Smaller. Better. Slower. Lower..gaver

I'm actually in the process of trying to lose my job---or I'm about to be making twice what I normally do.
Shit just went all sorts of nutso at work. We'll see.


Before those wheels I'd pull up and see the Datsun. Neat.
Now, I grin every time I turn the corner. It's rad.

Wife thought I bought a different car when she saw it for the first time with the new wheels.

Hey Flat Kitty, any recommended way on how to remove 2014 Tundra Tail lights? They are so tuff to remove that I think I am going to break them. I feel bad for any old guy who wants to change his own bulb. (I have to remove the driver side tail light of just about every truck that comes into my shop).

And yes, I love those rims on 210s. They just look so proper on that car.

[flatcat19]

Ya know- I have not changed a tail light on one of them.

Do you have one of those nylon pry handles? Love my set.
Get in there where you think the nubs are and pry. You won't break it.



In all my time with cars-I have never had such a hard time disassembling anything. Until Toyota. PITA.
Wiring harnesses. Dashes. Anything interior. Even lightbulbs are shit.
Overgeneralized for zero benefit. Fuck you, Toyota.


And those damn plastic rivets! ARGH!
Do you really have to break EVERY TIME?!?

[Laecaon]

What are you talking about? Toyotas are the easiest thing ever to work on. There rivets are way nicer. Everything comes apart like I expect. I never break anything. Easy to get to. Of course I only work on the trucks. Actually I hate the new 4runner. I want a new Tacoma SO BADLY!!!! I love them sooooooooo much.

Dont complain about interiors until you work on a Chevy. Dont look at those wrong or you will break it.

FIRE!



Nah, just needs updates.

[DRIVEN]

You know, it's a mostly downhill roll to Canby. It'd be cooler if it actually had a running engine, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

[flatcat19]

I'd love to have an update for you guys.

My schedule got changed unexpectedly.
Was about to have 4 3day weekends followed by 1 4day.
Boss switched my team so I went to our shops worst schedule. Tuesday/Sunday off.

Friday, May 9th will be my first 3day.
3 days last for a month followed by 1 4 day weekend.

When I get off now it's family time or yard work.



Updates soon!

[flatcat19]

And no Canby this year.
My son's birthday is June 8th.

Blue Lake may be possible. But I'm not gonna rush it.

[MicroMachinery]

And no Canby this year.

[Laecaon]

wasnt that the problem last year? Your son needs a new birthday!

[flatcat19]

I think the dates for 2015 line up well for my first CanDy.

What's really screwy...
I grew up there.
Went to OC high school. Folks own 100 acres out Mulino Rd.
I'll be damned if I can ever make it back there though.

[MicroMachinery]

You're in luck; it's the 14th and 15th this year

[flatcat19]

You gonna be here to help, MM?

Lots of work to do in no time at all.

[MicroMachinery]

I'm busting my ass trying to get mine to Canby, too. You can doooo eeeeet!

I'll help any way I can.

[flatcat19]

Send battery. Lol.
Maybe a Felpro kit too.

[MicroMachinery]

You're going to miss Canby over a felpro kit...

[Laecaon]

Oh wowsies.

[flatcat19]

No. I'm gonna miss Canby because I fully plan on being broke as fuck.

[MicroMachinery]

I never plan to be. Just kinda happens naturally.

[flatcat19]

I feel better about when I tell myself its gonna happen.
Not just let it. Ya know.
