I hate my car.

Tuesday 10:00 AM - Drove car to shop to have Fidanza flywheel and excedy clutch/presure plate installed

Tuesday 2:00 PM - Got phone call saying that the flywheel doesnt fit

Wednesday 12:00pm - Had a new flywheel overnighted to the shop from california

Thursday 3:00 PM - flywheel arrives 5 hours late.

Friday night 7:00PM - picked up car from shop. DRIVES LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL!!! i love the clutch/flywheel

Friday night 7:30PM - bent my intermediate shaft trying to snatch 2nd gear. and something is knocking when i shift now. cant drive my car.

Tomorrow: Taking the car back to the shop to flush some more money down the toilet.

Why does this shit always happen to me? Why must the CL cause problems? I'm fed up with all the bullshit

how does it drive with the 8lbs flywheel. Do you have to speed shift everytime? or does it feel good and not to lightweight?
+1 for your mechanic is an idiot

You guys dont know a god damn thing about the situation. I can keep taking my car wherever the hell i want to, and its none of your fucking business where i take my car. Why dont you go do something productive instead of sitting here trying to bash on people because you think you're cool.

My mechanic is one of my best friends BTW. Ive known him for many years. The car drove like a dream when i left the shop. We went back to his place to chill, and we were talking about the engage point on the new clutch. I told him it didnt seem like it grabbed as hard as the old clutch and i went out and took him for a ride and tried getting it to shift quickly and it would never shift as well as my old clutch/flywheel. He says i have to get used to driving the new clutch because the clutch drives just like his K20Civic. He gets in and quick shifts into second and it jumps forward and runs like a champ. We get back to the house, he parks the car, and i leave an hour later only to find that my car is shaking now every time i accelerate. He took my car to the shop today and replaced all my engine mounts and everything is back to normal. He paid for everything and he said the engine mounts were really really old anyways, and the new clutch grabbed too hard and just wore them out. He is one of the highest paid Technicians in the entire county and is famous for tuning hondas and acuras. He has never steered me wrong, and ALWAYS hooks me up with installations for all my parts. This was just an accident that could have happened to anyone, so dont go around calling my mechanic an idiot, because he is twice as smart as most of you, and four times as smart as SwervinCL.

Peace

BTW i will keep taking my car there, and my car is always going to be nicer than your stock ass CL with mexican rims. Its always going to run better, its always going to be faster, and its never going to be puke teal with chrome rims. LOL

P.S. you are 27 years old. Why dont you act your age faggot? Does it help your self-esteem when you get online and talk shit about people you have never met? Does it make you feel like a big man? Does it make up for all those lonely friday and saturday nights when nobody wants to chill with you because you're such a dick? I'm sure its all worth it to you. I'm not here to judge...

Are you serious? ME stop flaming people? I made this thread and almost EVERY SINGLE person flamed me and started talking shit which was not necessary. I believe it is justified and you dont need to stick your head where it doesnt belong. I cannot believe the stupidity that lies in almost every other person's reply in this thread. It blows my mind...

P.S. You havent even seen my new rims guy

Instead of having jokes on SwervinCL, learn to read what comes with your clutch dumbfuck.

most people flamed you cause it seemed like you hated your car for what looked like your fault... but yeah don't worry what other people say, just take care of whatever you need to, if your mechanic is dope then thats all there is to it just don't pay attention to these guys, everyone has their own opinions

well you should know when you come here with something, it's everyone's business.
regardless if your mechanic was GOD himself, it was a newbie move to drive the car like that after the clutch was just installed. now come at me if you want but you can save your childish remarks for someone who will be bothered.

if your mechanic of all people dont know that there is a break in period on a clutch and you will glaze your flywheel over if you dont, and he is the one doin the harm to your car, and then you go online to talk shit about him "discreetly" behind his back then im sure he is really your good friend. you should have labled this thread, " I hate my mechanic best friend who works out of his garage and fucked up my car but he replaced the motor mount free" and dude your 17 how many years could you possibly know a mechanic since youve been driving for maybee 2. and being a racist fuck talkin shit about mexicans isnt going to help you make your point any more than you sticking up for your gay mechanic. no im not a mexican... im mulatto. (look it up)
