i hate my car

Post by Darthness »

better then walking, but it seems atleast once a week i'm in some weird ass position that even a hardcore porno wouldn't do just to fix something or figure something out.

when i wake up tommorow i have to pull one of my door speakers out to check if its either blown or if it just came uplogged.. i hope for the former, will give me an excuse to get a pair of JL coaxils

plugs, plug wires, dist cap, rotor bug, ignition control module, fuel filter, air filter, both fuel injectors, fuel pump, gas tank (used), fuel tank sending unit (used), front rubber brake lines (both sides), front brake calipers (both sides), front brake pads, front rotor (both sides), Carrier bearing, 4 new tires....


This is just about everything I've done to my truck since I bought it in june. First think I did was take it to my uncles shop and went to work fixing anything that needed attention, luckly I get discounted new parts, and free used parts.

I actually enjoy working on my truck, of course I take it to my uncles shop where he has all the nessacry tools to do whatever, so that makes it alot better...

well.. if you want to get into shit i did before i got into the system.. waterpump, alternator, suspension, some interior stuff, tires, probably other stuff. its really needing new breaks and the battery is going bad i think. i think the battery may have a leak or something.. theres whitish crud on the side of it.

93 Toyota Camry, two CV axles, transaxle replacement, valve shim adjustment, a water pump, radiator, alternator, catalytic converter, rack and pinion replacement, full front brake job due to a sticking caliper within a years time. Grand total of over $4000.

It is now in some poor guys hands after I gave it to Goodwill and got the tax deduction. It was either that, or a good sledge hammer treatment

What kind of mufflers did you use? Flowmaster orginal 40 series sounds really good on the 4.6's and 5.0's...
