One time my buddy was telling me we should go to Japan and find the big Gundam they built and dress up like Ray Amuro and act like it's real and my dad was walking through the room with laundry in his hand, and on the fly hits me with "my son? More like Rei Ayanami" and leaves. God I love this story more every time I hear it. It's like some nature vs nurture poo poo.

This thread just keeps on giving. As an audience member there's no way this can't end up interesting.

Shame that the bug is a fat chick super though. Although I guess they do work better for racing vs cruising when compared to swing axle and king/link pin.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but even with a poo poo stock dual port 1600, where's the problem?  and drive.

There's no reason aside from the whole spending thousands of dollars to make it worse just to gently caress with me, which is a legimate possible outcome.

I mean, it sounds like he would be willing to throw in and random engine that is cheap so he can laugh at you when it breaks down after four hours.

He absolutely would, but not on this trip. A breakdown 4 hours away places a significant impact on my ability to make it to work. If anything would give him pause, it would be that. If i had a full week to make it home? Id expect nothing less than the most lavishly well stocked roadside too kit i have ever seen, conspicuously missing all screwdrivers, the 13mm socket and box end, and no spare tire or fan belt

Fun fact: My grandfather was like this and as a result my dad was a passive aggressive dick towards me without the cheeriness or humor. My grandfather was pretty awesome though. I once saw him do the old "wait till they open the door then pull forward a few feet" to my grandmother.

My dad on the other hand is the nicest, most understanding, supportive dad anyone could ever ask for and once every few months manages to have been lying in wait like a comedy sniper to put one between my eyes from 900 miles away and be gone. He doesn't even need to verify the target is down, he already knows.

That sounds alot like my grandfather who one time when I was 5ish and complaining of a runny nose handed me a jar of Vicks back rub and told me to put some up my nose and it would help. Edit: Also my dad's humor consists entirely of setting it up so you'll want to get mad over something stupid and you just sit there fuming while he laughs.

Fukkin turnkey engines. Bought a type 1 from some place that I can't remember and after a lot of trial and error turned out the cam they put in it was poo poo.. Learned this when all other options were excercised. Ordered a new one (was really upset when i pulled the old one out and determined they were the same type) but when I put the new one in it ran beautifully.

So the Bug sits a lot. He hasn't driven it much since the deep sump got whacked and started leaking, so if he does decide to go with a different engine I'm curious why he just told me that he received the dished "not quite so deep sump plus pickup" kit, and then discuss issues popping up bringing the motor back out 9f hybernation since my last visit down. Tally is up to carb floats need tweaking, they drain the bowls after several days sitting which obviously is a long term issue of gas contamination but as long as it's driven regularly, or say in a sustained fashion, won't be an issue at the moment. The other thing is that apparently the rear main seal is leaking. He was asking how motor oil could come out of the weep hole in the transmission and well, not too many options. So he said the car will be up on jack stands waiting for me. And if that's the case, cuts down the window for changing the entire engine over to something else also.

IIRC if the main seal's leaking don't you need to crack the case open to replace/fix it. It's been many years since my type1 rebuild.

Nah, rear main seal just requires pulling the engine then clutch/throwout bearing. The only reason to crack the case is to rebuild. Everything else is replaceable from outside the block. Can't remember if you have to split the case to replace the cam or not, been a few decades since I've rebuilt one.

No but the clutch comes off and you need to verify and reset crankshaft end play while you're in there. The only things I'd change in the Bug would be swapping the old CD only deck for something with an aux input, perhaps remove the front speaker kick panels for foot room, and the cage that my dad had installed is pretty much the definition of for show only and I'm torn between whether it's more dangerous to leave it in as is, or having a little bit more metal helping in side impacts. I know NOTHING about proper cage design and it's got multiple glaring geometry and construction issues to my untrained eyes. Civic will remain. It's the first car I've ever felt like it was finally the one to hold onto, ad a backup car will help motivate things to be tackled easier.

I had to split it to do the cam.. I only went through like 3 sets of main bearings because i kept crushing them when they moved when re-combining

Also I'm pretty sure there shouldn't be 90* reinforcement cross bars held in with giant aluminum pins with pull rings and the central roll over hoop and reinforcements to the rear of the car should not be unsupported trapezoidal shaped

So coming as a complete shock to everyone I assume, that chick that's a mirror image of my ex can be quite the handful when she gets out of control. Apparently xanax and Adderall is a powerful combination as far as stubbornness and time dilation go. She decided at 11pm it was time to dye her hair blue and then proceeded to get stuck in the bathroom until about 3:30 am Alternating between singing, knocking poo poo over, and insisting thst she only had five more minutes before it was finished. Every half hour. However she did come out of the bathroom at 11:30 to ask for a hair dryer after the first bleach rinse wearing only panties and a towel she clearly believed she was holding over her chest and not somewhere round the navel instead and I'm like uh dude cover up my room mates are in the kitchen and she was all I AM and goes to ask them for a hair dryer. I hear them shout hey is she okay and I shout back yeah she's fine. Eventually she comes out finally and decides to rock around my room in panties and this really loose knit wide looped sheer sweater thing with the high beams on and every time I looked she told me to stop staring at her. And then says she can't believe how amazing it is to finally hang out with someone who's not trying to get anything out of her like me. I'm just glad that I'm finally moving past all the baggage and drama and nightmares and scars from my ex. And moral of the story the poor little thing was so tuckered out that once she finally passed out I figured there wasn't any harm in letting her sleep it off while I went to work.

I told y'all the chick with a titty tattoo that reads "daddy's girl" and two inked revolvers at her waist band was a little too tame for the esoteric and unconventional needs my miswired brain demands. And if the Bug truly is coming home with me I shall once again come round full circle, returned home to the fires of Mount Doom from whence I was forged.
