id hate to not drive my baby for 2 years (again haha).

my friend had surgery similar to this (not to my extent), but he was able to drive his stage 3 b5 s4 with a cast. so im hoping i will be able to kick the clutch, but got to wait to see

Sup anybody free to come take at my car, it's a small wiring problem I'm sure but I'm ab ready to give up on it...if somebody could help me with it I'd give u like 50 bucks?

[cmybimmer]

it wont be speedy, its going to be a long term healing ordeal.

now i need to figure out how to get money if i cant walk or stand. hopefully i can go to my classes that start in a week.

hows the car sale going?

Sorry, that was supposed to say "hope you have a speedy recovery"..

And ehh, going kind of as I expected. Had at least 6-8 people interested, set a day to check it out.. Then bail on me last minute. If I were in a rush to sell the car, id be mucho pissed lol

Fack. Spent all day working on the Peugeot.
Installing the aerokit and rust free trunk lid from the 5 years newer model has proved to be a PITA.
It's amazing how much the french go out of their way to make things more difficult...smh.

Saw this beaut up the street from my house. Almost shit a brick when I saw it :up:

[Cabriolet]

Patrick, im really sorry to hear you have such bad news. dude that just sucks. best luck on getting healed up.

Anyone know the best way to get the control arm ball joint bolt out of the strut assembly? A hammer has proven useless so far.

Uuggghhh... Story of my life right now; I'd say I'd be pissed, but every day I don't sell it is another day I don't have to drive my dreaded overheating Eclipse..

Use a bigger hammer

Go to Harbor Freight and look for this tool http://www.ebay.com/itm/22mm-Univers...3ce466&vxp=mtr

I can't seem to find it on the online store, but I bought one from them. BMW's tool is very similar but way more expensive. This tool will allow you to save the ball joint with out destroying the threads or boot that comes with using a hammer or pickle fork.

[Pantless Spency]

usama you should just trade meeee.

For now I really don't care about the ball joints. i may need that in a few days when it's a car that I care about, but this control arm is bent and useless. Is a bigger hammer really the best option for getting it out quick? I'll look into that tool soon.
