Sweet deal Joe. Glad to hear you got it running. You have beat me getting mine back on the road. Now I will have to finish it up next week. Can't wait to see your work.

Woah guys, you're getting way ahead of me! I still need to bleed the brakes and get an alignment done before it's road worthy! But everything else is good to go and I did drive it around the yard It was fun! Tonight I'll take it out on the road if Denny gets over here and helps me bleed the damn brakes.

Ok, I'll spill it, my clutch problem was that I installed the friction disc backwards. I was in a hurry, I was distracted by Denny hitting me in the head with a saw, and I was tired as ****. I've never done somehting so stupid before, car related. I don't want to hear any jokes, I'm pretty pissed off about it, and I'll probably kicks anyone in the ***** who says anything about this again. So that's it!

But I am proud of myself, in 2 hours I removed the tranny, switched the clutch disc around, reinstalled the transmission, and had a slice of pizza followed by a cool refreshing Molson Canadian All on my own. Sure, I'll bet you've done better, but I did it without a floor jack and anyone here that knows me knows I'm not a big guy, hell Jason Debler isn't much shorter then me, but he's definatly weaker. J/K Jay, had to pick on someone today!

Well I'm gonna go head out to the garage and top off the fluids, fire it up and drive my neighbors crazy. Keepin the peace.

Joe: You do realize that those discs have a sticker on them that says "flywheel side", right?

Congrats on getting her going there Joe.

I still like the fact that we're sitting around drinking by the pool and you're going over the clutch problems in general and then bammmmm... the light clicks. Joe says something along the lines of; "That might just be it,... it might be backwards".

Who says a few beers hurts your reasoning skills???

Hey now, my brother did those brakes, so you know they are good.

Brakes work good, but their is still some air in the lines, I'll bleed them some more and it'll be perfect.
