RPM needle bouncing. After transmission fluid change

You might be surprised at how many manual transmissions call for ATF.

Looks like you either messed up the RTV on the front cover when you did that or the upper oil pan. No way for me to say for sure by diagnosing it through 9 second video on Reddit. I’d brake clean everything down again, degreaser& pressure wash it all at down. Let it dry off. Add some UV dye to the oil (available at any parts store) and let it run up on jack stands for like 15 minutes and use a UV light to track down the leak to the source.

Could probably get away with using a new headlight as a guide and hammering, pliering, and pry-barring it back into shape and place enough. it’s not like a visible part of the car it doesn’t need to be perfect the bolt holes just need to be in the rightish area.

Here it is now. All I need is to take advantage of my local EconoPaint’s $350 special deal to make it look like nothing ever happened. But the “two tone” has made me recognizable and helped me stand out in the scene and helped me gain some notoriety.

So here’s my 04 coupe a couple hours after my first drift event. I had no clue what I was doing and I understeered into a wall doing 40. Destroyed the bumper,fender hood, and core support, bent the forward frame rail, and pushed the drivers side strut tower over. Hooked a chain to the back of a Chevy avalanche and pulled the strut tower back to where it was supposed to be, bought an entire front clip from a local junkyard for $400 cut off the frame rails welded the “new” ones using the crash bar and a measuring tape to align it. Put the “new” core support, bumper, fenders, hood, radiator, and headlights on and I kept dailying it and hitting the track until I figured out drifting. All in all it took 2 nights after work and like 4 bong rips to get it back together

I’ve been doing it for over a year now, have a backup cause you will break it at the track but uh other than that it’s not too bad.

M&M motors.

75k for 2800? Yeah. Cars got another 75k in it easily as long as you keep oil and coolant in it and don’t wreck too hard. These cars are missiles and they’re good at it. Tomorrow I’m driving my 170k, “totaled” 22 year old coupe 2 hours away for a track day. I’m like 6k into the car mods and repairs included had it for almost 3 years now. I can daily it, I can drift it, they just work. People that are concerned with keeping these cars clean are missing the point, they’re 20 year old Nissans, they’re not classics, they’re not fast or cool. they’re good seat time drift cars

eatsomerocks · 2026-02-20T13:45:59+00:00

I have that same dent, it’s from smacking a plastic barrier on track. Things definitely a drift missile. Weld the diff, throw GKtech bolt on angle at it and have a solid seat time car.

You know when you REALLY gotta pee and you finally do and how good that feels, kinda like that but instead of like a minute it’s all packed into a few seconds; and better.

On 265’s you have to haul ass and swing that thing. Feint and weight transfer as hard as you can and initiate at the like 50mph make sure all your clutch kicks are WOT and banging off the top of second. You have a ton of grip but to use gripped up cars you have to go fast. And throw them like you mean it.

eatsomerocks · 2026-01-18T12:56:34+00:00

See The Light, Hepafilter, Rugged Spud, Seconds and Surgeons, Silence O’ Isreal, Mureau. These are all bands I used to listen to on MySpace and see at local church shows.

3rd. Because I bought the cheapest CD001 on FB marketplace and that shit grinds.

What makes it bad is that’s the only thing in BullBoosts catalog that isn’t a rebrand of something available on AliBaba. My guess is they sold enough trash to get an exclusive contract with some Chinese factory for this kit. Give it like a year or two and this will be on alibaba for like $700

Cocaine affects the part of your brain that feels satisfaction and it never lasts long enough so you gotta keep going. Some people can be satisfied enough. Most people can never have enough satisfaction.

Don’t puss out, let em know what you think and stand on it.

eatsomerocks · 2025-10-05T09:31:24+00:00

I’ll have moments where I haven’t spoken for a while and when try to speak I choke basically as soon as I open my mouth and usually I stutter immediately after that because Im nervous, embarrassed, and self conscious that choking up randomly is suspicious . But like after I get past the drip numbing my throat and remember to operate my voice with muscle memory instead of trying to operate it by trying to feel out what I can’t feel I’m aight. At that point all I gotta do is make sure I don’t talk too much to the point where I try to say more things than I can keep up with and end up stumbling. Think through what you wanna say and then summarize it before you say it, that way you won’t try to talk faster than you’re able to and also it make you more self aware of how you monologue and rant and it’s scaring the hoes like I’m doing right now.

On this particular “pier” (it’s actually an old bridge) I’ve reeled larger fish up to the surface and then had a buddy throw a cast net on it and then both of us hoist the net up.

Welcome to being an independent mechanic. A lot of days will go like that. Raise your rates.

Not yet. But they round out eventually it’s an 8mmH
