still got the driveshaft and rear end? if so, how much are you asking? thnx

 

Getting dumped was my drive to start modifying cars. I've been single for like almost a year and done so much to my car. It feels great. I'm unsure if I can even go back to women after being so involved with cars!

Okay, that's a lie. Lingerie!

 

what do you have left for parts?

 

the rear end is junk and i have no drive shaft.
what do you need for parts emporer and i'll tell you if i have it. if i do have it , it will be cheap or free. haha.

 

Checking in

 

any one wanna have a meet in plymouth this weekend?

 

any one know a good place to get a clutch installed. i have the clutch ect just need to find a place.

 

I know a guy in merrimack that specializes in transmissions, Nelson 1 (603) 320-9385

 

My friend is a mechanic in RI

 

Josh, he any good with FC trans? I think my Synchros are goin lol! stupid na..... btw did you try that carb cleaner trick ben and i had mentioned to ya?

 

hey who was the lawyer thats a member here. i forget his sn. i looked at mass lemon laws and i think the deal has to replace my clutch for free under the lemon law in mass. they told me when i called they didnt have to. i only had the car for like 3 weeks or so.


side note after saying i would have to pay they said it would cost 760$. i called my normal guy i go to he said 380$ and 50$ more if the flywheel needs to be cut. mind you both prices are if i bring them a clutch.

 

i thought the law was that they had to warranty the car for at least 30 days? or was it 90?

 

well its a wearable item so iam not sure. i **** a brick when they said 760 plus parts. i went on all data its a 4 hour and 45 min job. round up 5 hours that's over 100$ a hour. my uncle shop is flat rate and is charging me 380$. that's without a family discount.

hey sorry to the two guys i meet up with that i left early that night. then again i did have fluid in my lungs and shouldnt of been out of my house lol. we need to try to all meet up again. cant belive we didnt do kimballs this year.

 

yeah we missed out on a lot of **** Ben...

i might finance and RX-8 R3 sometime... those things are HOT. still not a racer, but a nice looking daily.

 

ben, why dont you just do your clutch yourself? its not that big of a job is it? just drop the tranny and do it? even if it took all day it would save you a ton of money.

 

yeah clutch jobs are pretty easy. well when i say easy, i mean its straight foreward its still a giant pain in the ******* *** tho. dropping a tranny xD especially on a dirt driveway, laying on your back holding it up with your knees and hands. its fun, give it a try xD

 

lol **** ben if you had fluid in your lungs, then ya could've said somethin and we would've understood. no need to get more sick than you are kid.

Andy, i'm sure ben can do the clutch on his own but he's trying to honor the principle of the lemon law, if it still applies on his car right now. I mean, I'd do the same if I bought a car and 2 days later a tie rod gives out while driving, and that's more serious than a clutch. Sure a tie rod is an easy-as-pie job to do but it's not something that's supposed to go so soon after purchasing especially if you're being told the car is in superb/good running condition.

Hitokiri, I feel for ya man if you have to do all your work on a dirt driveway, that must suck lol should take a couple hundred bucks and lay out a big concrete slab so you got something to work on. plus, it could double as an awesome burnout box

 

heh yeah well the old driveway at my parents old house was dirt and gravel, we moved up to a new place, paved driveway and a two bay garage with a concrete floor. it pwns for work.

 

yeah well iam still working in my tent on my sa. with pee stone to lay on. the winter sucks cause it gets warm in the tent and then it turns to mud. but i delt with it for one year i can do it this winter.

iam thinking of pulling the 12a and taking it apart, and doing the biggish street port for my turbo setup.id love to just p port it tho. iam just slowly going to rebuild the sa till my 8 is paid off lol.

 

yeah PPort the 12A? and Turbo? itll last like 15k miles, tops. xD totally unstreetable. but it will kick major *** otherwise xD

 

theres a few people who made pport 12a's na and street drove them. just really bad on gas lol. these are just ideas.

iam going to pull the motor this winter if i can find the cash to buy the engine stand bracket. clean the engine bay and stirp the car. maybe add the cage if i have the spare cash. and fix the body.

 

He specializes in trannys but does it all. I think he mentioned that he had (back in the day) a FC and rebuilt the tranny and put in a aftermarket clutch in it. He tends to give me and the friends i have refer a low price, even lower for cash.

As for the possible vacuum leak, I haven't had time to look into it, I have had to use my other car (rain and family errands), I think I am very close to turning in the plates for the winter on the FD.

 

Lemon law applies to getting your car inspected. If you can't get your car a sticker than you can invoke the lemon law.

You should have gotten a warranty from where you bough the car, that is where you can apply the clutch labor. It's a mandatory 1 month warranty for any car with 80k or less. I believe it's 3 months for cars under 50k?

 

under mass lemon law iam covered. if the car is 3 years old or less its a 90 day, does not not matter mileage. if under 3 years old 90 day . if older then 3 years under 80,000 30, under 50,000 60day. any thing that is unsafe or inhibits driveablitly(sp?) they have to fix in the time frame. but there is a loop hole for them if they just say they want to buy the car back and you say no they dont have to fix it.

when i called they just put some **** tard who quotes on the phone all day. i brought up the lemon law and he said its not covered cause its a wearable item ect. and told me if i bring them a clutch it be 760$ **** that ****.thought i was some rich *** kid. little do they know i work hard for my cash and i dont take ****. i called my mom who works for the state in the same building as the da. they told her under the mass lemon law any thing that inhibits the driveablity of the car they have to fix.

my step dad called for me today saying hes my lawyer, i was on the line with him omg they folded. they tried to say it was my fault the clutch went cause iam new to it. he replied ive been driving a clutch for 3 years and race a rx7.then thedealer said to our records it had a new clutch installed before it left the lot. my step dad said in reply you never told him that, so if its true that why the clutch went so fast since he didn't know. "but thats not true sinc ei have all the records and they just did a tune up ect" and i asked about the clutch and he said its the stock one ect ect ect.

they folded and should be doing the work this weekend unless i get a rental. now i just need to figure out if they will in stall the exedy clutch i got and if i can get them to pay me for it. i think they will have to since they lied to me at first ect. then i placed my order.

if the car was not so new. id be having a party with you guys with beer ect and install it with some of you.

 

that is awesome Ben! yeah, we'll just have to help you on the SA. i may be getting a job in devens, so i will be pretty close to you if i get it.
