Cakefool posted:Ah that reminds me, the First thing i'd check would be slift linkages/cables and more specifically the ends. Either bushes or little baby ball joints, you may find they're worn and are failing to align the mech properly to engage the gears. If all that checks out, probably something on the internal selector mech inside the gearbox. Synchros is possible, but unlikely if it's only occasional. My gearbox is loving awful and i paid £1,400 to have it overhauled. It had dropped 5th, but other than that it's now worse than it was before.

The owner of the company I am interviewing with in 20 minutes wanted to meet at a place in between us since it's Friday and I had a 3hr drive home from work today. I show up and there is some event going on with limos and dudes in monkey suits everywhere. Meanwhile my grungy rear end is in a safety green t-shirt and work boots. I feel so out of place.

InitialDave posted:I buy my tyres from Oponeo or somewhere, and get my local National Tyres to fit them. I've previously bought tyres online a few times and fitted them myself (I used to work as a tyre fitter) or had friends fit them. For the little i've saved, it's not worth the extra hassle. There's a place near me that for the tyres on my car they were £8 cheaper each online delivered. By the time you buy them, take them somewhere and pay £5+ (if needed) to have them fitted and balanced it's easier to just drive straight somewhere and get them to do it. ATS is easy because it's in the area i usually work in. If i have a chance i'll go to my preferred place in Wembley. Contis on the back have done 45k and still have 3mm left. I'll give them another month or so and change them. Michelins on the front cost me £260 all-in fitted at ATS.

Heh, I did my high school work experience fitting tyres at ATS, I learnt most of my first swear words there. Last set of tyres for the E46 came from black circles, delivered to a local place and fitted for about £45 total less than the same place could quote me, plus a billion club card points cheered the wife up. They treated me fine as well.

Cakefool posted:Heh, I did my high school work experience fitting tyres at ATS, I learnt most of my first swear words there. The one in Harlow has a car park big enough for a fleet or artics, and has 2 fitting bays, and i think 3 lifts. But it's always a ghost town. Last time i went in they claimed they were busy. My van was the only (customer) vehicle on site. We used to refer to it as Industrial English! I don't think i ever used Black Circles, always found cheaper on eBay, a seller called Ears Motorsport was cheaper than anywhere else for the Contis for my old Golf, and they came out ahead with fitting. Last set i put on my car i got online as i was having the wheels refurb'd so tyre fitting was free, and it ensured my wheels wouldn't be damaged. InitialDave posted:Well, I tend to do it this way because I'm either after specific tyres they don't have, and/or it gives me the opportunity to refurb the wheels. In the case where it was about £12 cheaper for convenience with work it was easier for me to just pay the extra and get it done. I could usually swing it so when a customer's car needed tyres i'd just check their wheels in the boot, take my car and get mine and theirs done together, during the work day. With the van, it's on the road so much that i'll pay the little extra for the tyres just because i can't lose a few hours loving around with that or have a pair of tyres sat in the back until i'm free. It's so expensive to run that it's just a drop in the bucket. Mooseykins fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Sep 11, 2015 |

I like blackcircles where you can order online and get them sent straight to a local fitter and book the appointment all in one go and then just rock up at the correct time./day. They were much cheaper than the quotes i got from the 2 tyre places i used to drive past on the way to the office, and could get them in sooner, and the guy in the little tiny indie place I chose for fitting was great. I'm going there next time. MrChips posted:No, I distinctly said soccer fans...as in, people who enjoy watching soccer. And I use the term people loosely in this case. You missed the point. We don't have 'soccer'. 'soccer' is a stupid american word that we don't use. Its 'football'. I suspect that there are just as many dumb and inbred american football fans in the US as dumb and inbred football fans over here. Probably more since you have 4x the population!

Basically all sports fans suck. As an aside, apparently this engine block has Wiseco pistons in it. That coupled with the aftermarket cams has me wondering if this head is also built. I should start a thread at some point, if I took enough drat pictures.

While you fuckers have been busy jerking each other off with trolling, this poo poo has been happening. First, pig in the new smoker  Secondly, I have gas!  First welds with .030 solid wire and 25/75 mix.  I'm blowing holes in 22 gauge metal, I have my heat turned all the way down and running fairly low wire speed, I think I may try .023 wire and see if that fixes it. I figure I can practice on much smaller than normal. I am moving my gun pretty quick too, so it may need some more practice. And I mowed the lawn.
