you see, it's a step down all around. Movie choices are restricted. Tickets are vastly more expensive for theaters that are vastly inferior. And the half-hour drive, rather than being on well-groomed eight-lane Utah highways, is across 2-lane surface streets where speed limits are accepted as end-of-the-world panic situation emergency speeds only.

With the cost of movies these days... I'd rather;

Morning folks. Allergies are kicking my a**. This stuff SUCKS. Can't wait for winter.

[WDRacing]

Morning Ray Ray!

I haven't had any allergy problems all summer, and just now things got crucial. My sinuses are angry and taking it out on my head.

EXACTLY! Its like someone flipped a switch and said BAM, SUCK IT! Its brutal I'm taking 2 Claritin knock-offs a day to keep it tolerable. The a/c in my room is really helping though.




Alll right guys- I need your penetrating lube of choice (no, not for wiminz). The alignment folks said the cam bolts were seized. I don't really believe them given that they did such a piss poor job aligning the front where all of the cam bolts do move. However, I did turn two of them when working on the suspension, so again, I think the goodyear folks just suck. Were they tough? Yes, but not impossible, especially since two of them were loosened up.

As a result, a new appointment with a reputable business has been scheduled. BUT, just to be sure, I've been hitting them with PB Blaster all weekend. Anything else you guys suggest I hit them with? I hear things about Kroil, but that seems to only be available by mail order.

[EZcheese15]

If PB Blaster doesn't do it, I'd recommend an acetylene torch.

[Kompresshun]

Ditto to what Torry said. If PB won't do it, you're gonna need to torch it.

Mornin' Gents. I need moar sleep.

[frapjap]

The only reason I've stayed away from the torch thus far is for the bushings.
I'll try to torch it myself after work and at least try loosening them up before I go to the good shop. 2 days worth of PB and a torch should make those puppies easier to spin. I also drove the car today so some movement in the control arms may help work in the lube.

Also forgot my jack was behind the car and ran it over this morning. Fail.

[Dattebayo]

PB followed by MAPP gas, impact socket with 1/2" breaker bar and cheater pipe is my method.

Something about the combination just works every time. Maybe because it's absolutely nuts? lol

That sounds eerily similar to my usual go-to.

[Dattebayo]

Well every bolt in the suspension of the truck or the S12 needed that combo. The Sentra just needs some napalm and a crowd.

Morning fellas.

Only some luck in the bolts last evening. Got 4/8 to turn which is better than what the idiots at the Goodyear could do, based on what they adjusted. Soaked them down again yesterday and again this morning. Started spraying into the junction on the inside of the lower A arms for good measure. One of the toe bolts in the rear will probably never move. I'm tempted to snap the head off the stupid thing, force it out, and just replace it. No torch yet, afraid of cooking the bushings.

[nissangirl74]

At some point you have to decide what's worth more. The hours you spend trying to loosen them without the torch vs the cost of a set of bushings. Good luck!

Morning folks!
One more bolt free'd up! 3 to go!

Also, through a local third gen board, theres a guy who will do the alignment with me at his shop. I'm really happy about this because if a couple are still frozen we can use a torch on the spot and he won't have to feel bad using the torch and potentially snapping a bolt since I'll be the one heating it. Time to buy some extra bolts!

[frapjap]

Morning crew! A whole day without a new post. Must be one helluva week!

[sx moneypit]

Mornin' Ray!
Been kinda' dead in here,i have been busy as s*** at work!

[frapjap]

isn't a/c season nearly over?

[WDRacing]

Morning peeps.

[sx moneypit]

Then the wastegate decided it would start leaking, so i have to get it off and see what is going on,i wanted to change the spring in it anyway.
