You must have twisted it with all the power you were making!
Did you ever run the zzp stealth alone, or did you always have the "front mount" too? I guess you could have had the front mount and added the stealth. I just have the stealth, and am debating if more will be beneficial. I figure the stealth, e85, and the occasional n2o purge on the stealth will keep temps in check. Yes, I was in on the big debate in the recent thread lol

What thread?
I always had the front mount, and added the stealth this last season. I had the worst temps ever this year but think thats because my meth pump was failing, i stopped running option b and probably had air all up in my system, and other reasons. So im not sure what to tell you honestly haha.

yeah its not worth it to resurface period. like i said ive seen one too many shops take them below spec. which to get below spec is literally nothing and then you will leave yourself with an over extended throw out bearing over time and have to remove the trans again. not worth it.

Dammit guys i cant catch a break.
This morning my 1999 blazer ran out of gas while warming up in my driveway.
I had to get to work so i threw like half a gallon of gas in it that we use for the mower (just gas, probably 2 months old)
Well its running choppy as **** so i stopped at. A gas station and out a few gallons plus some heet in. Made it to work okay after that.
Well after work it barely wanted to drive. It would turn off every time i got on the throttle so had to pretty much idle it home, just limped it to the local shop. Probably a fawking fuel pump or some other expensive ****. Its stupid because my gas gauge sucks and never shows whats actually in the tank. I go by the miles and must have miscalculated...

last year we dropped the cradle at the shop i work at, and left the car at my buddys gf's heated garage where he's building his race car.
this year i wasn't so fortunate so i'm doing it all in my 2 car heated garage. still a pretty good gig just kinda short on space and my dad's so pissed at me
car parts and boxes are everywhere.
so yea no room to work on my truck and F it, its cheap enough to have our local mechanic work on it, he's a really good guy with amazing prices ya just can't lose taking it to him. i gotta focus on the car but need the truck for my new job or im fawked.

Got all my parts exceot the axles and halfsbaft now. Gonna be busy puting **** together this weekend, trans on, subframe on, ic system back up and together. God damn i have a lot to do lol
Also figured this would be the place to announce a big change in my work life!
I just got a new job after a year of searching and throwing my resume around!
Ive been a civil engineer for 5 years and have been really burnt out, stuck where i am at, same pay blablabla.
Well i just got hired today at a firm that essentially helps big companies do their work. As in, its still civil work. But my job will be much more dynamic than just making drawings. I will be supervising work that the companies are doing, planning routes, revising drawings, managing, etc! And a deeecent pay increase to boot, which is just starting pay!
If i play my cards right, i think this new company will take me places, guys! So im very excited for something new. Im going in early in the morning to do a few things there, besides that, my 2 weeks notice is in at my current job.
The only downfall is, i am going to have a lot less freetime at work now, which is AWESOME because ive been so bored and depressed the last few years with my deskjob, but that also means no more css 8 hours a day
but im sure ill still maintain my star (if i currently have it that is) during the rest of my day so dont get any ideas bill

Well, my car got the best of me again tonight.
Got the right flywheel and fit her right on. New clutch is on.
Replaced a seal on the trans and fixed a plug that the wires snapped on while dropping the trans. Speaking of that check this out. Too much? Normal? Apparently this trans has 35k miles now
Finally i was try to replace the tob but one torx screw wouldnt budge and low behold it stripped. Idk what to do about it, couldnt get vicegrips on it and cant get a dremel on it to work in a groove for a flathead. Dont have a welder to weld something to it but maybe ill just have to bring it into work to have someone do just that.

If you have a Torx bit you're willing to sacrifice to the car, grab some jb weld qwik and use that to hold the bit. Just give it the full 24-48h to cure completely before you try removing it.
