93523, More pics of my car and an unexpected occurence
Posted by dsmmyth, Apr-11-06 06:00 AM




I went to get my car aligned this morning and kept hearing the occasional screeching of belts. I knew it was from my car.

Nevertheless, I say it's no big deal since I can adjust them when I get home.

Anyways, they tell me I'm leaking oil, and it's from my rear seal. :(

Lol, no I'm all NT.

That's a billet grille. That's so I can log on the trucking forums and appear to know what I'm talking about.

Haha, sorry.

I'm trying to fix my leak and all you can care about is your pics. Tsk tsk.

It came from the VC gasket btw, and not the rear seal, which is awesome news on my part.

That's real damn good news man. I know what it feels like to have the car portion of your heart broken. My HG blew a couple weeks ago, so I'm thinkin, "No big deal, that's a weekend to fix.". But no, come to find out not only did my HG blow, but i snapped a connecting rod also. So now I'm gonna slowly rebuild the whole damn motor.

Paint those wheels black w/ the lip polished then put on the rsdm chinn lip and get back to us.

Definitely a breath of fresh air. From 10-20 bucks for a new gasket to 1000 bucks for the seal job.

It might also be feasible to find a motor already ready to drop in that someone's trying to get rid of.

Nah, if you remember back I had that paint setup on my GS 5 spokes.



I'm just not going to mess with painting wheels anymore.

As for the lip, I don't need more things scraping on the road. You've seen Shuwa's clearance.

Here's another one since I can't do anything to the car until I get a new VC gasket.
