There were cops flooding the area in mere minutes and everyone was just chilling by their machines like nothing happened while the foreman talked to them. He just walked by everyone and said dont even think of stepping a toe outside until your shift is over.

That's hilarious! I knew a guy who worked at the Boeing plant on 291 outside Philly. He and a few of the other machinists fabricated a cannon, and fired stuff from one hangar to the other. Now, there are no machinists at Boeing

Definitely do it right for sure. This is a dd. So... just the bolts and arms are all I need?

Apparently both cars passed inspection. Shop never called me. I had to call them. What is it with my luck lately..... sheesh

BoneZ · 05-23-2018, 03:59 PM

So if I put all these Springs and crap on here, do these cars have any idiosyncrasies that I need to know about or is it a pretty straightforward install?

Very easy to do and the setup is dead simple to work on.

Cool. When I did the Camaro, there was this one bolt that was a pita for nearly everyone.

JARblue · 05-23-2018, 04:40 PM

So the Accord loaner I got basically crapped out in San Marcos this morning

850 miles on the odometer and every single warning lamp came on. Throttle cut to what felt like 10% meant it wasn't safe to even merge onto the highway. Dealer wouldn't return my phone calls when I tried to reach them, so I drove back to Austin on the frontage road wherever I could and put my flashers on the few times I had to enter the highway.

The shop I worked at was next to a river. If we worked the weekend. Which was most of the time. We all had made potato guns. And we used oxy and acetylene to power it. At lunch time. We would sit in the parking lot and fire big potatoes at the boats on the river.

Oh... that's not bad. I must have been looking at the wrong stuff. What should I get?
