well i think Cody's rear end is done. its set with a .008 backlash with Motive calling for .007 to .009 and the pattern looks great. I think we are gonna swap it in soon. Im sure shifts come a lot sooner then with the factory 3.42s.

Got to drive the car but it has no reverse and the car is trying to shut off when it hits a bump. Where are all of the grounds on the motor and why wont it pull in reverse?

So Steve and Cody had the great idea of modding my exhaust, so I agreed.
Cody takes the sawsall, and accidentally pierces the gas tank right after I said watch out for the gas tank(LOL), waterfall of gas onto him, and into some buckets.
It took us 3 hours to finally fix it with some Steel Putty, but it's solid now.
And now I essentially have a cut out, Cause we scrapped the muffler and pipes. My Z has ***** now.

LMAO!!! i got it to pull in reverse but it feels like it binding and dont start pulling till around 2500. Who wants to do a reverse race? (Im stalled lol). I drove it today and the only thing i have left to do is find out why the fans arnt coming on. If i have to i can put a toggle switch under the dash for them.

I'm surprised you got it done without taking a flamethrower to it.
I'm sure I would have, haha.

I've been playing with a lawn mower. I picked up a broken Craftsman 24 HP 42" mower pretty cheap. I replaced the "mandrel", also known as the piece that connects the pulley to the blade. Of course I didn't get the right piece. First attempt was to tap it so that the factory bolts would screw into it. The aluminum was so soft that they tore out almost immediately. I decided to drill out the holes further and use nuts and bolts with lock washers. So far, so good.
I put in new air filters, changed the oil and filter, new battery, sharpened the blades, and cleaned the plugs with a little gas and sand paper. I'll probably replace them tomorrow because it still sounds like there is a little miss. I may replace the fuel filter and see if that helps.
I leveled the deck and did a little drunken night mowing. Seems to cut straight. This is even more impressive since the grass is soaking wet.
If any of you need a small riding mower, it looks like I'm going to sell the Honda.
I'm glad to hear that the tank is fixed.

I just picked up a new Trans mount, so that's somethin to do.
And auto zone doesn't read codes for 95 and back anymore. Douchebags.
The tank is still rock hard and dry btw.

I think mine will read before 95.
Mower seems to work great. I replaced the fuel filter and spark plugs today. The miss went away. I still have to push mow the ditch, but it's MUCH faster now.
It's all ready for you Cody. In probably need to be cut again in about two weeks. Do you still have the drinking hat?
