Hard.
Seems like the board is kinda slow lately, guys. Anyway- yesterday was a hell day from hell in hell. We had a pallet stacked about 7 feet high that I had to strap into the bed of a pickup and deliver to a store in Santa Fe. While making a turn off of the busiest street in SF, Cerrillos Rd., some dick sped up to show me who's boss I guess...I had to bump the throttle and hurry through the intersection. Immediately I heard the skittering of about a million cans of dog food and chew toys, et al. The boxes had collapsed. So, swearing profusely (that means lots of words like 'fuck', 'shit' and 'cocksucking mud-puncher'), I pull over and begin to run out in the road and pick shit up. Out of nowhere, some wino walks up with a shopping cart and starts loading crap up....now, my instinct is that he's planning on stealing stuff, but I decide to give him the benefit of the doubt- obviously while watching him out of the corner of my eye while I load things back into the truck. After he has the cart freighted with busted pet supplies, he pushes it over to my truck to help put it back with me. Nice. I pull a 20 from my pocket and ask, 'Hey man, can I thank you for helpin' me?' (I didn't want to offend him in case he's just a dirty eccentric and not actually a transient- there's plenty of wierd folks in SF). He takes it and as he does I see an apparently empty pint bottle in his pocket. I also notice that he's as butthoused as anybody I've ever seen.....oh, and for some reason he's holding a knife. He never put the knife away (?), but I was able to get away from his smell, his knife and his professions of being a veteran....and I learned that he somehow believes that he has a 'pet bull'. Not a pit bull, a pet bull. Then I had to stop at a walk-in freezer and pick up some goddamned frozen dog food. The owner showed up while I was there and started bitching to me about things that have nothing to do with me and angrily vowing to up the rent that my boss pays. Then (of course) he shut the fucking door on me and it nearly latched....had it, I'd be making a rescue request phone call to someone from the NEGATIVE 30 degree chamber. I gave it the kick of a lifetime and the door came open. Then, when I got to the pet store to deliver the 75% of it that wasn't destroyed, the sexy little Latina chick who works there was sympathizing with my story of the previous hour....up until she *I think* caught me looking down her shirt. Yikes.
There. There's my goddamned contribution to conversation. Dogs suck, trucks suck, Santa Fe sucks and getting caught looking at boobies sucks.

No, it doesn't suck. Wait, it does when you're married. Will we be visiting this girl?

Sounds like a day from hell!

That reminds me of a time when I used to drive a truck delivering tires.
I was in an even less than hick town named Swanzey in NH. (Just south of Keene)
It was the middle of a major snow storm, and I had missed a stop because I didn't
see it through the snow. I found a driveway that was big enough to turn around in.
And as fate would have it, I got stuck. From inside the house where I was two little
kids came out with snow shovels and actually helped me get the truck out. I don't
remember how much I gave them, I think it was like 20 to 40 bucks. They dropped their shovels and ran into their house totally excited. I'm sure money was extremely hard to come by where they live for some one their age. I was thankful to have my truck back on the road. Snow sucks, but little kids with shovels rock ! :supz:

Holy Crap, what a shitty day for you.

Yesterday my oil pressure dropped to zero and the temp shot up to 209. Put some oil in and added some water everything was cool.
Today, go to start the car and the battery is dead. Jump it and then take it to Pep Boys, they wouldnt give me a new one, and made me wait 35 minutes until my old one charged... gay. Hope it still works tonight.

Just split ANOTHER set of headers. Another rock hit my windshield a couple days ago, finished off the cracked one (which I NEVER got a ticket for). My subwoofer won't kick and I have a leaky Kenne Bell valve cover breather. And the zip tie holding a front spoiler on broke. :(
-
Sounds like you guys need a hug.
I still have to replace the vacuum check valves so I don't have to listen to boost bleeding off from my heater box when I let off of the accelerator.
-
You'd feel a lot better about your cars if I showed you some recent pics of mine.
-
please do, becuase I was stuck sleeping on aconcrete floor last night becuase my car wouldnt start and it wasnt worth calling anyone becuase I had to be at school early. fun
-
I need to put my good trans back in my car, it sucks not having second gear. At least my interior is back together.
-
um im waiting for the pics.
Car wouldnt start again today.
Fuck GNs
-
Phil- take THAT, bitch.
-
ah I feel much better now...
What are you doing with it? Details
My car kinda started today, I had to tighten some loose wiring.
But now my windshield is cracked. Seriously considering getting rid of it, I look white trash driving the stupid thing.
-
I've got huge plans...that's why it's taking so long for me to put it back together- lots of money.
No matter how you hate it, if you sell you'll regret it.
P.S. When they say that retorquing after moderate boost is the most important step....believ e it.
-
Weird, I've never retorqued. Even after high boost or lotsa nitrous.
Haven't blown a head gasket yet....

Have you run steel-shim?

Man I don't know. It hasnt brought me any joy after the first 7 days.
I've yet to experience boost in a GN. :mad:

Only on my 4.1, but thats N/A. Other than that I've used plain old Fel-Pros. I'm
trying Cometics on my new engine. The trick to long head gasket life, is to pay
very close attention to your tune. Retourqing doesn't hurt, but I'm too lazy for that.

On the RJC instructions it says in bold red letters that the re-torque (with those gaskets) is 'THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP'. I didn't really feel like taking everything off again so I said fuck it. Smart. Plus, I spoke to a dude who said he never bothered with it, either.....his car has been down longer than mine.

I've never used RJC gaskets. If thats what they say, then do it.
