Kernchan, someone is asking how to get the stock shift knob off...

I just gave him my professional DIY

STEP2: Done! :tup:

how to do an oil change...

Step1: do oil change
Step2: done! :tup:

:ugh:

so i ran out of time this am coming to work could not pull out my STI.. :ugh:

i woke up, fell asleep again, saw bad dream i was late, i woke up, not late, but late-ish.
pulled my G, got to work on-time. :p

So I take it there was no snow?

:icon17:

Step 1.5 -- pour used oil down storm drain

:rofl2:

nooo~~!

yah, luckily no snow in my area. it is favorable temps for snow though.. :ugh:

Springs shipped!!

I just checked on my car and the snow is already melting off it. We got about 3 in. and im not going to worry about wipping it off as I for got a brush.

Pulling out the 737 in 22 hours... just found out I have to go to NYC in the morning.... :ugh2:

:shakes head: obviously noone shipped Spring (season) to u.. :ugh:

my pumpkin head will not fit under Z without lifting.. :ugh: i put my Z's rear on ramps when i did the fujimura cans.

Time to start looking for a new job. Just got insulted for my raise...

15 cents. Is that even possible? 0_o

I like new toys.

:rofl2: sorry but too funny :icon18:

woo~ nice :excited:

this is a piggyback system?

back like 15+yrs ago i had to install ecu piggybacks in order to change maps and tune a turbo car with my notebook..

now a days frikken AccessPort is like 2x the price, but so easy to flash the ECU and data log, etc with no laptop.

That's just a joke to my well being. I'm looking for new jobs.

Nothing cool like that lol. Just an air-fuel gauge.

:icon17: still very cool. :tup: when is ur a-pillar coming in? :p

yah, it is insulting for sure on a serious note.

Not sure when it will show up. I just tossed my money at him and said whenever :tup:

:D :excited: indeed!

my wife did our tax return yesterday.. yah, i know we're kinda late. looks like we get a tad over a grand back this year, but since she spent like a good 8-9hrs figuring out the best option to file, i told her she can keep it and donate watever she wants to me. :icon17: haha

i might get $0.15 too.. :rofl2:

kenchan - :gtfo2:

im still kinda undecided if i want to do the rear fog on my STI.. kinda lazy to do it, actually.

reason being, during the 7yrs i have my Z the ONLY time i actually used it was once. :rofl2:
well, im sure i would drive my STI in bad weather more, but still.. :ugh:

Do not iggy-list yourself...

i tried dat but it said it i cant ignore myself.. :mad:

i should get the STI fog with the triple mode... it has parking, braking, and reverse lamp modes. pretty cool.

but then it's LED so it would look weird with my reverse light which i believe are regular bulbs. :ugh: the brake lights on the STI are LED.. i think.. i should ask my wife to step on the brake pedal.. lol

Shift knob removal people annoy me who are to wimpy. Just wrap it and turn.

the shaft does need to be supported though (even the service manual shows that) under the boot. otherwise the torque you give it can twist the internals pretty badly.

but the gaffer tape idea u mentioned in the past, very good.

the amount of torque i was putting on the knob was probably well into 100ft/lbs i think.. if the knob can be unscrewed with no tools like most cars, then probably no more than 25lbs or so, and would not require supporting the shaft.

been making a lot of presentations on DIY's today for my successor. :D

how to do kenchan's job..

step1: :postwhore:
step2: done! :tup:

:rofl2:

k, enough :postwhore: from me, ur turn..!

When I did mine I had to go take a nice hot shower and decided not to work out that day. I came back upstairs all sweaty and red. My wife asked if everything was alright. Smh. Mafuqin own shift knobb!!!!!!

:rofl2: but yah, not sure why nissan had to use the whole bottle of threadlock on it! :mad:

So today has been crap. On top of the snow It soon turned into sleet then heavier sleet, and now it's back to snow. The roads aren't treated because of the sleet. The bridge to go home was shut down because of a semi on fire with hazmat. The alternate route was blocked by a dipchit driver plowed into a pole. Good thing I'm not going home today or else I would not make it home in a timely manner. Oh and last night a C5 corvette caught on fire on the Same bridge.

Just applied to 3 different places. Not taking shyt from anyone. I know what I deserve to make and what I deserve to get in a raise. Don't tell me to my face that i'm the best technician they've ever had and then give me 15 cents. Screw you.
