What did you do today to your 3/S?

I purchased another one...

This one will probably be for parts, unless it's a simple fix.

Well I'm a bit pissed. When pressing the shaft into the end case I got the forks into a bind. I had to press it back out and inspect. I have to clean that up now and also the reverse gear doesn't sound good (at least the gear that lets things turn backwards).

I love to modify a car but fucking hate to fix them, right now I just feel like parting it out. Yes I'm being a bitch, I'll start back on it tomorrow but I'm irritated at the moment.

Good luck Paul, we've all been at that point that we just wanted to give up the car.

Speak for yourself

My dedication to this dead platform has never wavered

Yeah this one has the pipe flared out to a "flat" flange and a "floating" piece to bolt up to the pre cat pipes. It's great in the fact that lining up the bolts becomes easy, but the "flange " surface may not be great. Anyway I spoke to Dave (3sx) and he said it's optional. If I had a belt sander I would sand them to get them as flat as possible. But I don't so I'll just use the new gaskets I have and maybe smear a small amount of sealant on each side of them.
