    I would probably go if I didn't already request off work on the 19th for my birthday. We are taking the cars to elephant rock/Johnson shut-ins

    Uuugh so sore and tired... 6 hours to get the old out and new in. New rear main seal, new flywheel, Spec 3+ clutch and pressure plate, new rear transmission seal, and new trans fluid. Jack Junkies was closing so we had to get it all back together at that point. Still on the list are new U-joints on driveshaft, new diff fluid, and new diff cover gasket. About another hour and a half of work or so. Car feels so different now though. Trans is super easy to gear shift, doesn't have that sorta muscle-it-in feel I'm used to lol. Gotta tweak the clutch pedal, too, cuz it's engaging almost right off the floor right now. Almost made it all the way home (25 minute drive) and stalled it once a half mile from the house -.- lol. Went well though, and got some pics to put up, plus a pic of a nice little trick we found to get the clutch fork in a little bit easier for anyone else who's never attempted it.

    well they got away with my prescription meds my TVs and both my game consoles and a ring that has a lot of meaning to me. They passed up all the car parts and a bike that is a competition downhill bike and all kinds of other goodies that could have fetched a pretty penny. worst of all they destroyed the new back door that was dead bolted shut and my dogs were let out and found at the motel 6 about a mile or 2 from my house and taken to the pound. I was called as I left work telling me that my dogs had been picked up. That is when I knew something wasn't right because I knew I had left them in the house and deadbolted the doors. I think it is the ex because my neighbors heard nothing and my dog barks if the wind blows the wrong way.

    Was wondering why you started so late in the day to do the swap. Glad you got it back together before they closed.....

    Looking forward to updates!

    Unfortunately on Sunday they're only open 12-6. Saturday would've been better, 9-8, but my dad had to work, so that was out. Can't wait to get it good and broken in though and see what she feels like now.
