Topic: Two Lemonites making a homemade car show

Hey guys, we're Meghann and Jim from Our Lady of Perpetual Downforce. If you've seen a sky blue '88 civic with a gigantic wing bolted to the top rolling around SE region, that's OLPD.

I'm the guy who wrote the driving version of the Lord's Prayer.

We're making a homemade car show about our Exocet build. Thought you guys might enjoy it. It has jokes, explosions, a lobster, more explosions, and then some more jokes.

Give it a look here:

Re: Two Lemonites making a homemade car show

I have been pushing for our team to build an shared Exocet as a track day car. Here in California, with SB100, I believe it is the best bet as a street legal track toy.

I enjoyed it.

Couldn't you have used the slide hammer to pull instead of push?

I believe so too, as you know.

With the slide hammer I was trying to get the axle disengaged from the knuckle. We did eventually get it out but only with the use of a friend's shop press. We mushroomed the axle but good trying to use the slide hammer.

I'm told there is a slide hammer attachment that helps you knock the axle out of the diff but we didn't know that or have one at the time.

Unfortunately our race reports are often exactly the opposite.

Patrick Swayzee bars, LOL. Pretty entertaining stuff.

Fourteen time loser. You'd think I'd know better by now.
