yeah well i get like that sometimes and if it wasnt for this one dude at work i wouldnt have made it this far i dont reckon or maybe i would have but i would be majorly stressed out and would have probably punched a whole in the wall or something by now. Its gets stressful skinning your knuckles all the time and hitting your hands up against sharp edges

yeah, well today i was contemplating whether i want to do this or not?? Just jobs that piss u off that arent as easy as it seems. Especially when the tradesman give me shit coz i aint as quick as them. Well i am not going to be as quick as them in my 1st year but that doesnt matter to them. I mean alot of the time they were just ganging up on my as a joke but that shits me more. Like i ask for a hand ans they start clapping and saying good on ya mate yeah. thats annoys me alot. But u get over those things i guess even though i aint fully over it now but after a good night sleep and afew rums i more than likely will be

lol. yeah well u will meet alot of those dreamers in live and i will also coz im 18 so still got many years ahead of me. But life sucks sometimes aye. But u keep at it and it gets better. Like on wednesday it will be better for me coz thats when i pick up my new car. Hell yeah. So until that day then it will continue to be shyt

    • Yep it's an r34. Usually people remove struts without removing the front upper control arm (fuca is what i assume this is?) So not sure why mine wouldn't fit. I know on my other car I did a similar job and it wouldn't fit until I removes the ball joint nut even though I didn't remove it prior.   The upper arm doesn't seem to be in the way (the part that's bolted to the chassis. The part that's bolted onto the j arm I'll check that out though.   I was going to compress the spring and put it in with the compressor attached but not sure if it will work  Haven't seen anyone do it.
    • I have a small lip on the boot of the E90 and I've been toying with the idea of trying to mould it in to the boot to remove the gaps. I guess shaving the seams? No idea what the terminology is here.  What I'm wondering is, if it's current double sided taped down, what would I do to more permanently attach it so it makes a good base for the filler? It only has edges so no way to bolt it down unless I add some braces. I've done a lot of fibre glassing in my time so that's nice and easy but I'm not sure what my options are here.  Sorry, this is the best pic I have and I'm 4 million ks from home ATM.  
    • Based on this comment I went googling. A052's in the sizes I want are certainly not cheap, but I couldn't find anything in the V70A anywhere. How much do they run/where do they get sourced from? From what I know (nothing but internet searches and reviews etc) the R888 has pretty much fallen off from anyone's actual use, and the AO52 is the king of "road legal" rubber. Nobody is driving around on their daily for Z221, AO050, DZ03G. At that point, for purely track only tyres - Why not buy actual slicks? Why does nobody actually do that anyway?
    • This an R34? It shouldn't matter though - it should be the same as on any of the others, and by "any of the others" I mean R32, because that is the car that I have had the front end apart on about 50 times this year. Sometimes, it is much easier to get the lower shock eye onto that pin when: a) you have the upper shock nuts backed off a few turns so you can wiggle it a bit more freely. When they are tight the bottom of the strut is much harder to move that _leeeetle_ bit you might need it to to win the fight. b) you have the outer bolt(s) from the FUCA out and so you can move the lower pin around freely too. Then, all you have to do is put the upper arm back on when you've got the rest back together, and this is where jacking under the balljoint can help.
    • One question before I make a bigger mess potentially, do I need to undo the nut on the outer ball joint?
