Fucked up some wheel studs, replaced the studs, replacing studs in the back is easy. Fucked up some studs in the front, replacing studs in the front ruins wheel bearings, but I try to reuse them. Wheel bearing takes a dump shortly after. I bet the wheel bearing on the other side is going to take a dump too, and they are less than a year old. Anyways from now on I only use a torque wrench to put wheels on, overtightening them with an impact is bad as I learned.
Lucky for me, this weekend third gear grind came back, and I bet fourth is going to follow soon. What a great $800 rare GS-R transmission that needs a rebuild now. So with the transmission not only is the huge amount of freeplay in the transmission making the car extremely irriating to drive since the transmission shop probably fucked up shimming the FD correctly, now third is starting go, which means I will probably only have use of it for a few more months if it's anything like my last transmission, and driving without a third sucks. Money for a rebuild is not coming anytime soon.
So the bad wheel bearing is causing the car to pull all over the road because the wheel has freeplay, and is probably causing the brakes to work poorly, because for some reason whenever something in the suspension/wheel has play the brake pedal starts to go to the floor, I have no idea why this happens. Just like I have no idea why no matter how many times I bleed the brakes and adjust the rear brakes they are always weak and soggy. New rotors and pads to replace my very warped rotors and crappy pads going on this weekend, maybe that'll fix my problem with the brakes but I doubt it. I hate weak unresponsive brakes.

I also just replaced a balljoint because the boot tore. My engine still does the annoying lagging thing at lower rpm cruising, which I've never been able to figure out, and my shitty pea shooter exhaust has a leak now that is making the car smell inside. This tiny exhaust is also sucking power and probably making the engine rev slow, making heel toe hard, just like the sinking brake pedal, heavy flywheel, and narrow gas pedal are. I have a new muffler waiting for pipes but no money to do the exhaust right now which it has needed since the swap. The car is also rusting which needs to be fixed at some point. Everything in the car is starting to feel looser, probably because all the old shitty bushings don't like my abuse.
I guess my biggest problem is lack of money to keep fixing stuff. There's a few other things the car needs before I'm happy with it that I can't afford right now, which are making it suck to drive. That and the problems I can't figure out. /endrant
There's probably more I can't think of now.
