Awaiting for the third engine swap after you break something once you fixed the clutch, reminds me of my RX7 adventures, spent enough money to buy 2 cars and ended up with one not running. That's when I realized I should stop doing half assed mechanical work.

After my first clutch job on my first project car (Mitsubishi Colt GLXI) I had some kind of whining at speed that drove me crazy. I was sure I hosed up something while doing the clutch and removed the engine maybe 3 times trying to fix the noise. After a while I got fed up and while checking the clutch for the fourth time while drunk I had the idea to tow the car at speed without engine and trans. Turns out it was a wheel bearing or something (replaced all the front end wear parts so I can't be sure but at least the whining stopped).

Rides smooth as glass now and hopefully will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I told you so

You know about this car I told you about with bad bearings after spending 3 months fixing clutch issues ? It got stolen. Police found it parked on a fire road in the alps without engine/wheels and with an actual hobo couple inside that's been using my 400$ pioneer subwoofer as an ashtray. It was not insured so I had to pay for a loving flat bed to go pick it up and then go there myself to install wheels on it so it could go on the truck and get it to the junkyard. The flatbed trip cost more than I paid for the car. I think if you get the bad clutch/bad wheel bearings combo you're better off setting the car on fire and roasting sausages on it.

Seat Safety Switch posted:The French police need to find some taxi drivers. This news article is pretty old but that's the only one I could find in english, the phenomenon has expanded and it's pretty common to see convoys using Audi RS6's or 911's. Last year a convoy was caught in my city because the transporting car crashed while outrunning the police in a souped up Maserati Quattroporte that was stolen like 2 days before from the owner of a casino. So yeah the police bought Subarus WRX STI and Renault Megane RS to catch them but it's much not working because they have scout cars and sometimes 500+ HP.
