It seems my WD 40 has grown legs and ran away.

It seems my WD 40 has grown legs and ran away.
It also appears that my 8 wrench has disappeared.
I'm not sure, and I don't have the time/tools to test everything. I went ahead and replaced the cap and rotor since I had bought them a year ago, but that didn't fix the problem.Quote:

Bobby, I have an internal coil if you want to try that out.
just replace the whole distributor. Anybody that's fooled with honda's long enough knows they suck. I had to replace the one in the prelude 2 or 3 times. It went completely dead once and started cutting the second time. my teggy once and my crx once.
Replace it with something with a decent warranty and you'll be fine.
as long as its not a fuse. lol
parents are hounding me to sell my legend and my civic and get something newer............................how about a subaru legacy or wrx?
my god!!!!!
your like the 5th person talking about getting/got one since i got mine.....
A word to the wise- unless you want/need/gonna use the turbo power, just get a 2.5rs. The 2.0 turbos (all 02-05 wrx's) have horrible power below 2.5k for daily driving. they're somewhat lathargic. The non turbo 2.5 cars are great for everyday driving and come with the same AWD setup and lower maint costs.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH BOOOOOIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!
Parents rented a new Camaro while my brother's car got fixed. This car was probably one of the biggest disappointments I've ever driven. I imagine the V8 would've been better, but still. Wow. It probably would've been better if it wasn't an automatic too. The tiptronic system SUCKS!! Plus everything in the car seemed out of place. There are so many blind spots in the car and the windshield is rather tiny for such a bulky car. After about 45mph it pretty much loses it's kick and dies down almost. It's kinda sad. Either way, this car's bark is definitely worse than it's bite. It was really upsetting. Oh well.
EVO! EVO! EVO!!!! Or WRX! They are both FTW!!!Quote:

Yeah....get an EVO.
Roxie, I could have told you the camaro was a waste.
LOL WE DIDN'T BUY IT!!! It was a rental. It was just something I got to drive around for a day while my brother got his car fixed. I would never buy a Camaro.
And I'll be getting a miata once my parents get back on their feet and don't need help with bills.
I cant tell you how many 15mm Gear wrenchs I've gone through. It gets really expensiveQuote:

For some reason, I was under the impression PTC people didn't have bills. Must have been the Porsches and whatnot.Quote:

In other news....think my transmission is about to take a shit on me. Leaking like hell and now it's making a sound like an axle popping but can't see any visible damage to the axle.
I barely have any......Quote:

First I couldn't get the fill plug loose, then the damn pump isn't working, and the turkey baster I have in the garage has brake fluid all up in it from draining the cylinders.
Wound up losing 1/4 qt of Royal Purple to the floor.
Buuuut on the bright side, my new top and shifter gaskets come in tomorrow, and I'm supposed to meet up with the guy I bought the spare parts engine from and get the injectors.
Just a couple of things left to do before it's road worthy.
Pictures of Miata's current state?
Is it only making the noise while turning, or is it just under a load? Could it be possible either the CV shaft is bad, or possibly that it isn't seated all of the way?Quote:

I got fed up with the bullshit fluid pump, so I ripped off the hose and shoved it onto the oil spout and just squeezed the bottle. Took a little bit of effort, but it's all filled up.
I've got it on jackstands right now, as I just finished replacing all the fluids... transmission and diff are filled with Royal Purple 75w90, engine is filled with the cheapest oil I could buy for right now using one of the filters I got with the spare engine. I plan on seafoaming the car, driving it for a day, then switching to RP with the K&N filter I have.
Gotta go to Autozone tomorrow to pick up some coolant and a hose clamp, finish what's left to do in the engine bay, replace the shifter gaskets, bleed the brakes and clutch, and hopefully install the new soft top. And ofcourse finish the case of beer I have in the cooler!

Just when yall finish, I will be starting hopefully.
Got the new top installed. Only took a couple of hours, not counting the time I spent having to break into the garage 'cause I shut it and it locked with the opener inside.
Got me a hitch today woohoo
Got my exhaust all set up, and now it sounds like a pully is being raped by a tree in my engine...
Who's going tomorrow?
I won't be out there. Duty calls...yay
Dumont, how's the M3 coming along?
