oh shiiit? i had a wheelbearing go last week. whatd urs do?

Crossmember bolts stripped, threads where corssmember goes, stripped. Driverside CV boot (outboard) torn, I can see the races and cage from under my car. On a plus note the timing belt job went ok, and the car runs. Also amazed on how the car sounds running open header. So I got to rig this thing up somehow, have a few ideas tossing around.....

ah. just drill and tap the holes to the next larger size, even if its an SAE size. looks like you'll need a cv though

>
Usually thats what I would do, but I dont feel like going through all that. So Im going to pop out the radiator, move the condenser, and drill out holes there, run two bolts, and use a plate to bring the crossmember up. And I got a new (not remaned) CV on its way. And new tires as well. With any luck I should be up and running by Sunday.

i would tack the bolts in place through the rad support, and paint the welds. just so i'll never have to worry about getting to them when im removing/tightening tat set....but that's me, having a welding machine at home haha, its REALLY convenient.

good luck!

got a new route planned, includes the famous "lime creek rd" and maybe a new very long very curvy road, "cow creek rd" looks to be a total of 70 miles, and an estimated run time of 2.5 hours w/ about 75% hard turns
starts at the bridge, runs lime creek the opposite way as last time, and ends up in marble falls

gonna test it out this Saturday and see if it flows well, construction, bad road conditions, etc.

NEW ROUTE

well i already made the drive. i think cow creek has more "road hazards" but in all its a more chill drive. very scenic, constant curves, just a couple spots where if u go to fast u might end up in a creek. i need to make a few changes to thte route though

btw if anyone wants or needs to get a hold of me 361-648-8176. you can text or call

updated route

^ i wish we could stephen ... too much life stuff to deal with & unfortunately no time for any fun at all.
looks like a good route you have chosen. we'll see ya'll another time, maybe next year.

^we'll have another one in the fall.

CELICA UP! It lives again, now need to put on new rubber and Im all set!
I've updated my threads at the other boards, and Dillon said he'll probably roll in his Caliber.

that i definitely understand, i just got a house and if this was 3 months ago i couldn't do it either

the test run was pretty fun

though a motorcycle wiped out fairly depressing

glad to hear the celica is up too!

how much would you charge for a gallon of this magic resin?

Paul, do you know anything about the "Twisted Sisters" run?

G's getting some new tires on and I need to "fine tune" the sway bar settings.

Do you have the schedule for what's going to happen. I have some other commitments in the evening and I was wondering the timing on things.


Jim

Meet at 1. Photoshoot once everyone arrives. Run the cruise at 3, finish at 5.dinner. Done.


The multiday thing hardly ever works but I'm thinking of getting a hotel for fri/sat nights.

So, we are meeting at 1, will update the other threads, thanks!

I can make he meet but won't be able to make the cruise part.


Jim

So, who is all going to this thing? I figure a week away now, its either do or don't (save for those who have stuff at last minute.........)

Other threads updated, now to post a few more, in hopes of getting more members.

Well I'm obviously going lol. I'll text DEATH and see if he is still down

IDK... never sold it... lol.

uh... if i did cost plus a small percentage for my efforts- i see no reason it'd ever exceed hundred. Prly 60-80 depending on packaging and mixing materials? With directions and independent catalyst... i guess...

it's a method of Topicaly (or throughout) bonding polyurethane with a fiberglass mixture (designed to adhere to polyurethane) to repair stock bumpers n stuff. Honestly i found some materials that disintegrate Poly-U (that has a short lifetime of activity- before turning into some rock hard material that is about 3%larger in size after it dries & deactivates) and a bad ass adheisive that bonds to both poly and fg; mixed together with fiberglass resins and applied with a 4th and 5th chemical to get the biggest bang. 4 years it hasn't budged- and has been put to the test. (meaning i may or may not have ran into some ****- Plus a few boots have came at it looking to test it's operability. thebolt holes in the bumper have given wear and way; where's my patches haven't even sliped a hair) it's sandable, cleanable, and paintable.

i never figured there'd be a market for my mad science. HAHAH!!

>.< Man, funds are tight...not sure if I'll be able to make it now. :-\

hey haven't really been active...can anybody update me?
