Ahh, nevermind. It was the damn fusible link.

I didn't notice the door open dinger wasn't working until last. That should have been my first clue!

People drive me crazy. Especially the kind of ***hole who yells "Slow down!" at other drivers. Oh, sorry, I didn't see that radar gun you were holding. Oh, you DIDN'T have one? So you have NO EFFING IDEA how fast I was going? You're just judging based on your own entirely unskilled guesswork? Interestingly, I happened to be using this device that comes equipped on all vehicles called a "Speedometer." It indicates how fast I am going. And even MORE fascinating is the fact that, nearly every single time I have this yelled at me, I am not only NOT driving too fast, but actually travelling considerably more slowly than "reasonable" or even the posted limit. So take your "Slow down" and take a hike in front of a speeding Peterbilt. Entitled, self-righteous, condescending, impositional a$$.

Today, I was driving along a side road linking several business strip parking lots. There was a T-intersection. I was travelling in uninterrupted lane opposite the cross-road (the top of the "T", I guess). A car at the cross-road decided not to look after stopping and nearly pulled in front of me (turning left). Some other idiot woman in an SUV travelling the opposite direction from me had stopped to let him go (who follows right-of-way rules--nevermind the fact that he had a stop sign and she didn't--just make it up and hope everyone understands!!!!). As I swerved to dodge the moron, the idiot woman yelled at me "SLOW DOWN!". I was doing TEN MILES PER HOUR. TEN. AND NEVERMIND THAT ANYWAY, BECAUSE HOW THE FLAMING f*** DOES MY SPEED HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT SOME s*** JUST TRIED TO T-BONE ME???? DAMN, people are so irredeemably horrible. f*** monstrous d!ck.

A few weeks ago, I was driving down a 35mph farm road (with homes along it) that leads back to my neighborhood. I live in the middle of nowhere. This 35mph road branches off of a more major road with 45 and 40mph speed limits at varying points. Everyone drives too fast on it. There's often a city cop in a Taurus with the worst plastic hubcaps I have ever seen in my wildest nightmares parked stealthily behind a tree.
I don't speed on it.
As I was driving on this particular occasion, an old woman in a horse-drawn rickshaw passed me going the other way. She angrily shouted "SLOW DOWN!" at the top of her very angry lungs.
I was doing 30mph.
5 under.

I cannot f*** stand people.

I hate them all.

REally, I have three basic expectations of all humans on earth. Most people fail at all three. They are:
1: Don't be an ***hole.
2: Pay attention to more than just yourself.
3: Make sense.

Chris,thank you for putting that in words that i can only think about as my head explodes.

Relax broseph. It's possible you missed something. Not everyone is always a moron for no good reason. It's not even worth getting riled up over it.

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Sun Sep 13, 2015 11:05 pm

Yeah, you're probably right. I have a really hard time with discourtesy and it sets me off like nothing else. How hard is it to just NOT be a d!ck, though? Instead of yelling and being self-righteous people could just mind their own damn business...

Mind your own business. A phrase that would solve a metric ton of the worlds problems.

So I got a Focus ST. My girlfriend has my Maxima now so it's okay. How's my favorite crew?

I do like those...I need to go fart in one.

ST1. All we had left in stock at my dealership. Love it though. I didn't like the way the Recaros felt anyway. However, the stock audio falls flat on its face.

Post by **numbnuts240** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 4:58 am

the st2 recaros are different from the st3 recaros. mine (st3) were a tad tight at first, but they broke in and are comfy as s*** now. i got speakers for days, so i don't have any issues with audio. i'm not any type of audiophile, either, so it suits me just fine.

Post by **King Ranzo** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 6:30 am

Yeah I sat in the ST3 Recaros and they were just too tight. And yeah I'm a pretty big audiophile so not having at least a bit of bass is driving me bonkers.

I'm getting the Freektune stage 1 package for my birthday and that's probably gonna be the end of my modding of this car for a while.

from what i gather, the oem intercooler isn't the most efficient thing on the car, even though it's a factory front mount. something to consider, especially with you being in florida.

Yeah. Probably gonna jump on the fattest intercooler I can find sometime next year before "summer". Seeing as "summer" is almost over here, it'll be a little bit cooler down here so I won't be as worried about it.

Fuel pump was diening on my LS8. Replaced it today. EASIEST JOB EVER. Didn't really even need any tools. Like most Nissans, there's a pass-through under the rear seat. But the rear seat has hand-release latches to remove, meaning no bolts. The pump itself is secured by a plastic screw rim. The hose and harness connectors all come off easily by hand (made easier with a flathead, though).

This was my first time doing the job with only a quick reference of pictures online, and it took me maybe an hour while fiddling around, and half of that was figuring out how to route the crossover hoses, which was the one odd part of this job:
There are TWO pass-throughs rather than one in Nissans. One at each front corner of the fuel tank (each end of the rear seat bench). There is a fuel level sending unit under each, with a pair of crossover lines running from the pump (passenger side) to the secondary sender (driver side). You have to route the hoses through the tank, and the tank pinches off pretty narrow in the middle to clear the driveshaft/diff/exhaust. So I ended up shoulder-deep in the (foolishly full) gas tank groping for the lines, which tended to curl toward the rear instead of across the front of the tank. Finally got them, though.

Buttoned everything back up and she started right up. Successful saturday!

SWEEEEEEEEET!

Looks GROOD in black! I think it needs some different wheels, though. Something a little cleaner with a bit more depth to them.

Thanks dude

. Yeah the black on these cars is such a gorgeous black. And honestly, I think these wheels look gorgeous, but I might upgrade them.

the tuxedo black is tits. i clay barred and put a fresh coat of wax on mine yesterday. after i was done i just sat looking at it sparkle.

so i went to a concert on saturday at the casino. the temptations, the commodores, and the jacksons. not a terrible show, but not fantastic either. i think my favorite part was watching old white people dancing with zero rhythm. unfortunately, michael couldn't make it. i think he's sick, or something.

I really never thought I'd love a black car like I love this car. I just need mudflaps. I washed my car yesterday, it rained, and now I hit some puddles and have water spots everywhere. Most of which could've been prevented by mud flaps.

And yeah I'm quite certain the medication he's been taking made him sick. Something like that.

Post by **numbnuts240** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 10:51 am

i went with the zl1 mud/rock guards. they're subtle and do the job. it's fwd so i think the huge rally style flaps look silly and don't really belong.

I kinda like the big, gaudy mudflap look.
