You never know how far an encouraging word may go.

Yesterday I was on the phone w/ Blayne (LuckySnake).

I helped him out with a small issue and mentioned about my car and the tranny problem I had.

I had already made up my mind that I couldn't fix it without a lift and a tranny jack.

Blayne told me in a few words that he thought it wouldn't be that hard and that I could do it at home.

Well those few simple words taunted me til I made up my mind that I would attempt it.

So I somewhat reluctantly started this endeavor and ONLY 2 HOURS later I had jacked the car up, disconnected the exhaust, lowered the tranny, driveshaft & loops, and re-attached (locktighted this time) the gear shift lever bolt and put everything back together. http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb76/FastestShelby/AAA%20Smilies/beach.gif

So you never know how far an encouraging word might go.

Thank you Blayne.

Your welcome. Thanks for the tip to get my hoses disconnected. TVS Stage 1 seems to work great, feels like allot more power than the JLT/ Evo Stage 2 on my stock blower.
TVS install was a cake walk. I did have allot more oil in the intake than I expected.

way to go BB. Glad your back in operation. Working with jacks really sucks. Getting to old for that. Which is why i'm buying a lift for my garage. At least i'll be able to sit and work, rather than crawl. :D

Blayne, sorry so long to respond to your message...I was in England for 10 days with almost zero access to any computers.

Sheesh man get a hold of yourself. :lol:

Went to bed early. I'll be on later tonight, but first I have to go work off a few pounds...gained 5 pounds in the UK (that's 1.25 stones to them :ack: ).

Dave

If you didn't want to gain weight, then why did you eat 1.25 stones???? :bangin:

What shape were the stones?

Didn't they chip your teeth?

Were you able to "pass" them?

Did you pay for them in dollars or pounds?


Am I a wise ass?? :ugh:

I'd never heard of a "stone" before...so they educated me. They said it was about 14 pounds (I think I did the math wrong above). you ARE a wise ass, but we like you that weigh (pun intended :cowtounge: ).
