Started pulling the trans out today to replace the TOB and take the clutch back invade the ring that holds onto the TOB is damaged. I have to get this thing done so I can make it to MOD11.

Are you guys ready for the calipers?
|
I'm waiting on him.

Sounds good

The story of my life:
![]() Why do I always have shitty luck? I had to pull the motor and trans TWICE because of a faulty pressure plate that couldn't hold onto the TOB. I'm hoping it's an easy fix and I can finally start driving it again, but I'll find out tomorrow. It just started leaking out of the brand new water pump, which is inside with the timing belt. |
Mmm, I can smell the sweetness
|
All that it was: a stupid o ring had to replaced. Car runs good now, but I think one of my injectors is sticking now.

Cars are only marginally better than a drug addiction.

I would have to agree with you on that one.

They're both addictive to varying degrees and pretty gnarly money pits. Actually, growing your own weed would be far more cost effective than being sucked into the car hobby. Actually, some of those guys make serious bank so keep that in mind the next time you make fun of a pot head. :jester: I'm not advocating drug addiction here, just making light of how expensive it is for the common man. I get the impression, while there wasn't nearly as much cool stuff in the olden days, what they did have was relatively far more affordable, but I could be wrong. The car hobby, like a lot of hobbies, unless you let it put in the poor house, or interfere with other more primary relationships in your life, is very healthy. It's given me the chance to meet a lot of interesting people I wouldn't have met otherwise. Also, there is a lot of pleasure in thinking up what to do, then doing it, then seeing the results. In a very real sense for me, it's not actually about the car. Grasshopper. |

I totally agree though, if i didnt have my car addiction I wouldnt have the love of my life. Also, you have to remember, any time I have a chance to be a smart ass, i'm going to take it. |
Got the car back together and runs good. I had to go to 6 different junk yards to find the parts I needed.

Car is running great now. Clutch has about 350 miles on it and holding up great so far. I adjusted the wastegate actuator and upped the boost to 10.5psi. Car pulls so hard right now. First time I punched it in 2nd gear actually scared the shit out of me! 3rd gear is pretty scary too. Im a happy camper now. Made my pee pee tingle too!!

May this car RIP. In the 3rd Gen Eclipse world, aftermarket support is nonexistent. I've managed to do things to this car that many dream of. Enjoyed the 7 years I've owned this car as well. Whoever buys my engine setup is going to be very very happy person.
