Unfortunately, the state does do emissions where I am. Otherwise, I would've just dropped a V6 in it and called it a day.

Edit: I need to read the how to again....

as long as you have all the emissions monitors cleared you're good to go, so just swap over the cats (or use foulers) and get the EVAP system working and good to go.

THIS STUPID CAR! Although, I should really blame the PO for neglecting it.

I just need the damn thing to work....

Pulled the knuckle yesterday and the hub was falling out of the bearing. The outer race damaged the hub so bad, that now I need to source another hub.

Do any of you local guys have a front hub that you wouldn't mind parting ways with? I need to get this done quickly.

I'll post pics tonight, but I'm surprised the car held together for me as long as it did.

Looks like it's Jake to the rescue. I'm going to get it tonight.

What a pain in the ass.

Luke: that's where I got the spare rear hub I needed. I like that one smile.gif

The car is back on the ground and seems to be driving alright. Luckily, Jake had a full knuckle that we wasn't using, so I just slapped that on the car to get me back on the road. When I have more time, I'll take the car down to do the brakes, control arms, and bearings the correct way.

I'm in a crunch for time because I have an issue with the wagon and need to get resolved more urgently.

Anyway, Thanks again Jake for the quick save!

Looks just like the MKII MR2 we had at the shop, inner bearing race spun badly and for a long period of time.

Welp, as most of you have seen on FB, I've hurt another one.....

I'm going to try to fix it, but I haven't really gotten into it to look at what it needs. Hopefully its just the door and quarter panel....



The other guy:


He missed the rocker, so we'll see....





To top it all off, she only has liability coverage, so if I fix her, it's coming out of my pocket.



I think I'm going to be taking a break from 6gc's for the moment....

So wait... The other person didn't have insurance? If that person just had liability your car is covered under their insurance.

Damn Chris that really sucks. Let me know if I can help

Liability means if she hits something they pay to fix what she hit but not to fix her car. Say she hits a tree, her insurance would pay the property owner to replace the tree but she's on her ****ing own to fix the car. Her insurance may total the car, that happened when my Geo got rear ended. I walked away with $2,200 after the 'buy back' of $300. You're almost better off if they do that because you should get more money. Now, not that I need to say this but please go get your neck and back checked out. If there's medical issues you need to get it looked at ASAP because her insurance will try to bounce if you wait to get looked at. If they give you any ****ery just tell them it didn't hurt till the next day from the adrenaline or something. Odds are you're fine but sometimes things get damaged and they don't hurt right away, and that wasn't a love tap.

It'd be nice if the accident was placed as their fault.

Unfortunately, I'm the one who got the ticket for failure to yield, because I was coming out of a parking lot and, by law, they had the right-of-way. So, it's going to be my insurance that pays for their car, and I get the shaft.

I just couldn't/didn't see them. It was an accident in the truest sense of the word.

Got the door opened up today....



The part of the door that I'm positive saved my life...


Door is off:


Door Jam Damage:


I think I'm done with this car, I'll "fix" it so that the door and top close, but as soon as funds are available, I'll be picking up something else.

I need to give the 6g's a break... I've only killed 2 in the last 3 years....

That bar saved your ass no doubts, and this is why I laugh when idiots cut them out for weight savings.

How about a 7th gen? :rofl:

You seem to like wagons. Join me and get a matrix. Preferably an xrs and not the slow wheel drive model I got. smile.gif

I was going to go that route with the wagon, but I'm really not seeing the point anymore.

I think I'm going to dump my spare engines and clean up some of the parts that I have in storage for the 6g. I'm not sure I'll own another one until I pick up a ST205 import.

In the meantime, maybe I'll look for another ST185 and build an autox car.

Honestly, I'm so ADD about what I want to do with the whole car situation, I can't make a decision to save my life right now.

GS isn't big boy, that's the LS. GS is the fat IS that you get when you have kids and LS is what you get to retire with in Boca.


But all bets are off if it's an AWD GS300 with a fat snail under the hood.
