yeah, I've got my laptop sitting in the passenger seat... it's got a wireless card and high-speed connection... it also monitors my ECU, my Nitrous, and allows me to play my PS2 while driving... lol

Here's your sign...

Ok, no... but really... To put the prothane INSERTS in, you have to remove the stock mount, punch out the rubber, cut the metal sleeve, beat it out, beat the prothane inserts in the mount, put the mount back in the car...

Right now, I've gotten to the point where the insert is in and the mount is bolted to the frame... I've just gotta push the transmission/motor forward a/b an inch for all the holes to line up... and that's a PITA...(and you gotta be careful not to damage anything in the process...

hey, at least you are having fun. ;D

Well, no worry a/b moving that transmission to bolt that mount...

The transmission grenaded today... ;(

I'll be posting pics as soon as I get it home and get the camera out...

with that much power, it was only a matter of time. it still sucks though.

Mikelb · October 8th, 2006, 06:20 PM

damnit... now I gotta worry a/b more than a transmission...

The window was busted out, and the stereo was stolen... they tried to take my tags, but were unsuccessful... The also couldn't get the rims... the left a perfectly good stereo in the floorboard (one I had taken out of the Eclipse)...

So, now I gotta get a dash, put in the Alpine CD player, and put a new window in the door... along with a new transmission and possibly transmission...

I still haven't gotten the car back to the house...

did you leave her where she broke down?

Mikelb · October 9th, 2006, 01:10 PM

yeah, couldn't help it... I couldn't get it on a dolly... b/c the way that the transmission broke, it was binding the axles and wouldn't roll...

I finally got some ropes and jacks and jacked the transmission back up, and tied it in place... pulled it home... the axles were destroyed...

damn... what a weekend...

Mikelb · October 20th, 2006, 05:58 PM
