Like i ever have any progress on my hatch anyways ha idc...

*Edit: oh and BTW the cheapest exhaust quote i got was $180 at a no name muffler shop who does half assed work. Midas was second lowest w/ $235 i think it was. But since i was informed that my cv boot was broken my axles gotta get fixed first. Thats priority ovver my muffler. i mean really there isnt anything wrong with it other than the fact that its getting annoyingly while stopped cause it vibrates so much and such. Ill get it replaced later on in college hopefully this fall.

 

Got it all scheduled to have my axle replaced in the mornin so thats good. other than that no new updates.

 

So everythings fine now, the axle has been replaced. Cost me a total of $273 (or about that much). So im feeling a little light in the wallet right now but overal it wasnt too bad it couldve been worse.

I move into my college dorm in exactly a week so no progress will be done on my car anytime soon BUT now that i will bein college i will be able to buy parts w/o my parents input so thats more fun for me than the whole college idea itself

 

You are exactly like me. I think every aftermarket part I put on my car my parents were not given notice of until they saw it on the car itself. Well I move in one week from tomorrow so goodluck to you!

 

next time start investing in the tools to do the job
only need a few tools to change axle, main thing is a socket large enough for the axle nut and a break bar or a 1/2inch ratchet and the handle from the jack to make your own break bar
then standard set of metric sockets, then a large screwdriver or small crowbar to break axle loose from tranny, then a tuning fork and a big hammer.
if you already had standard tools you could have invested in special tools and had them for life then i think my axle was only like 65-90bucks i think with lifetime warranty. either way it beats the hell outta paying a shop to do it and your also growing your tool collection little by little and getting smarter about fixing your car yourself for next time or even help out a friend. i dont like paying shops for anything i cannt do myself.

 

King Dak; Yah i plan on being like that with my hatch lmao like come back in a few weeks and have like a front lip and new tails would be hillarious lmfao

A2B; yea see i dont have all that crap and am moving into dorms anyway so kinda pointless to buy them now just for my dad to use :P But i was prety pissed though found out this other shop wouldve done it for $100 minus the parts and i could get the parts for $67 i think it was so again i got hosed but whatever i know it was done right haha

So just gotta bag everything up tomorrow and move out on Sat morning haha super excited

Got my oil changed today so no worries for college for a while wish me luck guys! Btw getting a waiting job at Applebee's or some steakhouse so thats exciting too!

 

So first day of college is a lot more chill than i thought it would be idk why ha ive been in my dorm for 2 days now and my roommates a creep! lmao

But my car is still fine minus the very nice "Welcome" that the pigeons gave her on my first day > efffin birds! anyway so thats all fine and dandy yada yada you get the idea, no new updates BUT i AM getting a job at Applebee's so thats amazing and ill be making good fricken money for my car (and college/girlfriend) ha

 

Hey bro I hope college is going well for you man, My first week was fun and ya I have a pot head for a roommate so damn him!

My girls is up here at school with me and balancing your money with her and the car is a very tricky job man good luck!

 

 

Dude! Nike that's amazing man thanks! Haha

And thx King Dak its already hard trying to keep everything balanced between homework and figuring out my new work schedule at Applebee's (yah i got the job!) so ive been stressed my first week ha but it'll get better once i get more settled down and such.
