I can't wait to GTFO of work today.  My vacation starts at 5:45 today.  I get to go have dinner with friends after work, then go to a Honda meet in Worcester and call it a day.  Tomorrow I'm going be replacing my shift cables, replacing my axles, fixing my suspension, doing a valve adjustment, and replacing my tires.  All this is in preparation for my trip out to MI to visit family.

Just had a nice hamburger at the country club after playing a round of golf. Oh the life of a high schooler...

Morning ECM...

God damnit I hate where I live. I can't find a single god damn auto shop that's open on the weekends. I've been sitting here looking for places in the phone book forever now. Weekends are the only time I can get my pulleys done because of school and football. This sucks. There aren't any rental places that carry big enough impact guns, either.

^Try the dealership. That's where I got mine done a couple years ago.

It's worth a shot I guess, lol. I bet they hate seeing people modding their cars, lol. I bet you had to pay out your ass for it too.

Edit: Jesus, they want $140 for an hour and a half job, fuck that, lol. I paid less for the pulleys themselves. I guess I'll have to look around some more to rent an impact gun and do it myself.

[Abailey4]

Ehhh, I think it was like $200. So it depends on what you consider out the ass. LOL!

I found a local Hertz equipment rental place, but they're closed on the weekends. I'm going to call them and ask about renting a 3/4" drive impact gun. That should do the job, right? When we tried, we used a 1/2" drive gun, but it wouldn't budge. On the Hertz website, it says that the daily rental rate for one is $30. Way better than $140, lol.

My 1/2 impact gun takes off crank pulley bolts like its nothing. Ingersoll Rand FTW!!!

How long of an air hose were you using? We ran into a brick wall because we only had one 50 foot hose, and no access to a shorter one. I really think that if we had like a 10 foot hose, that would have done the job.

Then get a shorter hose. On another note, I need to re-aim my new lights later. After driving last night, I realized I STILL couldn't see. Oh well.

Im am debating buying a Nikon D40 for $150.00. What do you all think? I know the lens will be expensive, but I may never buy another one. I currently do not have a camera. I just occasionally have to steal my dads p&S, when I need one.
