Because I'm unemployed, aint like I got money to be working on this shit! haha j/k
As you may or may have not of read in a previous entry I had lost my job so that means there was some things I was unable to purchase out of luxury. One of those things being my LSD for my s13 (which was already on it at the time.) Being the previous owner "Luke" never removed it due to sheer laziness I decided to save him and me the trouble and offered to buy it.
5 months later it's getting repo'd lol. Luke swung by to pull the diff, I told him I had no way to pay for it and he could take it back as long as he put the stock diff back in place, so that was done as requested around last Thursday I believe it was.
I guess Ernie from DTC Performance needed the diff for a competition since he had a VLSD in his car... (ROFLS) hope you enjoy the diff bruddah! I'm going 1.5 when things turn around for me on this car. So it was nice to have you for one drive KAAZ 2 Way, you will be missed. But I just couldn't produce the disposable capital to keep you!
But onto my car...
I had my roommate order some delphi connectors for me so I could actually make plugs for my headlights instead of them being hardwired in as they were previously.
YAY!
It bothers me that this thing is soaked in gear oil...
But I seriously do not feel like dropping it to re seal it, so much so I just bolted the drive shaft up tonight.
A member on Zilvia was really cool and sent me some parts I needed for my build, saw that I was hitting some rough times.(and I'll definitely return the favor) But funny thing is I went shopping for all of this crap on Saturday and got all the wrong sizes for exhaust gaskets! Luckily I think I can get 18 bucks back from Napa.
That's the plan anyway!
Urethane exhaust hangars... the holes were too small so I had to take the dremel and make the holes bigger, burning hot urethane is very messy, that's all I'm going to say about that!
I seriously have no idea why they cut up the fender wells like that to do the pull. But I need to have some metal welded in there asap so it doesn't on the underside of the panel metal.
This is pretty much where I stopped at because I have no idea what in the fuck I did with the drive shaft retainer bolts... But I think I have a pretty good idea where they are now LOL! (transmission bracket)
(the clearance looks really tight on this, but let me tell you these urethane hangars are a godsend. No more fucking rattling against my chassis, damn car sounded like a coffee can full of rocks being swung out back when it idled.)
It was a bitch to get those hangars all on there and tightened up (two of them have bolts) one of which I think I stripped *doh* but at least I know that exhaust aint moving and that's all that matters.
I dunno where my other exhaust bolts are but I am thinking the huge bolts I had no idea where they came from belonged to the exhaust on the s13. So I guess they're going to have to do on the s14. I bought some fluids for the car to get everything together and what not so I can wrap up the electrical when $$$$ permits but left all of it in my girlfriends car. *doh*
Well I will work on this more tomorrow, I need to pick up my ganador's from Evan and stop giving that poor guy the run around and just ordered up the transmission and diff fluid right now with my last check.
Gotta get this car running so I can look for a fucking job lol.
c'mon unemployment!
