Laughed at a mustang that was trying to race me down the road. What did I do you might ask? I saved my baby from high reving for no reason and getting humiliated by the mustang haha.

LOL thats not mine... i sold mine afew weeks ago. LOL thats my dads. we got them for free from our old church when they got rid of all the old manual busses since not everyone could drive a stick so they just kept the automatics and gave the other 6 stick busses away free i got one and my dad got one.LOL

and i tried to pull the bus around the shop but im pretty sure its out of gas and it wouldnt start up afew weeks ago. its just the best place to store it on the gravel drive going to the back of the shop.

ive put my civic on the road the past few days. i love my truck but trying to save alittle gas, so one week i drive the civic and next week i drive the truck
lately 26-28mpg and about 13-15mpg from the truck. tho still both = when it comes to driving experience... they both have pluses and negatives...
what's so bad about a shop press? Should I just rent the tool from autozone that lets me use a clamp and wrench to press out old ball joints and press in new ball joints?

well a shop press rules... when something is square or can be spaced.... but the spindle on my old 94civic was no where near able to get a 90degree angle on the press.LOL





just remember to remove that little metal retainer ring around the balljoint... at least on a 92-95civic not sure about the 96-00 yet since mine are good. but my old one was trashed!!!
and that new one is frozen to help with install so its alittle frosted over. defiantly helped to install the new one, i also used some grease on the joint as well.... every little bit helps im sure
