how hard would it be do install a timing belt by yourself? Or how time consuming. Trying to help someone out.

Drop the trans. Clutch was okay. The flywheel bolts backed out and lodged against the disc. My flywheel and disc got chewed up. Trying to figure what to do next. I'm trying to get the shop to pay for it or something but who knows. Anyone know any laws or regulations regarding asshole shops. I should have pics up once after I get nice and drunk.

u about some irony.

I went to Dan's house to help Andy pull the tranny even though around noon he posted that he already had it out. Showed up and he was under the car and sure enough the tranny was on the ground. After he pulled off the clutch we got a good look at the flywheel bolts.......and uh, pictures are needed but basically 6 of the 8 had backed out. Needless to say he was a little angry with D.J. from E.T. motorsports who had done some of the work on the car.

Flash forward through an hour of bullshitting. I'd met Andy before at advanced auto and his friend Dan who also works there tells me he is planning to leave so I decide (because I need $$) I need to head over and try and get myself a job.

Walk in, grab the app, start filling it out outside the store when a guy walks up and wants to know who designed the sidemounted intercooler on my car. Introductions are made and sure enough, it is D.J. from E.T. Motorsports. So another hour of bullshitting about the DSM world and the race cars that make up the harrisonburg population goes by and I'm on my way again.

I didn't bring up the fact that you blame him and or his shop with gross negligence in the clutch installation...figured I'd leave that to you.

Chris mentioned something about this at the first meeting and I thought it was a hot idea. The idea being to have people give a little info about their car and stuff. I'm not just down because I love talking about my car but because I like knowing what other people have done and are planning.

Uh so yeah, discuss.

This thing showed up at Allsports last night. The guy's a semi-regular and said once he breaks the engine in he's bringing it back and we'll take it out for a few laps on the track. Damn it's so f'in low to the ground.

















Yes I got to sit in it too!





LED side markers


Look at those Lugs



What's he looking at?



It might be this, look at that flat underbody!!!



He's also said that we can take it for a few laps around the building next week when he comes back. I can't f'in wait.

For my buick? I have to push real hard to engage the brake.
