The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

Levi, I was planning on wrenching tomorrow anyway, I'll always help you out.

Wes, that sucks. But it could be worse. Can't you just get a universal rubber bootie and re-pack it with grease? Or will you need to buy a new axle? But even then, an axle is what, $70? And at least now you know why it was making that weird sound.

what's wrong monkeyass? Evan and I will be working on my car, but it won't take too long.

its either gonna help or make it worse and right now it may be worth the gamble
lets just say its been a really bad friday even the fact that its noon and im in OT doesnt help one bit....

You said your clutch is going? What's a 50/50 shot? New tranny fluid with synchro mesh?

How does new fluid help a clutch?

 

[Lewis7789]

After I posted that I just KNEW you would say that. Haha! Well, see, the clutch is surrounded by engine oil and brake fluid. If the clutch starts to slip all you need to do is add some windshield washer fluid to cure it. Works everytime.

I'm multitasking at work on my lunch break with a samich in one hand, and 3 browser windows open. I didn't think before I posted.

It would be nice if Levi gave us a little more info. Don't be scared to type, Levi. We're all friends here.

sorry today has been so much stress im on the verge of a mental breakdown

between the clutch starting to slip, knowing i dont have the dough to fix it, and losing alot of work (9 hours of work to be exact) from the server last night and trying to get it all done while having my boss flip out over something i cant control... its been a really bad/crazy day

Oh, as of October 1st, Lewis Motorsports will now be charging a flat rate of $50 per car for labour. Thank you. -Evan Lewis, President of Lewis Motorsports.

Just kidding. That sucks everyones cars are taking a poop. But I'll always lend a helping hand, mates. Saturday works for me.

Well, if it has to be done, might as well get the lightweight flywheel and the exedy stage 1 clutch....

Anybody from the other areas of Ohio going to the October 10th SCCA event (last of the year) in Fostoria, OH? Just wondering because of where Fostoria is located on the outer edge of NW Ohio.

from nk2a's thread...

Too much poke, and too much stretch. The tire doesn't look like it's properly seated on the wheel, and the wheel looks naked sitting so far out from the tire. I understand the overall look you're going for, but for as well-executed as everything else I've seen from you has been, this look falls short, IMO.

^ hater. This s*** is on point

*sigh

we keep losing more good people to the stupid slammed craze. all of us who don't dig this stuff need to have a "hater" sticker on our cars or something.

what i dont get... is why do they need to have the widest wheels they can fit, if they are only going to put 195's on them? s***, my stockers still have 195's on them. it looks so stupid with the rim of the wheel sticking almost an inch out of the edge of the tire.

 

[Lewis7789]

^ hater.









Just kidding. We will never understand the slammed craze. I just noticed another one of my RPF1's has a dent in it. I can't imagine any slammed cats running lightweight wheels. They would be trashed in a year.

Hater.


Yeah, light weight wheels like we saw tonight?

 

[o0n8]

i think we should've borrowed (taken) a set, just to see what they look like on our cars
