[QUOTE=DPKiller;43062680]e_e What a waste of a perfectly good broken motherfucking stupid ass not worth a shit cup holder that breaks every fucking time you set something larger than a 12 oz drink in the damn thing.

Trying to replace this little shit is a huge pain in the ass: [t]http://puu.sh/5Cdi4[/t] There's so much shit in the way that it will seriously be easier to take the engine out to get to it. And I guess that's what we're gonna do, tomorrow maybe. Me and my dad struggled for like five hours today and all we've done is break two bolts and get one loose. It's impossible to fit any tool on the middle nut on the inside of the bend.

PROGRESS! [url]http://imgur.com/a/HTZ7B[/url] plus album of work.
I never posted the rest of the transmission conversion, here it is. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9gi8xajl.jpg[/IMG] Had to remove the gauges and things to get out the auto pedal box [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/AA1ysNnl.jpg[/IMG] Clutch master in.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/q1MTbdTl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iWgcSvYl.jpg[/IMG] Bit by bit. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UpSDgzgl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SQoSEjul.jpg[/IMG] Until, took bloody ages. I'll invest in or hire a proper jack next time. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0u4U0jrl.jpg[/IMG] That finished dildo shifter. It's been manual for the last couple of months with no issues at all, like it came form the factory like it. But most of my freinds don't understand why I converted it. Bought an engine on Tuesday, L28E (2.8 litre) going to rebuild it when I have more dosh. From a 280ZX (S130) had 240,000 kms on it going to need to change the sump to more forward type.

[QUOTE=sHiBaN;43064516]Clutch, what would be the best alarm system that can incorporate a bunch of sensors? Tilt sensor, GPS tracking, 2 way pager, etc? Where is the best place to hide it and the best way to power it iyo? [/QUOTE] This one's pretty nice: [url]http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_30161_Viper-3303-P-N-3303V-Responder-LC.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_campaign=paid_search_google_pla&scid=scplp3605140&gclid=CM_SnMf3l7sCFbQWMgodTRkA1g[/url] Has 1 mile range with 2 way connection, so the remote freaks out if the alarm goes off. Starter kill, shock sensor, door triggers, trunk trigger, hood trigger. Keyless output operation (I think on those 240s you need to put an actuator in the driver's door), trunk pop if you wanna get fun. For extra sensors, these are nice: Tilt, incase of flatbed theft or rim jackin [url]http://www.amazon.com/Install-Essentials-507M-Tilt-Sensor/dp/B000GAYN3E[/url] Backup battery: keeps the security system energized if the battery cable is cut. Jokes on you, fuckers. [url]http://www.amazon.com/Directed-Electronics-520T-Back-Up-Battery/dp/B000CIY5NS[/url] Don't forget an extra siren or two for under the dash :) [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/121161039734?lpid=82[/url] Smart start w/ GPS. Connects to the unit, stays powered up w/ backup battery... can operate alarm from phone. Also can track via GPS. 2 way connection means you get an alert even if you're remote is out of range. [url]http://www.amazon.com/Viper-VSM250-Smart-Module-Tracking/dp/B00545GGTU[/url] Those are what I consider the most important pieces. You can get prox, too, but those can be more of just a PITA to dial in right [url]http://www.amazon.com/New-DIRECTED-ELECTRONICS-DUAL-ZONE-RADAR-SENSOR/dp/B0009ILFU2[/url] As for the install, the weirder of a place you put it, the more difficult it will be to disable. If you put it.. say, behind a rear interior quarter panel piece, that's a damn good spot. Under the center console is OK, but a little easier to find. Behind the cluster is another OK spot. Under the dash is no good if you want it to do it's job. The further it is away from the dash, basically, the less chance of it being found easily/ right away. Same thing goes for how you power/ ground it. If you hide it really well, don't leave an easy ground to snip. Make use of wire loom or tape, or something that covers your alarm wires that looks factory... the more they look like factory/ run with factory wiring, the better.

Found a complete turbo-kit for Volvo 740 for about €300. Can't afford it this month :E
They sent me the right heater core but the wrong heater core. Everything is the same except the out pipe is slightly off and about 1/2 inch further out due to the way it is made and it doesnt sit right in the heater core box or the engine bay. Dealing with them now, hopefully they can get me a new one, if not, off to willcox.
Took the time to change my brakes... Probably a really good thing i did it..

Less that 3% difference in the rear brakes and fronts.. [t]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/420/kki0.jpg[/t]

Damn man, it seems like literally one thing after another keeps breaking on that car.
How does that even happen?

Haters gonna hate [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OYVeM6v.jpg[/IMG] Literally. Started with no money, no tools, no skills. Everyone said I would fail and I should give up. Haters are a motivation. God willing I will start this tomorrow and it will roar as tantamount to the skills he gave me to make it
She's gorgeous, can't wait to see a vid.
do a garage burnout to cleanse the old tyres (I assume they're old right?)
If you actually are using haters in a non sarcastic way you are seriously a major faggot. just my 2 cents.
Now vq38 swap it kkkkkkk?

[QUOTE=sHiBaN;43091808]No, I'm totally serious about this[/QUOTE] But bro, the best form of humility is the one that doesn't have to say "fuck the haters". So what if people doubted you? You shouldn't need "haters" to motivate you towards your passion, the universe does that on its own. The whole scene behind "I <3 H8ters" and shit like that is just pompous dickwaving. True success comes from accomplishing your goal while maintaining a humble attitude; and trust me, the recognition from such is nothing short of heartwarming. ...unless you're just trolling.

I'm not a schizo government conspiracy theorist, but more and more studies are linking water fluoridation to multiple health issues. Regardless - I think the Waifu and JDMTyteyolo cultures are more comparable.
