So on Sunday I drove my car to my mechanic's shop so that I could do my clutch install myself in his garage using his tools, since I no longer have any tools because they got stolen. This was the same mechanic who did my swap, but I had no intention of having him touch the car. Well it turns out that I'm 100% completely mechanically retarded...at the end of the day I didn't even have both axles out of the car.
And since it was in the shop's main bay and my mechanic had to have it out of there and I had to work, I couldn't continue on it and had to pay him to do my clutch installation. So I got my car back today and took it for a drive...it is now so screwed up it's ridiculous. Now I have to hold the wheel ten degrees or so clockwise to drive straight! I also have a new paint chip on the side of my door from my mechanic hitting the door with something, and my front brakes squeal when I come to a stop. It's so ridiculously sick how retarded my mechanic is. My car was fine except for a bad throwout bearing due to my mechanic being a retard and using the wrong one on my tranny. Now it doesn't drive straight and my brakes squeal. I just don't even know what to do anymore...my car used to be nice...now look at it...it's a piece of garbage...I don't even think I could sell this car anymore. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Celicaca, I think you're right. I'm not going to go near my mechanic any more after today.
And yes, cars are a huge part of my life. When I pay my money that I don't have to have my car(that I've invested $16,000 into and spent countless hours and much stress working on) get destroyed, it makes me very angry. Cars are a large part of my life, just like my friends who I love dearly, my family(even though my mom hates me and we haven't said a kind word to each other in a month.), etc. There's more to life than my car, but like I said, cars are a big part of my life. I'm sure there are many other people on the site who share my love for cars. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
