exactly. I actually park very far in the parking lot and my friends get pissed at me cause I make them walk really far LOL. It just so happens that I was on an end spot where it was easy to get T-boned I guess. I didn't even realize this until after this incident, of course *eye rollQuote:

My dad made a good point about waiting to fix that dent: its going to get dinged up no matter what. Especially in college.
Jigz, there's not very many options for junkyards/pick n pulls here I don't think. I need to do some searching around though
Yeah I got my door hit from parking on the end SMH. I learned my lesson too. They are alot of "Pick-Ur-Parts" in the Valley, check around. And there is one in Santa Fe Springs that I go to quite often, the name of the yard is ECOLOGY AUTO PARTS. They have a number of yards in SoCal. Google them and look up their locations.Quote:

Thanks Will. I'm a little far from Socal right now so I'll have to deal with this damn dent for the time being.
And Jeffylou, we don't have that problem here! 73 degrees and a little breezy :)
No prob, yeah gotta love this Cali weather :)
Just took the car for its first spirited drive since the 5-speed swap was completed, and all I have to say is.. HOLY CRAP
LOLOL! That good huh?Quote:

How were you able to wait that long? I was fairly spirited the night it was completed :)
well I wanted to wait for the clutch to break in, so that took quite some time since I'm in college and only really drive the car once a week. It was well beyond broken in by the time I drove it on Monday, but I just never got around to finding some nice streets to do some spirited driving on :)
Oh yeah, that's right! I forgot about the new clutch. Didn't even think of that since I re-used the original until I disassemble everything again.
well?? when you gonna post vids? :)
I thought it was nice when I got my 5-speed swap done on my 6G72.. I seriously cant wait for the 6G74.. I want it soooo bad!
mountain road cruise meet!!!Quote:

Jeffylou, I don't really even know how to describe this car right now. This is my first time driving manual and I still have trouble sometimes, but it's a lot of fun and makes the car feel a whole lot faster. lol
but anyway.. get that 6G74 in there! NOWWWW! hahaha
Oh and I can't believe I haven't posted any pics from the 5 speed swap yet. I'll do that tomorrow.
