Going to have to get the starter rebuilt/buy a new one. Tried it and it only spun.
Tried taking starter out, bottom bolt "Ok I give up." top bolt "I'm going to strip myself right when you try to grunt and make you hit your kuckles on my fan."
2hrs later Starter in hand and In need of 2 bolts.
Also in-tank fuel pump no makes noise, but it gets voltage. Guess I'm going to pick up a in-tank pump too.

Soon.
DP I want you garage then once I have it I am going to install a lift
you'll find out that the ceiling makes a lift in there completely useless.
[QUOTE=Psygo;37354514]you'll find out that the ceiling makes a lift in there completely useless.[/QUOTE]
Exactly. Too low of a ceiling for a lift. But good thought.
Going to run by O'rallys later after work to grab a starter for it. Fuk taking it to someone so they can rebuild it, a new one costs 90$. I would rather know I have a new starter in it than relieing on some Mexicans work.

He lives in a mostly rural texas town. He can raise that ceiling another 5 feet. He'll be fine

Alternatively, cut a hole in the ceiling and place the piece you cut out on a hinge, place lift, and as you raise the car it raises the roof.
DPKiller's new DIY project has been planned.

Do you know of any "alternative" to the fuel pumps?
I think 100$ a pump is abit excessive on a car of this age.
Tried the new shifter knob.
Never realized the OEM, leather-covered one weighs five pounds while the new one is virtually nothing. The OEM dinosaur head is also super uncomfortable to use

walbro 255lph, about 90$
You can get a 255 a bit cheaper than $90 if you look hard enough, good pump though.
Installed switch system in my brother's defender [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/AFC3L.jpg[/IMG]
I hit some shit with a hammer and looked at my photocopyed bently.
(Check Relay) blah fuk that.
(Check Pump) Blah its new *Wait the faggot lied to me!*
(Check Relay) LOLOLOLOL Burnt out Relay. Take that you fucking 100$ pump!
;_; I'm a very particular person. I like my shit clean, seeing the inside of the fuel lines made me cringe.
But...The price of the fuel lines...... :suicide:
At-least the body is in some what good shape. Some rust here and there some major spots missing here and there, aka the whole spare tire dome is rusted completely threw. :v:
Spare tires are for pansies. :v:

I hate knowing that a 20 lb jack+wheel combo will keep me from being deserted :v:

Wat? Don't you love to live on the edge? I have 4 tires on my Audi that are 4 years old, and I have no idea how long they have been used. Plus no jack,no spair, and no way to get the security bolts off.
Sounds like a good combination to me!
O-god pageking.

Food for taught.
I always carry a spare and a scissor jack. The one from the Celica is pretty much the same as a Honda one, so I carry that with me in whatever I drive.
Removed my spare and jack because I live in the city anyway, towing services abound.
Also, I just did a small upgrade on my GF's Corolla. NGK Iridium plugs and a K&N air filter. I actually feel some g-forces stepping on the gas now
My entire collection of tools and toolboxes and my 5 ton jack is in the back of my suburban.
I think i'm fine if I break down.

A tow is a lot more expensive than some elbow grease for 15 minutes.
It cost me $163 to have my Celica towed from outer Jenks to outer Kellyville, a 20 minute drive. The part to fix the car when I bought it (which is why I had it towed) was less than that and would have taken ~5 minutes to install (Two screws, two plugs).
I have AAA and I get 3 free tows a year anywhere I want within 100 miles. It also works for any vehicle I'm with so for instance when a friend of mine smacked a curb in his Integra and bent the subframe all I had to do is drive over, call up AAA, a tow truck came right out and dropped it off with just my signature and a look at my card. They'll even bring out gas, change the tire for you and pay for a locksmith. There's a bunch of places which give you discounts for being a member as well so it's pretty nice.
I don't think I'd call them to put a spare on though.

I think of road wrenching as the highest fucking challenge a AA can attempt.
I always carry my mastercraft toolbox (pretty complete) and a few wrench (10,12,14,15,17,18,19,21,22,24mm). Only got defeated by my supra one time, when the trans seized and the engine knocked to death :P
I've been defeated one time when a rad hose exploded and then my timing belt decided to jump, my dad had a friend with a truck so I got a free tow.
One of my proudest accomplishments is when I was driving my Civic towards another town, and it started to overheat. I pulled over, a pinhole had rubbed in a tiny rubber coolant lint that went to my IACV. I had some plastic tubing in the car that was the same ID, and I put it on there with some plastic zip ties, then poured a bottle of water someone had left in my car into the rad. It didn't need water for a good week after that when the plastic tubing got brittle and cracked. :P I replaced it with some good line after that.

Nice.
Mine was in my 98 Tacoma 4x4.
I snapped a u joint in half.
With a crescent wrench I removed to 4 bolt that connect the shaft to the tranny. Tossed it in the bed. Locked the hubs and drove in fwd mode for a couple days. Till I could source a new slip yoke. It deformed bad from the metal gas tank skid plate.
My 81 Toyota pickup blew a heater hose in lowes parking lot. How nice that was. Just took me an hour to buy the hose and coolent and replace the hose. Had to walk 1/2 to Walmart to get the coolent.
I've only been stranded once and had to call a tow truck. it was 7 miles up a dirt road a i burnt up the auto tranny in my Lexus.

It's true. I do have AAA Premium so I got like 200 free miles every year. But one day when I get my five lug conversion and some nice rims, I'll buy a 5th wheel to keep as a spare in the trunk.
