You should make sure the rear trans/engine mount is intact.
yea. I filled it with polyurethane but that kind of failed. I'll check them when I get some time and I will probably go to prothane once the holidays are overQuote:

either TOB, ISB, or loose flywheel but since you torqued the flywheel down and im assuming you used threadlock as well, we can rule that out.
I would pull the trans and see if one of the Pressure plate arms are hitting the TOB because they are sticking out.
If it's the ISB I wouldnt worry about it. Numerous people on C3G asked about the same issue and it's just a noise. Doesn't affect the trans whatsoever. You can get it replaced but it will just keep coming back. Even the engineers at the Normal factory said it's just an annoying noise you have to live with.
RAHHHHH someone backed into my car and had the balls to leave my poor car sitting there :( with no note
passenger side door has a huge dent around the door handle. It still opens fine, but it's ugly as sin

Damn bro that just sucks. How do people not watch out when they are driving.
where were you ? cameras ?
scumbags
Try and find a white door at your local junk yard.. The rear door is untouched.. Just some detail and those scuffs should come off..
actually sadly theres a small indent right near the front door. Not TOO noticeable, but I'm still pissed. It was parked in the student resident parking lot (hence why I say the people were probably drunk). No cameras unfortunatelyQuote:

Haha woooo! I'm with emerson over here..
Sorry about the mishap Adrian. I am not looking forward to parking at the UTi lot this coming semester. Hence why I will prolly take public transportation instead. Hope you find the asshole and hit him with a hammer sharp end to the eye! lol.
Sorry to see that, but remove the door panel and try to push out as much as possible until you can replace it.
I also know that some of the paint less dent repair shops do really well.
Dude that totally sucks! I know how it feels! christmas 07 I was at a K-mart parked my 99 VR4 in the rear and when I came out my marker light was busted and that light alone was almost 200$
That really sucks. I hope you find a matching door soon.
the closest passenger side front doors to here are like 100 miles away, and places want like $200 +
ugh this is so annoying
oh and that's not even matching color either
You need to check out a Pick-n-Pull dude. There are a lot of galants in my Local Pick-n-pull.
go to a body shop. Will knows one that will hook you up for cheap. pm Ivory_G

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.
