Just did clutch / tyres / exhaust this weekend.

It's always good to have a mate to help you get the gearbox out and back in again, jeez i had some fun on my own. ^_^

[dr1ft-pig]

That is my vision of hell right there dude, I don't mind doing it with a T-50, but a W58 can go get itself fucked haha.

The couple of times I've worked with the W58 it's always been on the hoist. :crazy:

Exactly man, so good. Oh except the smokes.

[rich_86]

slipps and anyone else that says its fun are sick fks....lol joks...nah working on a car is not too bad jus wish i had a fkning hoist some days....working on the ground sucks...and jus those little fknin niggly bolts or nuts that are jus the biggest cnuts to get in you know the ones....other then that i wouldn't rather be doing much else thou...jus need some money....

[Roku_70]

i totally agree... working on cars on the weekend when there is nothing going on is a great feeling. the best feeling though is when you sit down afterwards staring at the days acheivements... very rewarding

[SLO-030]

Its good when its not 40 degree whether like it is here atm.... Working in that heat out in the sun sucks...

[Fozz]

working on the car is great...


till something breaks or doesnt want to work

[AEE86]

Been working on the car this whole week, new LSD, gearbox, traction brackets, panhard rod.. get out on the road and guess what? altenator decides to die.. But for the 15 mins or so it was great. Now I have something to do next weekend :)
Beer smokes car FTW!

yeah like work on monday or my new favourite finishing before it rains (no garage) weather of late is a killer

[starni_boy]

Worked on my car both days of this weekend.

A mate and I sanded all day today, and I actually thought it wasnt too bad. Funniest shit ever happened, but yeah I didnt mind it.

Half the car is now in primer!!

yewwww!!

[Waz]

Putting parts into a car that wasn't designed for them is shit...Buying kits that are 'surposed' to fit them parts into the car but don't is shit.

Once you mod something there is atleast another modification around that one that has to be done for the first one to fit or work propely. One step forward, 2 steps back. Shit.

Coming home from working on shitbox cars to work on your car is a pain.

Motorvation to do car stuff on weekend is shit.

Rant over? Possibly not SHITE!

[stylz]

wow, just fixed up some of the bog on the rear qtr panel, sanded it down and went to paint it.
and it turns out my whole matching by 'eye' technique didnt go over too well... now the qtr panel is way too light, and also glittery.
makes it look like a raving homosexual

your nuts

[breno]

i enjoy working on my car.
but it can also be the worst thing in the world.

but the best thing is taking it for that first drive after u have done major things to it.

[MARKE70]

I absolutely love working on my car

WHEN

i have the motivation (never have any)

I'm in the right mood (never in it)

i have the right tools (never have them)

things don't break (shit always breaks)

stuff doesn't go missing (it allways does)

and for Zac and Johl your dad doesn't come out to have a screaming fight (he allways does)

so yeah i strongly dislike working on my car lol. But if i have to so i can slide her then i will do it.

shut up just shut up hahahaha

[Gilly]

bolt on shit is fun like suspension rims, engine swaps etc

sanding, bogging, any medial task is lame and gets put off, for weeks, whilst i buy the cool parts i want to fit but can't until i do the aforementioned, sanding, bogging, sanding priming, painting has occured

I've done my last 2 engine conversions on gravel thats on a slight hill, i am well and truly over it. I'd do anything for a bit of concrete, engine cranes seem to kick up a fuss when you try and push them on gravel <_<


But on a positive, the experience is quite worth it :rolleyes:

[slide86]

i don't even like looking at my car, let alone working on it. there is nothing wrong with it.....

but after working on cars all night every night ( i work arvo shift at my work) the last thing i want to do is work on another one in my spare time.

i do however buy lots and lots of expensive parts for it that are currently sitting in my spare room :)

well if it breaks it isnt goin any further than you can throw a monkey wrench.

still theres alot of motivation in seeing your car ALMOST there!!!!!!!!!

[Waz]

I got zee motorvations from zee councilzzzzz now...

I can't believe they had the nerve to call my car derolict,damaged vehicle and beyond repair on the pretty little yellow sticker attached to my windscreen.

This is a good reason for you to actually put current rego stickers on your cars kids...mine expired october 07 and new sticker was on my bench.

So they decided.. get fucked we want your 'un-registerd' car off our naturestrip(which is also illegally parked), you got 3days to do so or it will be impounded.

Anyone up for helping me push it so it looks like it moves?

Theres another rant.

[wide s13]

everytime i work on my car its not little things its like replacing 10xmanifold bolts that all snap of in the head grrrr!!!

yes that is so true... as i said, if you bought the right equipment it wouldn't have taken you another 3 weeks to get it running lol... that is awesome persistance! i owe you a drink for sure! should have put it in the garage lol... anyways its all done now but has to come straight back out anyways! I'm sure you wont be doing that again!

[Vezza]

Have you ever noticed, the enjoyment of working on your car greatly depends on what you are doing to it?

If you have to find a wiring problem because your engine is running weird, or you need to pull the head off the block because you've somehow managed to drop something down an open throttle... i could only imagine that'd it suck balls.

But if you're installing a new performance part.... say a turbo it becomes fun all of a sudden!
Until you start her up, take her for a spin and just when you hit full BOOOST.... it throws a rod out the side of your block.

Then it's back to being not fun to work on cars. :lol:

[biggo]

haha
how bout putting in an LSD, thinking OMG OMG SKIDS!

only to find out you smashed a bearing putting the sucker in

[Vezza]

Yeah... and thats when the car tends to sit around like a stinking pile of shit for about 2 months, before you build the motivation to tackle it again. Unless it's your daily, which means you're probably up shit creek, cos you started working on it fri night thinking, easy done by sun! But by mon, you're borrowing yeah mum's Hyundai Excel.

[MountainRunner]

When u have a deadline shit hits the fan u got to much things to do but when lil things work out makes you sane again

I hate it, turn up to a mates place last nite at 8:30pm thinking, "yeah new steering rack, no problems"
Little did I know that hicas cefiro steering racks are a little bit different
s13 is supposed to be "bolt in" yeah my ass.
1:30am this morn, car is still in his garage and he gives me a lift home, work rings me this morning, I say "nah can't, have no car" :(

[slydar]

i have actually been enjoying a spot of panel work this morning. wow.

[Marco]

what really sucks is having no motivation to get that backyard bullet done so you can go and rego it and have happy fun times, Because you have been working on other people's shit boxes all day and the last thing you want to do if go work on your own.

[orange32]

I hated working on my corolla. Trying to make parts that weren't supposed to be there fit really pisses me off.

I don't mind working on the nissan. I haven't had to do anything overly difficult yet, but its been enjoyable so far.
