MortLansky posted:Jesus christ can we finally slow down the whole LS swap bandwagon? Every mechanical vulnerability ever, regardless of make, can be solved by shoving in a pushrod V8 if you went by the way people talk on non-manufacturer specific car forums. The amount of times the suggestion comes up vs. the actual number of people driving around on real-world functioning swaps (in 911s, anyway) must be in massive disparity. Either buy a Porsche and accept what it costs or go get a Corvette or something if you're so concerned about getting eaten by maintenance. Don't drive around in some stupid fake German hillbilly cruise missile with a frankenstein wiring harness that makes engineers cry. And so PADL begins...

If you didn't want to sell it, you shouldn't have listed it.  Who cares how he was going to use it, that isn't your concern.

I rode in one of these a few years back with my instructor at Putnam Park. Holy poo poo that was a good time. That was my first experience being in a Porsche.

Residency Evil posted:On the topic of servicing, I should probably stick to the dealer for service while my car is still under warranty, right? Unless you know a good independent. Also make sure they follow the maintenance schedule vs. making poo poo up. Lots of dealers in general will have their own suggestions for "maintenance" that may not line up with the engineers that designed the drat thing.

You have room in there to fit a die grinder to cut at the bolt between the clamp? Might be worth a shot if you have that. Was the nut rounded off? If you can get a socket on it I'd try that and torque the poo poo out of it and try to get it to snap off. E: another thought. You may not have a torch, but this is part of the exhaust. Drive the car around and get it nice and warm on it's own and then try.

Bajaha posted:I've had success before with those bolt extractor sockets, if you let the kroil soak the area overnight and use one of these you should have success: I've had varying luck with these because there are only a few sizes in sets of them, and none of them ever feel like the right size.

kimbo305 posted:Local hardware store didn't have the $70 DeWalt, but the Black and Decker was on sale for $20, so I'll start with that. The $100 DeWalt looks a little big for the clearance I have. I'm waiting for the ground to dry up a bit before figuring out a decent position. If you don't buy the $10 harbor freight one, I don't know what you're thinking. It's decent and just needs a better cutting wheel. BlackMK4 posted:I can agree with that. I generally hammer them on and make em fit. I do the same, it sometimes works.

https://www.harborfreight.com/4-12-in-43-amp-angle-grinder-69645.html I bought the cheapest of cheap ones there years ago and it still hasn't died, or caught fire. I'm pretty sure you can get $10 coupons for them pretty regularly, or at least you used to be able to. It doesn't have a ton of power but it's been more than fine for cutting sheet metal or bolts when I've used it. Suburban Dad fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Feb 20, 2018 |

Front facing is a lot lower profile than a rear facing. Just don't let the kid ride with you until they're 1-2 and you're fine.

If it doesn't clear within 24 hours, then it isn't normal.
