So on Sunday I drove my car to my mechanic's shop so that I could do my clutch install myself in his garage using his tools, since I no longer have any tools because they got stolen. This was the same mechanic who did my swap, but I had no intention of having him touch the car. Well it turns out that I'm 100% completely mechanically retarded...at the end of the day I didn't even have both axles out of the car.
![]() And since it was in the shop's main bay and my mechanic had to have it out of there and I had to work, I couldn't continue on it and had to pay him to do my clutch installation. So I got my car back today and took it for a drive...it is now so screwed up it's ridiculous. Now I have to hold the wheel ten degrees or so clockwise to drive straight! ![]() I also have a new paint chip on the side of my door from my mechanic hitting the door with something, and my front brakes squeal when I come to a stop. It's so ridiculously sick how retarded my mechanic is. My car was fine except for a bad throwout bearing due to my mechanic being a retard and using the wrong one on my tranny. Now it doesn't drive straight and my brakes squeal. ![]() I just don't even know what to do anymore...my car used to be nice...now look at it...it's a piece of garbage...I don't even think I could sell this car anymore. ![]() -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Woo Hoo! I just got back from a 2AM drive throughout the city and on some of the canyon roads and I think I'm back in love with the car. I don't know if it's the flywheel or the cool night temperature or what, but the car was pulling really hard tonight throughout the entire powerband!
![]() Combined with the better handling feel provided by having power steering back, the car feels soooooooo much better than it did before. I drove the car for an hour and a half and loved every second of it...something that hasn't happened in a while. ![]() -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
