    Most of my photos died with my note 3. Heres some I took after I got the new phone. Most of these were in for basic service. Please keep these inside the forum, and if you have any questions about my illustrious career don't hesitate to ask. Seinfelds is the blue and white rs, and I only adjusted the valves on it and changed oil. It's easily a 1.3 million dollar car that he never drives. That's also the only one out of all the cars you see I wasn't allowed to drive. The most fun car I drove was a 944 turbo that making in the 350whp range. God that car drove itself. I'm sorry I said a few things about cars you didn't like but don't take everything so personal. I can dig up some more if you guys are interested in older 911s. 70 percent of our business is water cooled. Let's go back to being friends.
    Edit: I just added the photo of the road and track writer who's car I helped fix. He was arrogant and had absolutely no clue. Again don't post this Elsewere or I'm getting an angry phone call.

    My previous car. Did a long roadtrip before I sold it. It lacked power and drank oil, but I still loved it.

    Went on a Nasho Run today. It's basically a long drive up and down the twisties with lots of banked corners, tight hairpins, elevation changes, and glorious straights where I hit a blistering 80km/h, obviously sticking to the speed limit. MX5 performed beautifully, keeping up with my mate's GT86 and not holding up the R32 GTR behind me much either. Nothing broke aside from losing power steering on the second half of the drive from the accessory belt coming loose. Turned out that the tensioner was missing its nut, lel.

    Saw this thread accidentally.
    Decided to describe a memory. That was 2008 (or 9), and my dad took me to local racing event. At that time he had JZX100. I remember he decided to make a drag race with his m8 on Chrysler 300c. He won it, but the race ended with a deflated tire :oops:.
    Now he has `03 Touareg and drives me every morning to school. He said he will buy me something like clio rs or astra opc when i will be 18yo.

    So do you have a Röyal Nashö sticker yet?

    Also, any chance you have more pics (or a link to more pics) of that R32?

    Noticed the other day that the MB has started to consume oil and leak coolant from an unknown location...and I still have the surging idle going on.
    It's going to the shop. I can't take this anymore.

    I installed a set of LED interior lights on my E46 M3. In my opinion, it's one of the best upgrades you can do for under $15.

    That looks pretty. I installed LEDs in my interior too. So cheap, yet makes everything look amazing.

    Today I got these rear Brembo discs and pads in the mail, so I'll have fun installing them in the coming days.

    Well, ordered some parts. Spark plugs, OVP relay, a hose for the PCV and a new thermostat.
    In the future, there will be a new radiator and valve stem seals on the list.

    Went with my buddy to the junkyard today, to find some bits for his project truck, a 76 K10 with a 79 cab, an 85 bed, and fenders and doors from many different trucks.

    We're putting a center bolt TBI 350 in it, (just because its been stuck under his bench for the last 2 years) that originally came out of an 89 Caprice, but at the moment its just a short block with a terrible bottom end knock.

    At the junkyard we were looking for an SM465 bellhousing, crossmember, and driveshafts. and we found all of that, and more, we found an 86 K20 that had a factory hydraulic clutch, unfortunately it was laying on its side, someone had come for the transfer case before us. I'm thinking we might be able to flip it back over without going all the way back to the shop to get someone with a loader to do it, well my buddy just grabs the top of the door, and just flips the truck over all on his own. (Lets put him on the list of people not to phuck with)

    So anyway we left with a bellhousing, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, both drivershafts, and the pedal assembly for $30



    On my personal stuff, if I can find a coil spring compressor I can get the lift on the sliver truck tomorrow. Thats about it.

    I sold the black Golf3 Variant. It had some problems with leaking oil and rust at the underbody.

    I got myself an Audi 80, 1.8l 90PS with only 120000km on the clock. (Car is 27years old) 20160128_164124.jpg

    YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS BATCH

    ...


    Anyway.


    A4 is still very kill. Tore it apart to find the leak, seems to be coming from the hose leading from the thermostat, which was stuck fast to the block and refused to budge even with lots of leverage and swearing. Will replace it somehow and hope for the best. As it stands, the MX5 is still the daily driver which is terrifying.

    Clutch? You mean it's gonna be a manual? That's ultra cool, so many projects these days have autos.

    Well the fact that an SM465 is a 4 speed manual, that does kind of necessitate the use of a clutch.

    He got the truck from his Grandpa who had parked it in 97, because it needed brake pads. It had a 350 and a TH350 that hadn't run since 97, we brought it home, put some gas in the carb, threw a battery in it, and it started, and ran pretty good, albeit smokey. Then his grandpa decided he wanted to keep the engine, which he still hasnt come and got. But even though that TH350 had less than a 1000 miles on it, we decided that automatics are boring, and that it needed a 4 speed.


    Funny, even though you look at the truck now it has a complete body on it, the only original piece of the green 76 is the majority of the frame, behind the rear axle it was pretty toasty, so it was chopped off and replaced.



    These picture sare how it was when we drug it to his house, I dont have a recent one yet, but I'll try to get one soon.

    Replaced the leaking radiator with a spare I found on a local scrap yard. Another job well done.
