All sorts of stuff makes it's way in there.

 

And you would know...ummm...how?

 

Things I've heard...

 

fify

 

lol!

 

I'm crying from laughing so hard.

 

Dat booty doe.

 

Penguins are the perfect mules.

 

 

is that your bum hole?

 

It's whatever you're paying for it to be.

 

It's his bum hole!

 

Somewhat on topic - remember how my shifter was all screwed up after the motor swap? Well I bought some bushings a few months ago thinking that was the issue. It wasn't. But in the process of replacing those, I found the real issue. It's where the shift rod connects to the shaft on the transmission, there is a joint there, and that is where the play is.



Part...................Description................ ..................Price
SU00300882........DAMPER, SHIFT LEVER..................$3.86
SU00300895........SHAFT, CONTROL........................$52.09
SU00300897....... COLLAR (FOR CONTROL SHAFT).......$4.81
SU00300901........PIN (FOR SHIFT LEVER SHAFT).......$3.86

Total: $77.57 shipped

Now I just need to find the time to get under the car to replace it. It's going to be a pain to get to

 

Kinda like the short shift kit on the TL...a bigger ball to go into that socket connection to take away the extra play and throw. Nice, man...

Why you has so many issues bro? And your car too!

 

So what you're saying is...your shaft was a bit loose? Or was it your rod?

 

You were last to touch it...help the guy narrow down the issue!

 

No that was Penguin since Morgan was down with him recently.

 

Correction - Penguin was down on me recently.


And I don't know why I have so many issues with this car; nor do I know why I like it so much given all the issues.


<--- Glutton for punishment.

 

 

Sell your car and get a TLX with PAWPAW SUPERMAN AWD and stay in TLX sub section.

 

It'll be a cold day in hell when that happens

 

 

I would consider getting another boot. That cube shaped one that goes around the bottom of the lever. I did my shifter on a lift and I still literally ripped that boot a new asshole.

 

That boot is long gone. I tore it to pieces when I installed the shifter.

Besides, its not the joint that is covered by that boot, its the joint on the other end - no boot on that end.

 

Dude, get a wrap job.

 

Dude, watch out for wet roads in your RWD vehicle. You don't want to get sideways on accident

 

A decent wrap costs thousands

 

It was fun though.

 

This was me with the Z. Until I had enough.

 

How's the X5 been holding up, Stefan?

 

$1500-1800...shouldn't be more unless it's chrome.

I actually want to get the wagon wrapped, I just haven't decided on color yet.

 

When Xuolu got the GT-R wrapped, it was at least 3k and they fucked it up. Sure it's hard to wrap certain sections, but it just wasn't great overall.

 

Hola Ryan, Morgan!

X is great! I have spent less in 18 months than I did in a week on the Z. (under 2k total maint. including probable unneeded PM I did just for peace of mind. Hows the Focus?

 

This. A reputable shop quote something around her in LA area.

Maybe because 86 and Miata are small?

 

Maybe has a GT-R tax.

 

I've heard some pretty crazy wrap prices too, actually.

 

Same here.

My plan with getting the Lexus wrapped (if I go that route) is to have the same guy that did the clear bra on the FR-S do it.

 

is your paint in good condition? If so...just fkng buff that baby and call it a day. Waste of money unless you're trying to hide something

 

On the wagon?

It's so-so. Theres scuffs and scratches all over, most down to the primer. And I'm not a fan of silver.
