My uncle wants to give me his Cherokee at the beginning of the year. This sources an engine, harness, computer, holy poo poo a ton of things I can use for my truck and my dd. This frees up some cash to get my transmission taken care of, and I might pay for a hydroboost brake system as well if I'm clever parting things out. Free car. Free car! HOLY CRAP FREE CAR!

It's a 93 2wd auto, and I believe the 2wd and 4wd transmissions were slightly different, so that probably won't help me any. The transmission problem, I think, is my torque converter. Very little power gets delivered, I couldn't even drive out of the driveway. When I tried starting (which I couldn't do because my battery was weak, but that's another story) I heard a winding-down sound, like something was spinning down. I had just installed my exhaust system, including a cat, but I don't think this is the cause as I had the same problem a few weeks ago driving her into the back yard. I was flooring it and couldn't get up a little hill. Now I think I can do a torque converter on my own. With the engine out, I should have all the access I need unless pulling the entire transmission is absolutely required. Listen for three thunks, they say. But I've got a lot of reading to do first, transmissions intimidate me. About hydroboost, I've got an idea. People have been tapping into the power steering pump with T junctions to power their brakes and steering at the same time. The downside is that braking and turning at the same time can require some more muscle. I don't need air conditioning, so that frees up a spot to mount something. Know of any power steering pumps that would mount where the AC goes?

I've got a 71 Javelin in my garage waiting for my brother to get back from Air Forcing in Alaska. It's nowhere near that good. Ozmiander posted:That's a 68-70 dude. I think you're right. 68 or 69 maybe. Unless he's done something like swap out the grill and fenders and stuff but I doubt it.

I don't know, really. I think he's got a year and a half up there, maybe less. Once that's done, we're hoping he gets stationed nearby but one can only hope. Right now, I think it's got a 292 in it. I know he wants to drop in a bigger motor but I haven't gone into details on his plans. All I know is that I wish I had the garage space, right now I'm looking at doing a swap in my back yard and I could use the flat floor space. Regardless, the Javelin you've shown us looks awesome.

Geirskogul posted:Wait, is the south really as it was depicted in the Top Gear "Hillary for President" America Road Trip episode? I mean, I did BCT in SC, and I've been through Florida, but that's it. I'm in north carolina. I watched some old men watching (fox) news one morning and they were practically foaming at the mouth. Something about obama, I don't remember the specifics, but I do remember this line: "They outta drag him into the street and have him executed for treason!" This is the same state that wrote a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and woman. Date before last ended when the girl turned the conversation to politics and remarked that the world would be better off "without that friend of the family in the white house!" This is our world, and these are the people we share it with.

Rhyno posted:What the hell is going on? Taxes. I thought I did them just fine, NC disagreed and waited several years until the intrest was higher than what i owed to tell me. i paid while i was working but school started up and i live at home, so i quit. NC decides they'd rather gently caress me for the 130 i had saved than wait until i have a job. its my fault i guess, but why couldnt they have waited?

Sigma X posted:They pulled this poo poo on me. Except better. loving north carolina, i'd say it's unbelievable but i've stopped being an optimist. I should start banging on some doors. When I did the math for my state taxes in 08, it came down to them owing me something like 12 dollars. I figured let them keep it, but i guess they figured wrong. I wanted to submit a coding project for a copyright so I could try to get people's attention about it this month, maybe make a sale if I got real lucky. Goddammit why couldn't they wait? Right before christmas, too. I'm going to go spend my last 20 on alcohol. gently caress it. it's all a waste anyway.

BTW, it's amazing how a moderate amount of alcohol can ease your anger and frustration. Thank you Sailor Jerry. e: dammit another new page. I gotta start making my posts worth reading.

School is out for the season and I've run out of parts for my truck. I'm bored out of my mind and have nothing to do. I need something to do, this boredom is killing me. E:aww hell, new page. Uhh.... here, look at my successful bolt extraction. And am I allowed to brag about such a minor feat and for how long?

tuna posted:Don't go into work with whooping cough, dude. Other people also gotta make money. Where I come from, the only way to get out of work is to show up coughing out organs. Otherwise they don't believe you and passive-aggressively resent you for weeks once you come back. "Yeah, we're still behind from when you were sick." "We weren't able to complete the ad because you weren't here." "(boss) is saying the DM is going to write her up because the store wasn't cleaned when you were out." "Last friday was the biggest day of the month, we wish you could have been here." Man, gently caress you for laying guilt on me for being sick. Called out one time and they acted like the mongols had pillaged the store and it was all my fault. Next time I'll come in with a bucket of vomit and let them make the call. No, I'm not bitter. Why do you ask?

Darchangel posted:gently caress 'em. Well said. Now if I could hurry up and get this college thing done so I can get a real job, I'll be happy. I've got my CCNA, I'm ready for my Sec+, the only thing I need now is to finish it all up so I can get a full time job. Nobody's going to hire me because my classes are going to run from 8 am - 4 pm, so when can I get a decent job beyond those hours? I'm 29 and I live with my mother. This is pathetic. Nevermind, no more e/n bullshit. I'm going to go tool around with my truck until I feel better.
