So now I've gotten a nut that is free spinning but I've built up too much and can't get it off :laughing: Working of grinding off the buildup, is a tight space.

Good thought - no idea. So I'm using what was in the spooler, I believe its .03 and is silver. I have a spool of copper colored .025. Day 3 of teaching myself to weld in production, lol. Much trial and error so far. I think I did not have the heat high enough in some of my tests and what I...

Progress - got the shorter of the 2 out a few minutes ago. The other one I cant seem to get the bead well enough into the threading, gonna have to try and clean it off and try another nut.

Tested some welds duplicating what I need to do. I'm really bad but as long as I don't set myself on fire and can angle the tip where I need it I'll balls up and do it here in a minute. Still need to get that slave out of the way and disconnect my battery+ECU...just in case.

Here's what I'm working with - it could be a lot worse. Starting to wonder if I didn't use my torque and just cranked the shit out of them last time and called it. Picked up the welder and all the shit that goes with it. Once it cools off some I'll go out play with some test welds first. I...

New stuff came in. The only rust on my car was on the slave bolts. Both snapped coming off, I used a torque wrench for everything anymore. One has a good chunk visible, the other bolt is a little shorter. Was planning on grabbing my buddy's welder anyways for the bolt that broke on the...

Its not old really but maybe I'm just lucky like that. Master is brand new - came with the clutch pedal. Ordered a new slave and the hardline - I had issues with the nipple on it in the past and went ahead and got another just in case. I'll try that first since its the last thing I can...

Definitely after heating up and driving for a while Rev, 1st and 2nd start acting up. About to just take it to a transmission shop.

So after driving for a bit I'm still getting weird issues. Everything is all fine and well until things start getting hot. Twice I've attempted to back into my driveway and found reverse just wasn't there. Double pumps, shifting around the other gears, rolling forward/backward slightly etc...

Swapped out trans fluid today too with the TriboDyn. We'll see how it goes - have to actually drive into the office this week again - ~80mi round trip so I should notice anything new.

Ended up driving 100mi today. Everything feels good, can't say for sure if better or not. I want to say "Yes" but it could be placebo effect, knowing I changed things. I need a new battery cable, white one on the main positive terminal - looks like it got crispy somewhere along the road.

Mechanicals back in and I have bled everything. Started up and rocked her back and forth a bit before taking a break for lunch. I'm probably gonna run through the bleed process 1 more time, I've been using the pneumatic pump off my compressor which works great but I'll probably finish up by...

He's mistaken then - I was a few beers in when he was texting me, knew they had a short run but couldn't remember the years.

Got everything out, got the pedal assembly back up inside and the master cyilinder at least in place in the firewall and the assembly. Still need to get it all back "in" but my back hurt I quit. No joke - I'm getting old or way out of shape. Been following this guide to make sure I wasn't...

Guess I'm about 1/2 way-ish. I've probably removed more than needed but I also wanted to re-run some cables and give the previously unexposed or inaccessible areas a good cleaning. Anyway - I'm to the point of removing the pedal assembly - I remember this being a pain in the dick - but I'm in...

I guess my order did complete - the stamps.com UPS shipping notification went to spam.

Noticed my LTFT's creeping up(down) as well on the way home. I think the reading I saw on the AP before I came inside was like -11.9/+.78. I need to read up but if someone has an ELI5 to get me started for LTFT that would be cool. Until then off to read.

I guess my fucking clutch pedal order was canceled. I do not have a confirmation and the charge that was on my bank statement has disappeared.

Still waiting on order confirmation for clutch pedal. Need a new driver side door handle/grab bar. My side is looking a little rough Haven't had any luck yet - maybe just a sand and paint myself? Also noticed I finally am getting the dashboard separation over the middle displays. It may...

Got the clip to stay on with some zip tie magic - probably need to replace the clip on the wire harness though.
