Lets set the scene. I blew a CV joint bout 3 weeks back. So I went and got an axle to replace it, its easier and not too much more expensive. Takes a week for them to get the axle, great. While I'm waiting for the axle I think, mine as well get some other stuff taken care of also. I have a 3'' downpipe waiting to be put on, so I started that. I had a bushing kit for the shifter cables, put that in too. Changed some oils, tightened some bolts yada yada yada.
Well then I find I need a bung put on the downpipe, so I bring it somewhere to get done, then I find I didnt really need the bung, ok whatever, better safe than sorry. So great, got the DP done and todays the day, finally 3 weeks later I will drive the car and it'll be faster and it'll be awesome woohoo. ![]() Yeah, right. I'm pulling out of my garage, I'm just out of it when I hear a god-awful noise. Immediately I think, uh oh, the axle. I push the car back in the garage, jack it up, and what has Celica given me: ![]() Another day of fun. I'm going to Taco Bell to cheer myself up. What a waste of a read right? -------------------- |
