Yeah, that. See, this is why I fix laptops and not cars. I don't know why he didn't get that in the first place. Steve (the guy doing my work) said it might not be the throwout, just his first guess.

He took it for a ride tonight after work. About 17secs after taking off, he says "throwback bearing", then mentions something about me fixing his laptop. He's going to start tearing into it this weekend. Think I dodged a bullet on this one.

Unfortunately, no. I'm in house-buying mode right now, and the fix is coming out of those funds. And while an STi 6-speed would be tempting, it's a "get it fixed as cheap as possible" situation. Plan right now is to take it to a buddy in Pittsfield tomorrow. He's a Chevy mechanic, and does...

T'would appear the center diff kerploded. Both my regular guy in town, and the place I bought the car from said it's just as cheap to put a "new" (I'm assuming rebuild) tranny in it instead of dropping it and trying to diagnose and repair the diff.

Looks like the Rex is getting a new tranny. :BangHead:

While that is certainly a hard point to counter... yummy... Good question. In the US, all you can get (to my knowledge) is the turbo I5. Ford isn't usually known for it's 5-cylinder engines, so it wouldn't surprise me if there's more Volvo than Ford under the hood. That said, it's the same...

Congrats!!! Hope you've gotten plenty of sleep lately!

By that logic, it could be considered that the STi is not an Impreza either. Sure, they share platforms, but no effin 2.5i ever came with a nice gritty 300hp turbo engine and a six-speed. Volvo is a wholey own by Ford. It rides on a platform designed and built by Ford for the Focus. Cosmetics...

Enjoy your FWD Focus.

My cell phone tells time.

dude, even my little road in my small town has been done. Kind of creepy seeing my WRX and SVX sitting in my driveway on Google.

Hmmm...

Bump, since inski just got one, and I never ended up updating my PS3 info. I came across this oldie trying to find Jimbo's PSN ID (hint, hint). 80GB PS3 (MGS4 bundle), upgraded to 12oGB, 2 controllers PSN ID: evil_jeff Retail Games: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Grand Theft Auto...

Burnout Paradise. Cheaper than GT5 Prologue, and way more fun if you ask me. Then again, I'm more into arcadey racing than simulators. Oh, and you can't really go wrong with Grand Theft Auto 4. My real recommendation though would be to get it hooked to the internet and start trying demos. You'd...

Not really. I did WTVL to Portland for over a year.
