jesus dude. the time, and money spent on that. just go to a beaner muffler shop, talk them down to $40 to install a new pipe.

been lowballing these cunts for years. paid $40 to replace my cat, paid $40 to remove my parents cat that rusted away, and paid the same $40 to fix a rusted exhaust on my car.
Their shop rate is $60 an hour, wanted 2 hours on some of these jobs that literally took 20 minutes. I supplied my own parts.

The original pipe is still in there

I only had to get some exhaust glue which was pretty cheap.
Also we don't have beaners in yurop.

Put a new speaker in my rear left door today, after not having one for nearly three years as the previous one was completely blown when I bought the car

>>14810450
then talk to mohamed

>>14810460
May have to do this soon, I think I blew out the speakers in my car when I accidentally put it on Loud

>>14810568
Mine was VERY noticeable when listening to a band called Avantasia... something about their style/tone made the speaker sound like absolute dogshit

>>14810574
Well my right side speakers no longer work at all, sometimes they'll try to kick in but they just go back to silent.

>>14810583
Hm, in that case it sounds like they've completely dislocated the membrane...

>>14810606
Either that, or you've got loose/corroded connectors or perhaps bad wiring somewhere else

I had a bent strut rod on my MR2 so I ordered a replacement and decided to strengthen both the good strut rods with a sleeving of steel tubing. Took it to work and welded em up and I'll be getting them powdercoated next week.

Accent just got paid off, three days later it starts misfing pretty hard.

This is what I found when I went to replace the plugs and coil packs. Jesus fucking christ.

Misfire and engine light are gone, but now it runs a little rougher and the cat is rattling like a motherfucker. I'll replace that myself when I fix the valve cover leak in a week or two.

Yeah it's probably that, I'll get around to it tomorrow probably.

I pulled this from a customers car last week. Believe it or not it was an intermittent misfire.
