[QUOTE=Serj22;48726839]You sure you don;t mean Mopar as fuck? That's Limeliight green... I'm doing a high impact color on my car, but not that one... all will be revealed soon. Would've done Panther pink, but too hard... [editline]20th September 2015[/editline] I dunno. Seems like you do.[/QUOTE] Kinda ment the bonnet strap :v:
[QUOTE=Strontboer;48726860]Kinda ment the bonnet strap :v:[/QUOTE] No thats clearly UPS as fuck.
[QUOTE=The Decoy;48721905][t]http://i.imgur.com/4o8Qw2b.jpg[/t] 120 bucks on a new radiator or be a Mr Krabs was my third attempt to seal the hole. I originally tried just pushing it through hoping it would work but cutting the top support worked out quite well I reckon. I still had to semi-take the radiator out, it's supposed to sit under the white piece of frame in the top left. If it lasts longer than a month then I will be pretty happy :joy:[/QUOTE] replace the damn radiator and save the headaches later. Obviously your hole patching skills are not cutting it here.
Just thought of a neat idea to protect a car from being stolen; what if you install some kind of rails on your garage floor that interlocks to the subframe, they couldn't pull the car away with anything. Control them via hydraulics with a wireless controller that you keep on your keychain. [editline]20th September 2015[/editline] Another idea, rig a system to detect if the vehicle is being towed, like an accelerometer to detect movement of the car when there's no key in it, and have a thermite canister system under the car... if car is on flatbed, it starts eating a hole through their fucking truck. Some decent shielding above the canister and gravity should help keep the thermite from damaging the car. Huehueuhe

I'd expect a lot of damage to the subframe from the rail. Second idea doesnt warrant a response :speechless:
Yeah, but the thermite idea can come in handy if your car's trying to be stolen from a parking lot or somewhere you're not nearby. Could also use the accelerometer system to connect to your phone, like some alarms do.
If I was not booked into mr. Transmission tomorrow morning I would be freaking the fuck out because my clutch pedal stiffened up suddenly and now the clutch chatters. Methinks the cable is about to let go.
last night I dreamed I was searching for photos of amc eagles but could only find eagle talons
[QUOTE=Code3Response;48727437]replace the damn radiator and save the headaches later. Obviously your hole patching skills are not cutting it here.[/QUOTE] Eh the leak was more of an inconvenience than a headache. Anyway my hole plugging skills are just fine, the cooling system holds pressure now so no more massive puddles wherever I park.

Huehueuhe[/QUOTE] How about you do what I'm doing and hook up a remote power disconnect where the battery ground meets the chassis. Or the starter ground. Btw, this $79-$149 idea is a whole lot cheaper than your idea.

Thieves mostly want your phone, or phone charger, or money, or your radio. Also Hondas are almost completely predisposed to be broken into.
Why would he be recording his steering wheel, then a duche bag just happens to roll up?
[QUOTE=MIPS;48729481]If I was not booked into mr. Transmission tomorrow morning I would be freaking the fuck out because my clutch pedal stiffened up suddenly and now the clutch chatters. Methinks the cable is about to let go.[/QUOTE] I blew the clutch. I fucking blew the clutch. :suicide: HOW???? It's a fucking 2WD Geo Tracker. It ain't tearing up the backroads or racing riced Civics on the main drag. I fucking drove from home to work and it rather silently came apart. No bangs, no awful noises and no heavy vibration. I only discovered it this morning when I looked underneath and the dust cap and been pushed back a small amount and clutch fragments were hanging out. It's also three fucking months out of warranty. It hasn't even seen 15000km on it. Fuck me six ways from Sunday! :suicide: :suicide:
Well... I was gonna buy some heads for my Chevy to pump some hp out of it. But yesterday my desktop decided the gpu would crash and now forever bsod. I can boot into safe mode and boot into regular Windows if I don't have display drivers installed. But once I install drivers and reboot she will crash. I even did a fresh install... Did all fine and dandy unroll I installed drivers. I tried new, old, and drivers on CD. It won't stop bsoding. So now my 900$ heads are on wait wile I build a new i7 4790 + gtx 980 computer to replace my amd phenom x4 965 + gtx 560 Ti build from 2010.....
Fuck. Driving to work, there was a fucking 2x4 in the road on the off ramp. Looked like a piece of card board from a distance, couldn't swerve because of traffic and ran it over. Bent my back right wheel.
It's the week of everyone's car getting fucked up! My friend broke off all the mounting points for his front bumper and I think intercooler in his Saab 9-3 because a pothole filled with water looked way more shallow than it was. :v:
Fine. I'll bandwagon this shit too. [video=youtube;mKKHCND0KU0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKKHCND0KU0[/video] [video=youtube;Mb1mHzgJa1E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb1mHzgJa1E[/video]
Had to call my brother to get his jack and tire iron(where the hell did mine go?) Got today off work, gonna go get my car looked at in a shop to make sure there's no damage and get my wheel replaced [editline]21st September 2015[/editline] I got so much air tho
Turns out I should have taken my wheels off and checked my brakes before ordering a new pair, I thought the rotors and pads would be worn by now, but I still had a good 8mm of pad left on both sides and the rotors were fine, they just appeared grooved with the wheels on. Gonna have another go at knocking my drum covers off and replacing the tensioners, shoes, and do a brake flush today or tomorrow hopefully.
Ran over a rake on my dirt road yesterday morning. Three holes in my front right 2 of which are on the sidewall. Rake also raked off some of my paint around my wheel wells wtf just my luck. Just got a new block and this kind of shit happens. Looks like im in the market for two new fronts and a paintjob. My car is robbing me boys but i love her
Can we stop posting this stuff. You all are making me nervous for my 150mi drive on lower balljoints that have yet to be greased
I found this piston in my shop class today, could any of you identify it? I tried googling the markings, and it looks to be out of a Grand National.

I want a Ram 1500 Express so bad... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jmpJJ3v.jpg[/IMG] Single cab trucks are so sexy.

im going to buy a BMW 318d 2010 on Friday BMWs are great to drive, im stoked

Fuck me six ways from Sunday! :suicide: :suicide:[/QUOTE] Sounds like installation error or manufacture defect to me, isn't your car going in for another rebuilt transmission? Did the same place replace your clutch? I'd demand to know what clutch they used and where they sourced it from then request them to replace the clutch with an Exedy or other quality brand name clutch along with ensuring they resurface/replace the flywheel. Rockauto has a wholesale closeout flywheel for $25 if you want to order the parts yourself for them.
I want to get a motorcycle in the future. Something with a sport posture style frame. Can y'all recommend something not too expensive and decent for a beginner? I really don't know much about motorcycles.

I really don't know much about motorcycles.[/QUOTE] If you're going for a sportbike, most people are going to recommend a 250-300. Either way, it's something that warrants a bit of research.

Depending if it's a hardware issue, improper config settings in the bios or software interference I should be able to help get you back to normal, mostly anyway. None of here are normal. :v: [editline]21st September 2015[/editline] And to add to the car woes wagon of the band... I believe I need to get a new condenser for my A/C and possibly adjust my expansion valve. Theres a little hex hole adjustable do-dad in there and I'm assuming if I mess with that I can get it to get colder with out having to replace anything besides freon, which is a non-issue. But the other issue I have is that the system is so sensitive to pressure that sometimes when the compressor kicks on it blows off some freon, and it's not been filled or added to recently. Wtf, I wants to enjoys my ACs befores the winters gets heres.
