I've got an extra set of wheels in my attic collecting dust if you need something to put them on I could loan you.

 

How much? Any idea how much life is left in them?

 

I have no idea how many heat cycles they have seen but they look like they were only scrubbed in. Like 75% or better I would guess. I got them from PhilsTireService at the end of last season, I just don't think they are going to keep until NEXT year when I get the car out on the track. $100 and come pick them up? I know this stuff won't fit in the toyota

 

I'll buy them if he doesn't want them...

 

I love the new siggy....

 

How soon do you need to know? I just don't know how much track time I will have this year with the whole new job thing. I understand if you want to get them gone quickly.

 

Mac,

How hard was it getting the tranny down? Did you use a tranny stand or did you rig your own.

 

not terrible.

I used a jack.

The biggest problem I had was the mess I made because I forgot to drain the fluid before I started.

Of course a lift and air tools would have made the job easier but its managable on the ground.

 

I can only imagine the mess and the smell.

 

The severity of the smell would depend on what Mac had to eat that day...

 

I don't mind gear oil smell until it's burnt gear oil and the stuff that was in there was basically brand new.

The terrible part was getting my hair in the puddle while wrangling with the tranny sitting on the ground unde the car

 

I had a cover on the plates that would not come off so that I could put my plate sticker. So I had to take off my bumper, to take of my plates, because the screws would just spin. Once I removed the bumper I saw the problem, and just like I thought the metal tab that the screws screwed into where rusted on to the screws. Also the plastic tabs that were part of the bumper broke when I tried unscrewing the first time, oops.... here are some pics. So I'll have to figure out what to do next year to fix that problem.

 

wow, thats one of the cleanest trunks i've seen in the chicagoland area. mad props boi1!!1

 

True that, and are you doing that in the apartment parking lot?

 

IDP, I like to keep it clean haha, Thanks...

 

Condo parking lot but yea lol...

 

Found elsewere:

Did you think you could hide this from us? I guess this means Blue will be coming up out of the basement.

 

Well, so much for us telling you all in person!

Yep, it's official!

 

congrats!

 

Ya just had to tell someone here didn't cha. And you think I wouldn't find it?

 

CONGRATS!!!

I will have plenty of advice for Charles today at lunch. Basically, if you go into marriage with the understanding that the woman is always right, then your marriage will be much happier and life is a lot easier. If you operate under this assumption, you have a much better shot at watching the race, game, etc.

 

Also, I think it was Bill Cosby that said every morning when he gets up, the first thing he does is say "I'm sorry" to his wife, because he's sure he's done something wrong. He just doesn't know what it is.

 

After they are married a few years, she will be sending him back to the basement. That's where I am most of the time now. But apparently some who have seen my basement say that's not such a bad thing...

 

Advice for Charles,
The only way you will get in the last word, during an argument, is to say "Yes Dear". Then you go do whatever the hell you want anyway.

 

To make that more palatable, just rename it the "Man Cave".
