    off topic: anyone here a union ironworker?

    I sure hope so........my wife tells me that there aren't many things that scare me, but there are alot of things that piss me off......probably not the best recipe.

    I bought a vette off ebay...read before you bash

    really.....i saw it on ebay and it only had a few minutes left. I thought for sure that somebody would swoop in the last few seconds and outbid me. I didn't really beat on it, because, honestly I felt very uncomfortable in the car. It's like your sitting in this little capsule. I figured if I...

    I bought a vette off ebay...read before you bash

    actually only kept it for 2 day and my brother bought it off me for what I have in it. He is the one who originally talked me into buying it. He'll probably just sell it for more money, but I'm not out anything. I thought the car felt very underpowered, but I was amazed at the way that it...

    I bought a vette off ebay...read before you bash

    I bought this car off ebay, because it wasn't far away and I got it for the starting bid. I didn't think I would win, but nobody else bid. Take a look at the add, then look at the pics of after the $60 detail job...

    off topic: anyone here a union ironworker?

    correct. Pretty much can't stand the fact that I am a grown man who gets treated like a twelve year old all day long. I may be their "punk" (what they call an apprentice), but I'm nobody's bitch. I have a wife, two sons, newer cars to drive,a pretty nice house and made enough money at my old...

    off topic: anyone here a union ironworker?

    I just did a 360 degree career swap this week, after driving truck for 9 years.....so far it frickin sucks. Just wondered if anyone else here has made it through being a "punk". For the first 27 years of my life, if someone repeatedly insulted me, it was real easy.....they'd get hit in the...

    transmission whine

    they say it goes out from being overheated, or run low on fluid. You can replace the bearings and it may solve the problem, but usually by the time they are whining the input shaft has been damaged also. There is no removable race. Mine whined really loud when I got the car....the guy that had...

    Super Fast T-5 Disassembly Question

    I shifted into third improperly once (imagine that), the tranny banged really loud then god stuck in third. When I tore it apart there were teeth chipped on fourth gear.........still havent figured that one out.

    transmission whine

    The input shaft bearing (the one on the inside that connects the input to the cluster shaft) is usually the cause of whining in a T5. One way to check if this is the problem.........if it does it in every gear but 4th. When the transmission is in 4th gear, the input shaft and cluster shaft are...

    check this video out (has some quick stangs)

    That was the JPC car and I "think" that a car blew the motor right before that pass. Must not have had it cleaned up all the way.

    went to speed shop open house (pics)

    Yup...they had an open house. It was one of the stops for the Goodguys tour. It was cool, they seem like real down to earth people. There was no admission, nothing was roped off, free food, pop, beer. They unveiled a couple new cars....one was a 1400HP 69 camaro drag car, the other was a 69...
