    Why I had to drop the trans... Today I went digging. Problem is pretty obvious. Fused the pressure plate, clutch disc, and the flywheel together on my 7000rpm launch stunt.

    Took my WHOLE front sub frame apart, stripped it, and will be painting it soon. I do however need all new hardware for it, including a steering rack. After roughly 12 years of not being apart it was quite tricky tearing it down, I had to CUT the endlinks for my swaybar off, and beat just about every bolt out with my 30oz. But it all came apart in the end. Hopefully after a good clean and repaint it'll never get to be like that again.

    Pulled the spyder out of the driveway to make room for another guys 3000gt. We swapped his clutch and put in some motor mounts. Worst motor mounts I've ever seen. Every time he shifted the engine made a horrible clunk chunk chunk sound.

    He's a new member and just really struggling and couldn't afford to get it fixed. Considered selling the car just because he couldn't afford the clutch swap.

    Rocky mountain driveline for the rack. They do a great job rebuilding them. I have one of their rebuilt racks on my car as does Sin.

    Breaking bolts sucks, but is inevitable! Pics pics pics!

    Be wary of random strange guys offering an extra hand... make sure he's reaching for the stick shift and not something else.
