changed my rotors and brake pads and i still hate monday's

Did something productive at least

yeah, i guess that's true.

i didn't get to bleed the breaks, wasn't enough time. i might do that this weekend. also, i have to get the engine oil changed.

yah, the only time i am in neutral is under 5mph. and dont hold the clutch in more than several seconds. probably the reason why ive never had tranny issues on any of my MT cars through the years.

i think people should just learn how to really drive MT cars if they are going to buy and most boast about their MT cars. most folks cant even heel and toe and they pretty much suck at driving MT cars in general. :gtfo2:

but den again, thanks to the confused we still have a market for MT cars so i guess im happy about dat. :rofl2:

I'll shift into N from 20 and under. I know I'll be coming to a stop anyways and the control issue is negligible at that speed. I just can't shift from 2nd to 1st. Hell, i rarely go from 3rd to 2nd when coming to a stop. I'll just ride out 3rd until I'm close and then brake while in N. Just easier.

yep just use 3rd while u glide to a stop.

Kenchan approved :tup:

:stirthepot:

May ur tranny live a long happy service life. :rofl2:

:iagree:

EW can date the lawyer, I'll take the judge.... :yum: :yum: :yum:

While doing things two or three times is great practice, it absolutely sucks having to do that task on your own car. :icon14:


I'm having flashbacks to when I was learning.....:eek:

I attended their Annual Conference and Expo in Vegas earlier this month. I am an alternate on the NFPA 5000 Building Systems Technical Committee.

What did I miss?

Time for a healthy salad with garbonzo beans, grape leaves, and feta

:hello:

Wish it wasn't raining. need to figure out where the major metal/metal rattle in the hatch is coming from when my exhaust hits 4k rpm.

Have gf curl up in the hatch area and listen? :rolleyes:

Could be that one dead hooker from last weekend:ugh2:

Afternoon all. May the force be with you on this glorious monday in the last week of june in the year 2016.

could be it wasn't connected good or a flange is rattling... couple of things really. it probably happens at that specific vibrations of the car

This happened at 75 mph today in the Honda :eekdance:

The next rep or two I get will likely push me over 66,000.

Who will be the one?

It will feel like finding the Golden Ticket felt to Charlie Bucket.

:icon14:

Soooo close... next one will get it

:icon17:

Are you OK? The tire blowout looks scary.

That was my thinking when I saw it. I couldn't even call roadside assistance for a ride because I left my phone at the office :ugh:

At least the wheel and tire warranty covers replacing all tires as needed. So I'll get at least two new front tires. And if the rear tread is low enough, they replace all four :tup:

yay!! I did it!!!

You're welcome. :tiphat: :hello:

Winner!!! :tiphat:

We must have repped at the same time. >.<

:tup:

Who did it OnZ?

WE MUST KNOW!!!!!

Glad you're safe JAR. That's a pretty major blowout. Wonder how and why.

We promised to never speak of that again... She knew the risks...

I'm betting it's a flange. I may strip the whole rear this weekend and tighten/deaden some stuff.

It was actually gradual. Tire light came on first, so I was paying close attention. Within the next 1/8 mile I noticed the car pulling to the left. Within a 1/4 mile I started feeling the vibration and pulled over immediately. Only scary part was changing a tire on the side of a 75 mph highway. Normally, I would never even consider doing that. But having no phone didn't leave me with much of a choice. I had the tire changed and back on the road in about 10 minutes, so it wasn't too bad.

Ms. Pint beat you by 2 seconds.

Thank you for your support -- all of you.

:woot:
