[QUOTE=bradley;37738964]Well a wheelchair is a chair with wheels directly attached, designed to move.[/QUOTE] wheels on a car are attached to the car directly too jeez I'm supporting your point on the chair vs seat why are you doing this :v:
Yeah but the car isn't a seat it's a vessel :v:

Well, found out what was seizing my engine. The #3 Main cap bearing is shot, and was causing it not to turn.
I warned you about mains bro!!!! I told you dog
I sort of half-heartedly helped work on some Nismo edition R34 GT-T, and then worked on my car next to it so i could drive it home without dragging my exhaust...

that is the coolest fucking thing
Looks like it sucks for tinny tree's getting jammed n shit. Dat saw noise.
Thought I grenaded my clutch on Tuesday. Got under the car today and unbolted the tranny and the clutch was fine. Put it back together and then pulled the cv joints/axles out. On one of them the 3 rotational thingies (whatever they're called) exploded inside the boot and it just had metal and shrapnel and ball bearings everywhere. Once I pulled the joint, the car stopped making exploding metal noises. Today I am going to replace the axle (no one had in stock yesterday) and hopefully it's fixed.
Those are just called bearings. I've had a lot of axles come apart on me, probably the worst is when the axle in my Civic exploded and beat the shit out of my oil pan and the likes. Luckily I was two blocks from my shop.
so you drove the chair home? :v
Went and checked at the local gas station for a headlight bulb for my new bike (A Yamaha YBR 125cc), and they didn't have any. Real bummer, since I can't ride untill I get one (and I don't seem to be able to find them online either) To add to my bad day, my bicycle had a flat when I got "home" from school (I commute by bus, and ride my bike to the busstop. I guess I hit some broken glass around where we usually park our bikes/mopeds) And I just "finished" working on my mom's van. I was supposed to remove one of the seats in the back (it's a VW Caravelle, with the sideways seats in the back), but since I couldn't find an allen wrench that fit, I just moved the seatbelt to the other seat (it's been broken for some time now, it's at least some progress)

something about the mismatched paint.. I feel like that truck could pull it off if the paint was as it is now (but fresh an shineh) but with a dually rear... i feel like it would look sick like that lol.
CHAIR ADDICT
[t]http://i.imgur.com/XxtGF.jpg[/t] It's amazing how smooth an engine with 310,000 miles on it can run, isn't it? Test drive video will be up either this evening or tomorrow depending on how much time I waste in Torchlight 2 tonight. :v:
Because racecar

Oooh, nice. What sort of CFM does it pull?
i love that any given part of the bug will just fail at any time for seemingly no reason. got my rebuild kit for that carburetor, rebuilt it, put it on the car. fucking vacuuuum leaaak still. throttle shaft bushings are shot. carb is basically junk because there's no way i can change those bushings. oh well put back on my good, working carburetor. go to start the car - crank crank crank crank crank nothing. fucking. got gas, distributor is all hooked up, coil is hooked up. coil is good, have spark going to distributor. must be either the condenser or the rotor, but wtf it was just running not 5 minutes ago somehow in the time from turning the car off, changing the carburetor and going to start the car again the fucking rotor shit the bed. blah. $7 part.. +$10 shipping. i totally spaced getting one when i ordered new points/cap/condenser like 2 months ago so of course that's the part that fails, meanwhile the old condenser was fine until today (when i changed it out, thinking that was my problem) might as well get a new coil cause i fucking know if i don't that bastard will shit the bed on me too (but if i do, the thing will be fine. bah humbug) oh boy another $45 and $40 in shipping.. plus i just paid $270 to get a thermostat and flaps setup. golly gee willikers i hope i can stop spending so much money on this car soon

That's the main advantage to e-fans.
I have a huge clutch fan and two electric fans. What now.

That baby pulls 3000cfm. can't wait to install it. I'll use the two old lil fan to pull air thru the intercooler hehe
I got tired of chewing up the tires on those huge rims Jap gave me so I threw some COLD STEEL back on the EF [img]http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/426350_465598500141728_1450089099_n.jpg[/img] They cleaned up alright too [img]http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/551915_465598413475070_595328121_n.jpg[/img]
Haven't taken any pics, but I got my new exhaust on last weekend, new from the Cat back. $400 to have it put on. :C Sounds pretty good, even if it's a little quieter than I had hoped. I think it's still getting broken in though, because it's a little bit louder now than when I pulled out of the shop. I took it back through emissions today, the technician couldn't figure out what my truck was for some reason..., and the bitch finally passed. Gonna go get tags for it on Friday when I get paid again. I can finally start devoting time and money to my Suppy again. :D Eventually I'm gonna have to replace my Torque converter, or get my transmission rebuilt too. :\ Hopefully later rather than sooner though.

[QUOTE=DPKiller;37747541]Looks like it sucks for tinny tree's getting jammed n shit.

But when doing large tree like that you're better off having the pressure higher
