******* Theives!!
So I met Ben this morning. The plan was to do 7" rear swaps in our cars. Mine with a RX7 clutch LSD, his with a TorsenI. We got his done. But we couldn't do mine because somebody stole my driveshaft out of my parts car. Can you believe that? I'm glad they didn't take the diff out of the car (Ben & I did that today) but that totally fucked my plans of beating on my car in the mountains tomorrow. I'm still going, but I won't be thrashing it like I wanted to.
And yes, getting the axle nuts off his car was a PITA.
And we learned so much by getting his done, I bet we can do mine in under an hour from the time we rack the car to the time our hands are clean.
If anyone can help me out with a 1.8 driveshaft, I need one... Like yesterday
<edit>
also, while on that subject, how do I get the old bushings out of the diff? We tried to press them out on the 15 ton press, but that didn't do ****. Torch?

You gotta drill them. 4 holes on each "side" should do it.
sorry about the driveshaft....was it chillin' at your shop? someone with a miata must have an eye on the place or something.
you need a motion detecting ip web camera.

Meth heads steal Catalytic converters around here and sell them for scrap, They also steal road signs, metal siding, metal barriers, etc to sell for scrap to pay for Meth. I could see a driveshaft falling into that category.

Yeah I had a drive shaft dummy 
Last time I saw it was Thursday. Saturday AM, which was the next time I went to the car, it was gone. It was probably taken for scrap. Might be worth maybe 1.00 or so.
Loki, yes I need it. I tried to pick one up locally, but haven't had luck.

Ugh,
I have damn thieves. I got a little Toy BB gun stolen from me by a little kid (they stole that rather than some of the other stuff in my car).
I've yet to get parts jacked (thank god), and it's a good thing I do not drive a Civic/Integra because around here, those are the biggest targets of theft.
