Or a old mopar, 318 or 360

 

Make a giant gokart

 

Lemme see a pic.

Worse case scenario, the Civic gets a 350.

 

The guy said “hell no”

 

This is only 2150... Fun swap

lmao really? That sucks

 

Yeah, @zero4 was gracious enough to drop by and ask. He worked there 20 years ago.

 

Man it just occurred to me that I haven't wheeled in about a month...I need to remedy this soon.

Unless you count the Old Coast Rd out in Big Sur but that was just a glorified fire road.

 

Weather finally settled in AZ, might have to explore a bit once the garage clears out. Its 65 today

 

damn, lucky...we've had cool weather last week but it jumped back up to 90 this week. Halloween marks the beginning of consistently cool weather in SoCal in my experience...then it's wheel-every-weekend time for a few months

then again, with all the little (and some big) things I've been breaking lately, I might have a limited time this year

 

He said hell no to selling horns in bulk for $5-$10 ea cause he knows what the buyer would be doing with them. He basically does the same thing, refurbishes them & sells for more money.

I doubt he sells more horns than Tyler would though.

I asked him for a favor & he didn't even consider it. Then he has the nerve to ask me to help fix his shipping dept issues & asked if I could find someone to work there to help him to fix his backlog. Maybe if he considered hooking Tyler up I would but yeah F that.

 

Eh, just coilover bottoms right, that's pretty quick repair.

 

Right before the wedding was the blown CV axle (easy enough, not too bad) but then the wheel bearing went out and took the brakes on that side with it. That one stung esp cause I couldn't shop around, had to take it to the first place I found.

 

...oh and my stripped front diff drain plug, lol. Don't necessarily have to take care of that right away though.

 

Did you have both front brakes done? All water under the fridge now right

 

Water under a fridge means mold, another problem.

 

under the fridge yeah I guess so...no it only nuked the brakes on that side and luckily I only needed a rotor, that was just more terrifying than anything. But the wheel bearing job was nearly a grand, the shop did great work and got it done last minute in time for me to have my truck back for the wedding so I couldn't complain much.

 

OH and I'm throwing a P0136 code...again. Had it about 6 months ago but it went away on its own, now it's back and I'm starting to notice some rich AFR numbers on my gauge (not sure if related but they happened at the same time). So gotta get that taken care of now, hopefully I just need a new rear O2 sensor though. Thinking maybe the circuit got fouled up after the big water crossing I did around the time the code first popped up.

 

I like posting this picture when there talk of Lower Heims
