I provide inspiration!
so how was everyones weekend? i played carbon on a 20 foot projector screen and ate way too much. and actually pulled the crx out. what did everyone else do?
 
Celebrated my two year anniversary with my girlfriend. Started to re arrange my basement and just relaxed for once. It was actually a pretty damn good weekend.
 
eh... aside from the limo ride and the free 25 dollar Seabass dinner... it was normal.
 
Went to my g/f's graduation ceremony. Spent the rest of the weekend relaxing and turning our brains to mush with video games :)
 
got laid, went to a bellydancing concert (girl i know was in the class) which was extremely hot, worked on the mirage, finished welding george's seatrails, moved my sister and my neice back to my parents house, drank, etc etc.


fun filled weekend :)
 
i went to a friends work xmas party
it was at the grand opening for a new high end restaurant
solid mahogany everything, bar, walls, ceiling
anything thats not mahogany is marble
the guy who built it went all out
2 hour open bar = lots of people making asses out of themselves

saturday was working in the garage on a few projects and then beer pong and hi-low
sunday i got suckered into going shopping with the old lady, it sucked... bad
 
saturday - played xbox and cleaned apartment
Sunday - laundry, football and ate a good dinner at a local steakhouse. Came home and was in bed by 7:30.
 
Worked on the Neon, stuck on the main pulley (it totally won't go on)
My friend's daughter's 1yr birthday party Sunday.
Bought loads of shit on Ebay for the Vega.

Haven't u beat carbon yet? Worked Friday night, my girl dragged me to a dance competion as soon as I got off Saturday morning, got to sleep around 2am sunday then back to work Sunday night. pretty dead weekend for me, didn't even get to drop my tranny like I was supposed to, bah, humbug
 
i painted most the weekend... got the snows on the suby... did some x-mass shopping... played pc repair man for 2 people, and painted some more
 
Stayed in Friday night, preparing for finals next week. Went to hooters for some wings, instead of going to Atlantic City for the night like I planned before I had a shitload of work come down on me.

Saturday night I stayed in and did some homework as well. Went to the gym, had a kick butt session and cleaned up the house a bit. Had a friend come over at night.

Sunday, woke up and drove back home. Sold a bodykit for the WRX to some kid from New York, he was a nice guy and we shot the shit for a bit. Saw the family for the first time since Thanksgiving for a couple of hours before I went back home and went to work.

Very low key weekend for myself.

The pulley won't go on or wouldn't come off? Most people have trouble breaking the pulleys free because they spin if you don't put the car in gear and step on the brake sometimes.

Getting the pulley on would seem like the simplest part, line up the key and put the car in gear and step on the brake and torque the shit out of it.

There must be something I'm missing here.
 
Here is what you're missing:

There is no key. There is no timing mark on the outside of the engine. Timing is hidden once you put the timing cover back on.

Chew on that for a minute :)

that said, yeah - I needed a pulley puller to get it off, but it won't go back on. I'm afraid to strip the crank threads, because I can use a bolt / nut to tighten it on straight - but again, the torque gets dangerously close to stripping.

I'm a step away from turning something on a lathe to get it to fit, or getting a new pulley. If not then it's sandpaper again for me (Shoeshine technique, laugh - but I also worked the cam bearings this way to get them into the journals)

like I said, the Neon DOHC is a nightmare.
 
played sick friday night

saturday was gift wrapping for united way at the mall

saturday night was me and a half dozen hotties at the club, took one home :)

Sunday morning was breakfast at a diner with aforementioned ladies, then off to step mom's christmas party complete with backyard football game. Even caught the game winning touchdown on a hail mary, last play of the game!

not bad even though I didn't sleep Saturday :-(
