helper spring from lmbmikez came in!!! :D i THINK my kevlar console is in guam... ill figure that part out tomoro

simota1 04-27-2012 07:13 PM

update my red kevlar console is finally here.... the stupid mail man literally left it in FRONT of my house yesterday :shakes head: its a damn good thing i walked my dog this morning because i would have not known it was there all along since yesterday.... :facepalm:

only thing left im still waiting for is my TS cover but im in no hurry.... even if rhd says 4-6 weeks im expecting 2-3 months wait... its ok though itll be worth the wait.... :tup:update on my next mod.... ive been saving up now and i finally had enough money to order something again so :tup: i was gonna order the password jdm bat covers V2 from ebay... and then one of the FML moments happened.... so this morning i noticed the bed was wet because of the aircon leaking.... i was like hmmm... i just bought this thing like 2-3 months ago... wtf is it doing that? so i go to the back of it and look wats up... and i see all the water from the condensation is just pooling up all inside of the aircon... STUPID GE didnt put a hole so the water could escape... i installed the aircon tilting backwards a bit already but i guess the angle wasnt enough... and i dont feel like jackhammering the top of the wall so i could tilt it more ,so the only solution is to drill a hole.... i figure hey, ill just drill a small 1/8 hole should be enough to let the water leak out.... so i grab my cordless drill slap on a 1/8 drill bit and drill in the most corner part so i wouldnt hit any vital part of the aircon... and BOOM.... i guess the condenser core was all the way up on that corner also and even if i was drilling as careful and as slowly as i could, i still poked a hole on the condenser also :facepalm:..... all the freon spewed out!!!! lucky thing it didnt go on me...so now the money i saved will go to another AC.... sh!t wat a waste..... :shakes head: the funny part of this was it happened 5 mins after i found my package in the front of my house... i was all smiles and then decided to do the drilling and what a great way to start my day...

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl: :tup: good stuff man.. now :pics: or :gtfo2:

simota1 04-29-2012 07:15 AM

first off... my stupidity.... now i only took a after shot of the spring and not the part of the bushing which i kinked because at the time it occured it was no laughing manner lol... i was pissed beyond belief. the second photo is a pic of the dremel burr i used to grind away as much of the metal i kinked inward....now picture number 3 when the dremel failed because i could no longer maneuver it inward to get more of the blockage out.. i resulted in cave man technique.. i broke a file just so i could file the bushing in and out with the piece i broke off...i spent an hour doing this... i wanted to break that bushing off lol
