    I have my cap painted wrinkle black already. I would just need to machine it at work. I just want to leave it straight wrinkle black to match everything else=)

        Well I got nothing done on my compact Saturday. I did however work on a Alexs compact with him and Andy=D
        CAM00124zps76291edd.jpg

        We spent the day doing trans mounts and replacing the csb. When we got it all apart the csb was absolutely destroyed. The rubber around the bearing completely tore and the bracket was also snapped. We installed the new one and buttoned everything back together.

        We did this because when the car would be getting into torque, the driveshaft would slap right by our thighs. This was obviously the driveshaft moving more than it should at the csb.

        Well when we went on the maiden voyage, the car still maintained the issue=( There are only two things I think it could be. Either the output shaft on the trans is garbage or one/some of the bolts attaching the diff to the subframe have become loose. Both of these are easy things to diagnose. I felt so bad having spent all day feeling that we had fixed the problem.

        Anyways my build will resume Wednesday at the latest=D

          If all the time and energy you spent drawing penises and micropolishing dust mites was focused to turning wrenches, you'd be out doing burnouts and picking up beezys.

          FINISH IT ALREADY

                                  Its honestly my problem. Every night after work, its either girlfriend or project, and she lives with me, so its hard to say no sometimes haha.

                                      earl, when ever i come to your shop barely anything gets done. remember when we were lighting stuff on fire and then we were kicking a piece of paper around? or when jake came over and we played frizbee for a good hour? or when you were getting upset cause your car wouldnt go any lower, so we spent the day trying to figure that out, and then we found out your car was already laying on the ground?

                                          I just had the chance to read this thread, not in it's entirety but I got most of it. Great work and keep it up. Winter projects are great, no hurry, take your time and have a chance to really think things through. Enjoy!
