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...

Woo Hoo! I just got back from a 2AM drive throughout the city and on some of the canyon roads and I think I'm back in love with the car. I don't know if it's the flywheel or the cool night temperature or what, but the car was pulling really hard tonight throughout the entire powerband!
Combined with the better handling feel provided by having power steering back, the car feels soooooooo much better than it did before. I drove the car for an hour and a half and loved every second of it...something that hasn't happened in a while. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
