it doesn't have u joints lol. that's what a flex disc and cv joints are. You aren't dealing with a Camaro or Rustang

If i didn't work tonight.... And I think they're probably right, i dunno about draging.. i'd really like to just like to do laps.. going as fast as i possibly could.. i've never been above 90-100ish in the city.. and i've only done that once or twice. Its so constricting having 40mph speed limits all over the place.

heh. you ever want to work on your car with someone else tell me, i've got plenty of broken stuff to fix. we could replace all this rubber stuff thats going to break with metal stuff.

If there were metal stuffs to replace the rubber stuffs we'd all use it... but the design of the rear subframe requires that the driveline have flexibility. the flex disc fails, and then the center bearing does... its a mess... and not fun... to replace means to drop exhaust, disconnect driveshaft halves, press new center bearing, bolt up new flex, and then rehook the splined driveshaft... nicht spass!!!!

Yeah, I do plenty of car maintenance in college apartment complex parking lots (but not as much as Ryan, I bet he'd try to do a tranny swap while parked between 2 other cars hehe)

Just say when you want to do it. Do you have a garage? My car is good on oil and such for another 3000 miles, but the GFs camry is due for some maintenance soon.

.....SUNDAY NIGHT! At Gainesville Raceway! Ahhhhhh, I remember those days. Of course it was a teensy bit before you were around, but when I was at UF, we'd go to watch Gator Nationals and some of the other big drags. The Top Fuel dragsters were awesome. Big Daddy Don Garlitts, Cha-Cha Muldowney, John Force, even Evil Knievill.......I worked at the Gainesville Hilton then, and being the only big hotel in town then, all the racers would stay there. I'd deliver room service to the drivers and fans. That was always a good weekend for big tips! Cha-Cha was quite the dogface at 7am as I recall!!

Have fun!

i think some of them do.....i know i have a cv going to my diff, but i've seen more than a couple e30s with u joints at the end. RE: drag racing.....i replaced my guibo about 20k miles ago, so i should be good for another 20k seriously, the ****tard that had my car before me had fastened the bolts on the guibo with lugnuts, and there were only 5/6 of the bolts in there.
