I've gone through four turbo setups, a head rebuild, three transmissions, four clutches, a headgasket, three suspension setups, methanol, SAFC, Maftpro, and now ECMlink, a couple few timing belts, amongst other mods and maintenance.

Does that make you happy? Do I need to show you how I reassembled it all? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif




Three transmissions and four clutches /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif? Why? How did you reassemble it? I guess if I use your method of thinking, your wrench turning skillz in the drivetrain department aren't quite up to par judging from what you said? I mean, you are on your third transmission, so that must mean you aren't building them correctly. Either that, or you driving skills need some work. It's not like your car is putting down transmission eating numbers, that's for sure. Either way, I've never torn down an AWD 4G63 transmission or put one together. But, I guess I'll sit here and make assumptions about your abilities where I have zero experience, and say you suck at building transmissions. This is my assumption of course, since I don't know why you are replacing drivetrain components. I just base my opinions of your abilities solely off of what I think, not because of my experiences in those areas, or facts. Isn't that how you roll there, Wopper?

You were a prick to Barnes in this thread, a prick to me about the oilpan gasket, a prick to G when he questioned you about your bearings or fuel pump filter, etc, etc. I could go on. You're just a prick. So I said something and now you're butthurt about it. Get over yourself.



Can you go on and on? I'd be interested to see it. I'm sure everyone is grateful for your policing of the forums. Prick or not, I'm not sure how it's your job to make sure I'm held accountable for it. I think the only one I've really been a prick to in your list is you, so who's butt hurt now?

After 10+ years, I wouldn't expect it to?

I'll play because I get a kick out of this...

Stock clutch: toast
ACT clutch: blew the springs...twice (common issue)
Quartermaster: didn't like the harshness
TMZ clutch: love it (still using currently

I guess that makes five.

Stock trans: blew GVR4 first gear launching at the track (common issue)
Created a frankenstein trans out of that one and some other parts: worked okay until I 3-2 shifted twice at the track (sitting in the garage awaiting my attention now)
Current trans: English rebuild with Evo3 gears, welded center diff, the works: Shifts amazing

Wanna know how that valve got burned? I fucked up the tune trying out a new type of racegas back in '03. Live and learn.

The difference between you and I is that I never came on here and bitched or moaned about it. I also don't act like a complete prick to those that make suggestions when I did post a thread or two based on my failures. I chalk it up to "sh*t happens", fix it and move on. Whether it was my fault or not.

You blame your car, previous owners, etc. You do things like put a fuel pump into a tank that you know has garbage in it, use only a screen for a filter, and go drive it around "until you can come up with a better solution". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowrofl.gif Then you bitch at forum members that suggest that might not be a good idea. Maybe you should listen to these guys and just fix it properly and issues like the ones you KEEP HAVING won't keep happening. I hope some of that garbage gets caught up in the fuel system while you're WOT and you blow ANOTHER engine... I also can't wait for your sweet oilpan gasket to start leaking. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif So that you can come back on here and say "moar woes". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/gay.gif

For "the record" as you say, I never blamed the car, previous owner(s), or anyone else. Did the previous owners screw a lot of sh*t up? Yeah. All I did was express this fact. But, I'm sure you know all about that, huh? You had bald tires and a brake job to deal with when you got your car /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

Drive around while using a screen as a filter? I used this as a means to diagnose the problem, and a temp fix so I could at least start and run the car, not so I could go driving around the block. Yet another of your stupid assumptions. Please, tell me what else I'm doing wrong?

When the oil pan gasket starts leaking I'll let you know.

Well done sir, well done.

This could very well turn in a 1051 build thread.

Holy sh*t...did you see that..........that 240z in the back is sexy.

Oh but you always make sure to let me know I had it so much easier since I had a cream puff to start out with. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/roll.gif You're still bitching and moaning, when you should be wrenching. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

At the rate you're going, that's gonna be a lot more wasted engines. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/noes.gif
