I got a ticket for an expired state inspection (in the truck). State cop passed me going the other direction on a 2-lane road in Fluvanna. I didn't think anything of it, but then 5 minutes later I see flashing lights in the rearview. Must have been a slow day...

I know RJ got a ticket too... Anyone else?

okay, here's the run down....rents are helping with payment...so...
and this is supposing I don't get a mr2....
they are looking at like accords, corolla (not ae86), etc, mostly any mid sedan...we also went over the vw gti
does anyone have suggestions in this class and pric range, and then same for cars that are slightly better (ie impreza)...pros and cons for each would be good....i'm guessing this is gonna be mid 90s....

who still wants this to happen? i'd be down.

please post up a date you'd like to see it happen on, and then we can take it from there.

i'll be doing the suspension work i was supposed to do over break (couldnt get a spring compressor). i know a few of you guys were looking to do that too, although i don't know if any of you got around to it. i also want to do an overall check of my car and take it for a spin if it isnt snowing :evil:

no, i did not procreate, thankfully.

my family will have a 2000 toyota tundra club-cab chillin the driveway as of sunday. its a V6, 4x4, auto with the TRD off road package, and 15,000 lazy miles. oh, and it's silver.

basically, my grandpa bought the truck new a few years back. he's always had trucks, but now that he's getting pretty old he wanted something smaller, but still utilitarian. long story short, the poor guy lost a fight to poor circulation in his right leg and had to have it amputated. this is also coming at a time in his life when he and my grandma are moving to an assisted living community, so the truck had to go. my dad is buying it from him for a pretty low price, and it will replace either our deathtrap minivan or my honda (eventually)....our driveway is like a used car lot, but my dad couldn't pass it up. plus, he doesnt want to drive his audi in the winter if he doesnt have to so the truck may take it's place in the snowy weather.

i'll have pics sunday! i'm pretty excited, i want to raise hell with it off road and maybe i can steal it to do some towing work for me someday when i have a track rat like some of you guys!

I left my disk at home... But anyone else have any cool pics from trips or projects over break? The Omni now rolls 17's and my AK now sports a bangin' Fiberforce stock for easier drive-bys. I will have a few pics up soon.

i have a gift certificate for GT4 but i already purchased it, does anyone wanna buy it for $45. that or any other game from kb toys from staunton.

As the title says, the crank key broke off inside the crank sprocket. How do I get it out? The crank sprocket is flush up against the block so I can't get a jaw puller. I'll try to find a camera to post up some pics.

Ok, since I did my rear brake swap (to discs) I've been having this problem with the driver's rear. It drags! I've now replaced the caliper, the mounting bolts, the pins, and the pads. The only thing reimaining are the brackets, but I don't see how they could cause it to drag. Any ideas? I'm about all out of them.

We got a good start on Project318Ôäó today..... hopefully the new motor will be ready in time to drop it in wed evening and we can get it broken in and sorted out for Road Atlanta





With the all the crankcase fluids just mixing all together (I think there was some RTV and Gear oil in there too... ) there was some interesting things in the motor

Intake tube



Cylinder head



Head off



Cracked block (all the bolt holes looked like this)



e30 graveyard hock: chan said he only had 3! I did not check the trunks for dead hookers, but I wouldnt be suprised.
