^ Actually enjoying life for a change eh?

 

Got me there! I get out mainly to see shows, keep my sanity.

 

Tonight; dicks off 45th. 6:30. I will be there

 

pics??

 

Bump!!

nothing new, been working on mazda6's and Protege, of the speed variety

 

Sweet

 

Pictures of what?

 

dicks meet!

 

Lmao

 

 

is that a broom stick holding up the hood?

 

Yes, there is nothing in the engine bay but windshield wiper motor, front brakes likes poking out inner fenders and oem subframe. My samberg lsx subframe, transmission brace and cobra 8.8 IRS cradle should be here shortly.

I put my mid pipe on today while I fixed an issue. I guess during the whole motor swap the 4 nuts connecting the I beam to transmission were loose. When I left work I noticed JAL 787 was on the taxi way. I had to watch it take off, post a video little later. On the way home my shifter was bobbing up and down. Figured I broke a motor mount. Limped the remaining 1.5-2 miles home, jacked the car and looked at the tail of the transmission. ****. 1 nut missing and I beam sitting on my autoexe bracing. Luckily found the right nut in the odd selection of stuff. Fixed.

Only problem. My car sounds like its pretty much open exhaust. Anything above 5k and I'm afraid the space station will hear me. There was no silencer in my blitz exhaust so I ordered one on the side of the road. Hopefully that works other wise mid pipe off and old bad cat back on. Or a oem good cat if I can find one for cheap or trade my mid pipe for. What brand? Idk, I got it off Sean. Some dual resonated mid pipe.

That's my night...sigh. Wanted to go work out but im an old man so bed time

 

Busy day, the fd will be beast!

Pesky loose bolts after engine swaps are a pain! Lets just say I almost lost my water pump pully


The tip silencers inserts help alot, I have two different sizes for 4" inche tips

 

I am too busy at work to do anything with my car. Long hours during the weekend and then working every Sunday. Does not leave much time for anything else.

 

Brad, might as well seam weld the FD with everything stripped out

 

Ouch, better set aside some vacation time for leavenworth

Agreed on stitch welds

 

I put my sparco seat in the car to check if my head would smash the halo and eat lunch/make car sounds. I was looking at removing all the seam sealer. Prob one of those things while I wait for more parts.

 

I've been working out recently, except last week cause I got all sinus cold bug sickness. Yesterday was chest and biceps and back and triceps today. Yeah little unorthadox mix on daily muscle groups. Today was great, I had a killer pump. Be honest I hate the end of the day at work knowing I have to work out. When your there and pushing those last 3 reps, feels fantastic. Arnold said when he was younger that the pump is like cumming. *** all day; gym and home.

 

A work out after work definately feels good when everything is over.

 

fighting through a workout with knee pains is tuff

 

Yep cause I'm usually sleeping right after

 

i dunno... my version of a workout is dancing around the house like a maniac while i blast music... maaaaaybe throw a few situps and lunges in there if im feeling extra motivated

 

I wish I felt that way during/after a workout. You always hear about how an intense workout feels euphoric, but I just never get that. I mean, I feel good about myself knowing that I did the right thing, but I never get that great feeling. I truly envy those people that look forward to the workout.

 

Heres some ****. LSX subframe, T56 tranmission mount and ford 8.8 IRS cradle.



Time to push car into the garage install new subframe.

 

What are your plans with the FD again?
