</3er Yuta's S13 "To Hell and Back: a love story"
thanks for the compliments guys!
so today was interesting.
The new quarter started at school and it was my first day of "Intro to Auto 51A", you guys can probably imagine how that went.
after school i went to go strip down this car basically, my friend had totaled his S13 coupe, i mainly wanted the subframe. so thats what i did, right as i got there i jacked up the car and removed the subframe, which took me about 30 min. ahead of schedule, cool. then i busted out the ball joint press i rented from kragens. ONE bushing took me about 3 hours to remove. WTF? so i got all mad, but then the sun went down. so i fixed my loose hub on my car and cleaned up and decided to go back tomorrow with a better plan. I wouldnt mind the 3 hour bushing removal process if it didn't oval out the hole a bit and require me to smash my SPL bushings in with a wooden block. so im gonna do a bit of research tonight. oh, this is kinda cool, i got a AUTO shifter trim piece and i think it looks pretty cool.

i wonder if this shifter would still work normally if i removed the harmonic balancer thingy on it.

simply because although my shifter works fine with the auto trim piece, it hits a little and i think it would be cool if it didnt.

the rotors still have their coating on them.
im taking everything next time i go.
subframe was being a HUGE ***** so i threw it in the back of my car and am taking it to a machine shop tomorrow to get the bushings pressed out.
