Went shitb/o/x racing. 113 car enduro on a 3/8 mile track. Was doing good until I got hit hard in the LF and lost the tire, control arm and tie rod. Now I have to fix this turd and race it again because it was actually doing really good.

On the plus side this is the first time i used my F250 as a tow rig and it did fantastic, way better than my wagon.

Found out I had a massive coolant leak from the bottom of the engine. Shoved a bottle of bar's stop leak into it and that seemed to fix it. For now.

the fug did you do

>>15804162

Tried to drop my fuel tank to replace my fuel pump, stuck with a stuborn flare nut.

Also just found out my old man stripped and seized all my bolts for my fuel sender unit thinking it was my fuel pump after I repeatedly told him it wasn't, the other day.

I told him that I'd know what my fucking car actually looks like and he starts arguing with me so I made him a bet and he lost 100$


Stupid fucking know-it-all boomers I tell ya, last time I let anyone touch my car.

Had a seizure while driving. Slammed on the gas and jumped a median

>>15804509

Finished odds and ends after pulling the engine and then dropped my bent rim off at the shop to be fixed.

>>15804517
I escaped without injury besides the airbag fucking my face up

>>15804509
Oh shit my dude. Around here you lose your license if you start having seizures.

Can't drive for three montgs

Looked at 2 of the world's shittiest lexus ls400s. the old asian lady selling the second one seemed like she wanted nothing to do with it. i could see she got pissed when I told her it's not even worth 2000. looked at a volvo, said nope, and then a mint condition es300 for a reasonable price. left him a good offer after a test drive and thorough look over. should hear back from him soon.

will be nice to have a comfy daily

>>15804509

Jeez, sorry for your loss.

What did it feel like to get a seizure?

I had some guy behind me on the bus have a seizure but he had it, he told me he could feel it coming.

>>15804540
You're insurance is gonna buttfuck you

rip

>>15804558
I don't remember. I remember getting in my car, and the next thing a paramedic and cop are waking me up

>>15804564
Yup. It's gonna increase my monthly premium by 100%

>>15804162
Finished my front end suspension install.
Koni strt shocks, moog bushings and ball joints all around, painted stock upper and lower control arms and springs.
All new bolts, washers, and nuts, original spec or better.
Rebuilt and painted calipers and installed new pads and discs.
Cleaned and/or painted, sway bar hardware, replaced a few bulbs with leds, rewired fuel pump with a bigger Guage wiring kit (still need to finish running it to the alternator tomorrow) and replaced a fender.
Replaced a headlight assembly but still need to put a black cover on it instead of silver.
Bled brakes once, need to take the master off and bench bleed because the pedal still feels spongy, and install speed bleeder in the back. Poly bumpstops at the same time, I just have not taken the rear wheels off in awhile. That'll happen tomorrow.

You shouldn't even be allowed behind the wheel.

>Asked a cutie on a date
>All went well
>She wants to see me again

This was my first seizure. But yes. I feel horrible. Glad no one was killed

+1 for oil change

Cost me $40
I need to find a cheaper source of oil considering I do 600mi a week at least.

Got my front mount intercooler to replace my side mount.

Removed the bumper, old intercooler, modified some brackets and went through one hell of an ordeal to fit it.

The piping they sent was incorrect and didn't fit my car.

Put my side mount back on.

Still recovering in the hospital after some kid t boned my wrx. Neck is killing me, specialist comes in tomorrow to talk surgery. Glad this kid has good insurance for

I put brighter bulbs in the headlights

Got ignored by a tard on the forums who either wants more for his wheels than we agreed on, or wants to sell them locally, as he bumped his ad. Id prefer rpf1s but buying new shit is expensive and everyone and their dog has rpf1s. That doesn't bother me like it does stance kids, but it means the used prices of them are high and they sell quick.

>>15804509
Goddamnit didn't need to see that. 5 year epileptic here, currently unable to drive for a while

>>15804509
Ma nigga. I fell asleep at the wheel and totalled my shit box. Woke up to the dudes trailer hitch in my windshield.

Nothing but research so far. Does anyone have experience with "Performance" ignition coils? I have an HEI distributor with a sto'clock ignition coil hooked up to my nowhere near stock small block that I rev high all the time because lol 3 speed. Would a higher voltage higher amp High output coil like Accel really burn fuel better and give me a snappier throttle response?

>>15804509
is that blood or shit

>>15804830

New glasspack muffler and a bit of electrical work.

>>15804816
Are you in the midwest by chance? I was commuting to work and the exact same shit happened, some bloke fell asleep and totaled his mazda (I think it was a 3). I drove a 2012 nissan titan.

painted my grille glossy black, painted my plastic bumper the same, weather sealed the bumper with some clearcoat spray shit, and then swapped headlight assemblies. All I need now is a front emblem to put on the grille and the car will be looking rather spiffy. No pics until it's finished.

Used child labor to clean my engine bay

>>15805017
like most things in that car, did you outsource the labor to Mexico? :^)

forgot to fill the washer tank

>>15805023
Si

>>15804509
Glad your okay man. I bet you're grateful to be driving that merc when it happened.

>>15805073
Yes. The salesperson made it seem like if I was I was to buy any other vehicle I would die in a car crash.

I'd like to think my Ford Fusion wouldn't have help up as well but I mean my car is completely destroyed and I ran into a wall at a high rate of speed and the only injuries I sustained were from the airbag? Impressive !

>>15804162
Is no one going to ask what's going on in this gif?

>>15804618
>cheaper source of oil
Supertech $11 for 5 quarts

I was gonna detail it but as soon as I wiped the last drop of water off it, it started to rain.

>>15804805
>currently unable to drive for a while
Thank God

>>15805124
Glad you're alright. Seizures are scary as fuck. Never had em but I've seen them

I got some tire shine stuff and rim shine stuff and my wheels look 17 years newer

>>15806035
I think they were caused by my abrupt cold turkey off Xanax but I can't be positive

>>15804162

I replaced my exhaust pipe after the cat and the muffler. Seemed like an easy job but it was the most pain in the ass thing I've ever had to do. The two bolts holding the pipes together at the flanges had rusty nuts that stripped off. I tried a few things but just called up a friend who has a grinder. We thought we could just grind off the head and hammer it out, but we were wrong. They were pressed-in bolts, I had never seen them before. We had to grind almost all the way through the flange on the broken side of the pipe just to get these goddamn bolts out. I've replaced two CV axles quicker than getting those two bolts out. After that the rest of the parts went up in under an hour.

hit a fucking deer so I replaced the headlamp

Replacing the window regulator on my shit box grand prix again. Second time on this window, last time I used a factory regulator that was like 180 bucks. I put it on at 70k and it broke at 120k. This time I used the cheapest regulator I could get off Amazon.

Seems to work fine but the fucking thing's wires is reversed. Up is down and down is up on the switch. I didn't figure this out till after I had it in and everything bolted down. At some point i'm gonna have to go in and flip the wires with a cut and splice to make it work the right way.

>>15804162
I sat around and waited for it to get out of the shop.
Been there since last week.

>>15804433
Same. First oil change on my new 2017 wrx. Kind of felt a little sentimental draining out that oil that some ninja jap subaru tech filled her up with back in glorious nippon.

Drive it

>>15804162
Changed my front rotors and pads, the first one took forever since I didn't really know what I was doing. Second one took all of 5 minutes

>>15806046
sounds likely

Put on a cdc grille and steeda wing. Added a little insulation to the trans tunnel. Nothing /o/ would approve of.
