I only did it as preventive maintainance when putting the LSD in... it's kinda stupid not to replace known problem parts if the tranny is already apart... and it's more stupid not to send the gearset out for cryo...

The main issue with the trans I will most likely put it in are the synchro's. But if you know how to drive a manual than you're fine.

Never hurts to replace the synchros... also the shaft bearings... though I dunno about RWD tranny's all that much since hte diff isn't in it.

Put new 6000K HIDs in the Supra low beams and 3000K HIDs in the (edit!) fogs last week which required drilling out the back of the housings slightly, then it rained a lot. Both foglights had a lot of moisture inside so today I pulled the headlights... and at that point I realized there was at least a pint of water inside one of the headlights... might as well have had a goldfish swimming in it. Guess I'm going to have to find a way to seal them up better since water apparently finds its way back there.
I pulled all the bulbs so there are a few small openings in the back now and have a fan blowing on them to try and dry them out sooner rather than later.

Hmm... thats a bit much for the whatever thread but doesn't seem substantial enough to bump my member journal with.

In other 'whatever' news... I'm leaving for japan in 50 hours. I should go pack.

Dude, I'm so envious... I've been around the world, but Japan is one of those places I haven't ventured out to yet. There and Australia which sounds awesome... you going on business or pleasure?

pleasure... sucky sucky fi dolla :)

haha kidding... not my style. i'll be exploring, photographing, wandering, soaking in, living, visiting, and so on.

:cyberguy: :eek: :lol:

Well if you ever want to hit up Ukraine for that kind of fun let me know... I go there on annual basis, since fi dolla gets you A LOT there :lol:


edit: and I don't mean the sucka sucka fun... I mean photography and the other stuff. You've got Chornobyl and Pripyat for pictures that you can't take anywhere else, and than there's some other post soviet things that can be interesting.

I'm always down to travel more, love it more than anything :)

I'm the same... in the spring is the best time to go there. Just gotta pick the right timing if you actually want to get a legal tour of the closed zone around Chornobyl. That tour might be the most expensive part of going there, but other than that there's so much to see...

Ive been to 3/4 of this planet, and I can travel still for the next 5 years and still see more.

Lemme guess you got the one with the cv joint at the end and you need the one with the ujoint... So you need the trans and driveshaft in order to complete the swap? I guess the auto trans is longer or something?

I heard you'll get your camera stolen there if you're not careful ;)

If you're not careful your camera could be stolen in Philly...what's your point? Anywhere in the world if you're not careful **** can happen. I almost got run over by a cab in London cause I was looking for cars the other way down the road...

My one buddy literally saved my life a while ago, I went to step out and he yanked me back, before I could even say WTF!? A bus just BLASTS by and the mirror still came close to me, I shat mental bricks.

damn... that would have sucked lol

Yeah, **** was like straight out of a movie, and by a while ago, I'm talkin like a year ago haha.

Well, it is a gloomy Saturday but I had a great night, finally rested up and got a bright red Ferrari in the garage to brighten the day

I pulled another allnighter at work...tired as hell

pretty much haha

cool man, i was stationed in japan for 2 years. It was great, minus the work. You'll see some weird ****. :lol:

if you want to geek on on anime/electronics, go to akihabara.

good partying, Roppingi (i can't remeber how to spell it)

good shopping, Yokohama or Tokyo.

the only to continents i havn't seen is Africa and Anatartica.

Dude. Same. Let's road trip the Mugen...hahaha

i think we'll pic up more chicks with the fusion :lol:

So you have 6k and 3k low beams ehhh?:-p

I'll be honest. You're probably right hahaha

:lol:

every time i take it to cars meets, the only folks that come to my car and talk to me about it are honda guys (usually to talk ****).

not a babe magnet, hell, i can pull more chicks with the durango :roll:

Its cool, the Supra isn't a chick magnet either... stupid girls.

You guys are doin it wrong lol

I got a babe magnet in the garage, but it isn't mine hahaha

Honestly, i don't think many girls are attracted to a "cool" car, or something of that matter. most girls i talk to don't care about cars, or what they look like hha

owww owwwwwwwww ferrariiii :wink:

This.

If they did, I'd have a hell of a time gettin as much pussy as I do now. Surprisingly tho, a lot of girls do compliment/like the Fusion, and when I use the Sync...it's like game over cause they're usually amazed by it haha

but they don't know that, :lol:

yeah, but, when you do find a good looking chick, who's into cars, they're keepers.

my issue is, all those kinda of ladies are married alrdy (that i know, :roll: )

more then you can afford buddy, ferrari.

but at the same time, if i date a girl just cause she liked my car, i know i'll have issues down the road.

is that the thing you were talking to and it calls people, because it was amazing .

hahaha, yes it is. That's right, I did use it when u were in the car lol.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to date a girl for my car haha, definitely later issues.

Oh, and on a side note, this weekend rocks. Turned my house into my own bachelor pad haha, my brother took over the other house, I dibbed this one since my entire family is out in Arizona till next week. So as far as anyone is concerned, I got mah own place, with a Ferrari in the garage and I'm bringin home bitches hahahaha

In Philly you can call the cops and they'll pretend to care. I've heard things are a little different in the Ukraine and russia from someone who knows.

so, i have to start talking to my car? :eek:

party at Oaks!

haha.. in order to do what?

Whats different. They care if you slip them some money.

nothing, :lol:

time to get me some food, i'm thinking chinese

the only thing i get complimented on about my car is how clean the inside is, sometimes i can't clean the outside cuz of weather, but, ill be dammed if the inside isn't clean. and it's always girls who mention it haha
