Yep..............you, me, and CyberPitz must have read that thread! We were heading down that path as you can tell.

 

Nice work, Dave, good to know that not even a ******** could stop you from getting this car up and running right away

 

She said I could call him whatever I wanted, but I chose to be nice. **** happens! Glad that's all it was cause the other half of the TEAM wasn't there and I was nervous!

Fired right up though!

Wish I would've thought to check all other circuits though. Funny......I've never seen where that 120A main fuse is.........it took a minute to find it.

Oh yeah...........and there is a 10mm socket hanging around in there somewhere! Oooops! I believe it may be sitting in the under tray, so if you(or I, or both) go over to put the new fuse in, we need to look mo betta for that socket!


Well...........at least they got to see my car this time!


Oh...............you should have a PM from me concerning your clutch. It's either a PM or go into your profile and see if there is a "conversation" about it.

Dave

 

..............

Good call

 

Good man! No pics of this adventure? Is she around my age?

 

I don't know.....you're getting older all the time!

But..................yes she is a year or two younger than you!

 

Well, good to know nothing horrid happened. I'd have to say this is a job well done. Only issue now are fuses, and viola!

 

Yep.............she has about 150k on this car. It runs good.................once we got all the little things out of the way. Need to see how it does of about a month on the road still.

 

I'm 19, hmm this could work.

 

Okay........maybe she's only one year younger, or maybe the same........I forget.

 

She's legal, eh?!

 

She's already taken by ********, and she has a brother that is about 6'4" and 280 lbs and drives a HUGE truck that could easily run over your RX-8.

 

I think he's bigger than 6'4...........he's a big dude!

 

yay you remembered to say it wasnt me!!! lol even im not that stupid to mess a battery up, thats simple...anddd to clarify it surely wasnt an ex of mine lol...just a dumb **** who worked for my brothers lawn service lol

but as you knew i was already in the car and pretty much behind you as you turned onto babcock i was coming up to go stright on university lol so no i didnt see the post, as far as i know my blinkers worked and all i saw them when i drove back to my moms house, and the head lights and such where good too! but i send the message and have my mom and brother run around and check all the lights and such.

I am sooooo happy it was an easy fix like seriously my heart sank when i tried starting it and it wouldnt start....almost started to cry...yepp thats right lol...
but anyways im super happy it was an easy fix and will repay you in loads of dr pepper lol....

back to the college life i go...ill post again in a few days!!!




OH AND BEST OF ALL: (ready for this????) bumbumbum.... IT RAN SOOOOO AMAZINGLY LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!! IT WAS WONDERFUL AND AMAZING!!! I WAS DOING LIKE 80 ON US1 LOL....just thought i would share that and hopefully put a smile on you'lls face


thank you again!!!!!

 

Glad it's running okay.
Listen, we do need to put that fuse back in when it comes in, so make sure you have someone call either Bastage or myself okay?
To be honest...........I was afraid to even open this thread this morning when I saw you had an update for fear of something else.

Oh......remember to let the car warm up before you go and mask the pedal to the floor. You hit it kinda hard when you took out of the driveway yesterday. It's best to let it warm up first. Remember, you do have a list in one of these threads to abide by!

 

Just read this thread... very awesome work guys!

 

read most of this thread, good job... GL with your car.

 

wow this is inspiration nice work nice to see an 8 running around with 150k on her. i had to push my car down a hill when she flooded good to see everythings working now.

 

When I was in College and had no money for a battery, I used to park my old Toyota Corolla on a hill so I could pop the clutch each time until I could scrounge up enough for a battery. Think I did that about three months!
Sounds easy huh? Well..........not in Florida! Don't have many hills at all!

 

Oh........and I think I can speak for Bastage as well as myself here..............

Thanks for all the good words and the help from everyone on this thread it's appreciated and not overlooked.
They know that this thread has been followed and that many people have helped out as best they could.
