Ill buy luch and pay $4/hr if someone comes and finishes it for me :mexi:

yesterday I tore down out turbo bits to weld some cracks in the Miata's manifold, did that and brought it to the machine shop, picked it up and reinstalled. Today I washed and vacuumed it.
I fucking rock.
You sir, are a lazy twatwaffle.

thats cute u washed and vacuumed your miata hope your BF enjoys it :-*

speaking of gayness. I went to "5 guys burgers and fries" today. The dude who used to take my order is now a woman. True story.
-
I've been meaining to put the 4g63 in the colt for like 2 years now. Apathy.
-
Same here.. I need to pull the interior out of my crx, replace the fuel feed, and paint it. I could do it in an afternoon but I just feel so meh about that kind of shit lately.
-
I've always been lazy w/my car... I'd rather get it done correct once, rather than build it 5 times in a month. Time is not something I have a lot of these days. I don't want to spend it fixing fuckups...
I think we're all getting grownup jobs, mortgages, real problems, n what not.
Plus our builds are getting more complex. Very few of us are simply strapping a .48/.60, walbro, n dsm 450's on a y8.
My stuff will be finished when I get around to it.
-
Im lazy as fuck with my car, I dont want to do anything with it anymore. I get an idea to do something and dont finish it
-
i still wholeheartedly plan to pick up two gt15s and a he351 from the asheville trailer park boys and make a mess of my corolla as soon as i find a job that pays > 5$ / hr
-
Fowee it is simple.....working alone on your own car gets old.....now with buddies and beer, it is more fun, but more fuckups.
I only have time on Sunday's now to work on my shit, no time to RC race now. Any racing I do has to be on Sunday's.
10/3 Tristate bracket racign
10/10 autox if I buy a helmet
10/17 SBZ meet
10/24 CRX Meet in Springfield Ohio
That along with trying to buy and machine 10 Quaife's while sitting fighting a first degree misdemeanor charge.
Yep, little time to get started on something.
-
dutch you lazy fucker get the car done and ship it up to me ill give you 5 bucks :noel:
-
im too lazy to take mine apart anymore, so i just drive it...
-
because hondas have grown very boring and old, not as fun as it once used to be. When everyone else had a honda and it was fun smashin on b series with a Rhmt'd turdbo kit.
-
Eh, school has put a hell of a damper on my car nonsense.
I did finally manage to get one of my buckets into the wonderful world of positive manifold pressure this year. That seems like a pretty decent accomplishment considering how well it turned out IMO.
-
Steve, you are lazy.
-
Steve, you are gay.
fixoured 4 ju JD

Speak for yourself, got the 4dr sleeper almost done, working on the crx, working 40+ hours a week, and some how fine time to still go to school :noel:
-
i soldered a set of wires for my radio the other day... working 3rd and not having a garage makes working on my car on off days really hard, and i useally do it alone so its boring...
-
I've been working full time & doing all the bullshit to get to the point where I can *start* closing on my house... yet I still fit a few hours in every other night on my b18a1. It's just stock for a winter beater (94 LS), but once I do close on the house, I'll be finishing turbo kit for it.
Tonight I finished swapping B1 cams into the A1. FYI the lift *is* different between the 90-91 and 94+ LS cams, all had 29mm base circles. Not much more, but enough to want to waste my time with it. I also made lifter adjustment tools. 1/4" drive deep-well sockets (10mm and 12mm) with a nut welded to the ends for a 17mm ratcheting box wrench to hold onto. Tomorrow I throw the new timing belt on and seal the bitch all up. Then next weekend I'll try to toss it in.
I also made the first steps towards a better e-cutout this week. I made a servo driver that works perfect and costs under $5 in parts. It should be half the weight of my current cutout, and easier to adjust too. Then once I get the house, I'll be making a bunch of them. :noel:
Last month I finished the A/C condenser&fan bracket. I flipped the fan to the front of it, meaning I had to completely redesign the condenser bracket...what a bitch that was.

I gotta 93dx 4dr on the side of my house waiting for oil feed line, 450s, chipped ecu. Its been like that for months. Its boring as fuck working on it all by your self. Ever since I moved to Texas I lost a shit ton of motivation. I have every thing to finish but the chipped ecu its also super hot out here I start sweating within minutes of working on the car
-
FUCK YOU!
I'm going outside to do work!
-
Who is the stupid fuck that made 24 hours day?? We need more time! 36 hours day at least.
-
<< bEEN DOIN WORK SON, YA'LL FUCKS BETTER GET ON IT :mexi:

I have been working on my car since I got back from Denver.
Damn electrical Gremlins.
Found 2 ground issues, 1 bat. to power dist. box issue, and AEM WB gauge took a shit.
I've had to replace the ign. coil and igniter.
I'm moving my mechanical oil gauge to where the AEM WB was.
Installing my new 14point7 SLC this week.
I have to replace the heater core in the near future or winter is go to suck for me. :-\
Then back to tuning.

Ive spent most of the day on the couch watching football 8)

Eh, went out and burned some dead dinosaurs. Goddamn turbo cars love cool ambient air.
;D

I've been watching the Singapore Gp and BBC has Top Gear marathon on all weekend. ;D

For my paseo, I fluxcored the manifold, over paid for a chinese turbo, and installed the intercooler over a year ago. Its now used as my mobile tool box. I took the passenger seat out last week to go pick up a transmission from the junkyard. I left it seatless since then because its easier to get the tools out from the back seat. When I leave my regular job, I go do side work out of a 1 bay garage that I rent. I'm hoping to get off my ass and get some positive pressure in the engine sometime this year.
-
im still waiting to see that boosted seo.
-
Ive exhausted my race car funds for this season. It is expensive to go fast. If I get $400 to spend on my car, I'm buying a time sert kit to repair my head stud threads.

Here's the servo driver circuit I'm testing. It uses two 555 timers (ne556 later), so hopefully it will work with the CDM digital servos. Drawing shows the eventual servo horn & spring setup. Standard servo = 40oz/in torque. CDM servo = 180oz/in torque @4.8V. I'll be running it at 7V, so ~250oz/in.

Here's the lifter adjuster:

I have made a tool similar to that to get the top hat nut off an 03 lancer front strut
-
damn i want a set of those ratcheting wrenches
-
They told the theft-prevention guy at my store to toss that set out because it was missing the 19mm. Well I found a better place for them instead. ;D

They r nice to have..... The ones the you have to turnover to change direction suck... :(
-

Totaly true. I use my wratching wrenches so much that I im on my second set. Thank you very much Sears! I probably use mine more than I use my ratchet. Its probably a 50/50 on the use of them. Man my 14mm and 17mm take a beating.
-
Bought a set of stubby ractchet wrenchs for 1/2 price as it was missing the 16mm and 18mm.....not needed on Hondas :)
-
I got a set years ago but it was the flip over kind and pretty far between each ratchet click....

we have the same set? lol. oddly enough, my 13mm is broken? think the only thing i can use it on is my turbo....
every time i see a set of reversible ones for a decent price its missing the good ones. usually a 17mm :-\
