Another fun night on hwy9.

(rofl) sweet!

Damn I miss driving... I have been driving my car back and forth from work, but nothing super fun. Need to get my gauges back in and my oil leak taken care of before that, but in the mean time, I think we need an install day to work on my suspension

Springs from Rishie, Rear Sway bar brackets, Endlinks, Trailing Arms, and if we get adventureous, front axles.

Ouch man that sucks. I killed my first WRX in the mountains near Skyline Blvd. Rolled it, then it caught fire. Totally dead, looks even worse than yours, but I came out with only a scratch on my hand from window glass.

**** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****

Looks like I get to take off my radiator so that I can get to the broken bolts that I didn't put threadlock on when I installed the s/c kit.
This is turning into SUCH a ******* nightmare. All the belts are off fo the car, now I get to start taking off the cooling system. When I installed my intake on the P5, that was the first time I'd ever worked on a car. Now I'm about to ******* RUIN Julie's 20,000 dollar Miata because I don't know what the **** I'm doing, but I can't get any help, and I don't have the money to tow it to a mechanic.

I can almost guarantee that I'm gonna **** something up while taking apart the radiator and cooling lines. I don't even know what all that s***'s attached to, or if I should flush it out or what.


Here's goes 20,000 bucks...

 

[Natey]

**** this s***.
Julie's just gonna have to wait until I can save up enough money to take her car to a mechanic. I'm afraid to screw it up any more than I already have.

This whole S/C ordeal is turning into a 2300 dollar mistake.

Hey Natey, the radiator ain't such a big deal there are just 2 hoses connected to it. I can help you out and I'm sure Terry could also. Consider it a chance to get a cooling system flush. Don't give up cause of some broken bolts.

 

[Natey]

I took a bong-hit, so I'm calm, now. I'm still feeling like an idiot, though. Sorry for the rant; two hose-clamps, huh?

EDIT: Thanks for the offer. Terry went to the lobster fest and I think I've made you drive over here enough times for one week. I'm gonna go out there and see what there is to see.

 

[Natey]

I see a lot more than two hoses. Maybe it's part of the a/c or something, but there's hardlines attached to the radiator too.

My problem is, I have to extract the broken bolts, but there's not enough room for my drill to get a straight bite, so I have to take off the radiator to (hopefully) make enough room for my bad drill.
Then I'll be ******* up the car really bad when I attempt to get the broken bolts out.

 

[Natey]

At least the baby teeth came out easily. I don't know what all the hub bub is. It took me about 1 minute.

 

[jrodhotrod]

I for one can feel your frustrations Nate. My car still isnt' 100% and it's been one busted or messed up thing after another, most of it my fault or something that just wasn't installed right. But when it's all taken care of it will be worth it. Get a screw extractor for the bolts that are stuck in there, there are some really nice ones you can get at Sears. It's called bolt-out and screw-out or something like that, it will save your day.

As for me, I discovered a hole in my fuel line today, WTF. I guess it got pushed up against the block and that melted a hole in it, time to go find some fuel line and figure out how the hell I am gonna fix it.
