[QUOTE="flyboypuoi, post: 781662, member: 25768"] My AC backlight has gone faulty! Now I [I]have[/I] to remake this backlight. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0720.JPG"]66947[/ATTACH] Action photo of me hauling ass into uni, you can see the nose raised under acceleration. [ATTACH type="full" alt="received_481719309387696.jpeg"]66948[/ATTACH] This was, however, the last action shot for a while! Something went terribly wrong. After some somewhat excited driving, suddenly I lost the ability to change gear. I had to push the car to a suitable location. It was early morning hours by then. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0723.JPG"]66949[/ATTACH] Had a little walk to see if anything was on the road instead of on the car. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0724.JPG"]66950[/ATTACH] I called for some help, and whacked out the beacon. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0725.JPG"]66951[/ATTACH] I've been keeping tow rope and a beacon in my car this whole time I've had half of an engine. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0726.JPG"]66952[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0727.JPG"]66953[/ATTACH] Help arrived! [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0728.JPG"]66954[/ATTACH] So let's both tow a car for the first time ever. I still had the engine in neutral so I kept it running for brake and steering pressures. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0729.JPG"]66955[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0730.JPG"]66956[/ATTACH] Hazards off (to indicate) and beacon on, away we went. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0731.JPG"]66957[/ATTACH] Chucked on my front foggies to better see the rope without shining light at Eddie. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0732.JPG"]66958[/ATTACH] That was actually really easy. The rope tightened quite a bit on both ends so un-knotting was probably the most difficult part. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0733.JPG"]66959[/ATTACH] A couple of days later, a brand new Luk clutch appeared from another K11 fella. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0734.JPG"]66960[/ATTACH] Time to start pulling stuff off to get this done. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0735.JPG"]66961[/ATTACH] Guess what? This brace wasn't even fully done up at the back. And that mount/anti-vibration thing on the front wasn't even attached to the engine at all.[B] Nice.[/B] We had to stop there though as we didn't have a 17mm spanner. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0736.JPG"]66962[/ATTACH] The next day we continued, 3 of us this time. Some more of the car was taken apart. Guess what else was loose? The starter wasn't even bolted in at all. [ATTACH type="full" alt="cab1.JPG"]66967[/ATTACH] Old clutch out. Failure detected! [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0740.JPG"]66964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0741.JPG"]66965[/ATTACH] I got the new clutch in, but spent the rest of the day trying to get the gearbox on. We just couldn't. We had to give up! [ATTACH type="full" alt="DSC_0742.JPG"]66966[/ATTACH] Now I've got work all weekend, so I'm actually staying at Eddie's as it's near work. I'm car-less for the first time in a long long time! This sucks! Sent from my F8331 using [URL='http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=73708']Micra Sports Club mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
