Fingers crossed, wish I could help more.

Manifolds breaking bolts is a ridiculously common thing, some models are really bad for it, looking at you Chevy trucks.

Interesting, haven't actually seen a lot of steering rack failures myself, but every model has it's thing. What is the engine doing? Cause these days there's so many things that can cause engines to run poorly

Chrysler things. Find a way to get me and my tools out to Ottawa and sure!

All done! Test driven and alignment checked and all. Ignore the missing hub cap, my dad didn't bring them with him after I swapped his winters on a couple days ago, left them off for retorquing the lug nuts.

Already out! Almost like I know what I'm doing or something.

Also need to share these! Shirts @coffeespots.ca got me for my birthday, with corgis on them! I need to do a recount of corgi shirts I have, between them and the custom shirts for cons I think I could go a month without doing laundry <.<

Almost forgot to share this! I finished the Hoonicorn a couple days ago, a simple but fun little build of an absolutely legendary car, they really captured the aggressive look of the real thing!

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Got most of the way through the Hoonicorn build, these sets are around 1/3 the pieces of the GT40 and new Bronco kits I built recently, and still smaller than the Gameboy I did around Christmas, so they go rather quick!

More Legos! Didn't hit up a Lego store at Calfurry so I decided to check the local toy store, got a couple small ones this time :3

We both work for the same service but in different places, at least until I finish school and can transfer to the city.

I was formerly a mechanic and now work in EMS, holy shit does this one resonate with me.....

And to show off its suspension!

I also purged a ton of cardboard that has been there for ages, shuffled some stuff around, and largely just worked on finally getting that space cleared out and organized. I might actually be able to put in a tire set up, which would mean I basically don't need shops at all.

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
Also got up to hanging some of the stuff I got at IKEA during FurEh in my garage, couple bins for various tool bits and a key hook/stand thingy I'm gonna use to put my phone on instead of the charging dock for my scan tool. I have shelves as well but need bigger hardware.

Also cheetahs: Get brain damage if they run full out for a couple seconds

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
Could I continue on not using a thing I have refused to use since the beginning and have actively avoided like the plague? That's a really tough question....

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
The steering setup on this one is pretty elaborate, runs from the back through 4 gears around midship, was curious about this and looked ahead, looks like they hid the steering in the rear mounted spare which is incredibly clever! The GT40 just has a random gear on top to turn XD

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
Worked on the Lego Bronco a bit more this morning, it has a working differential! Much easier to set up than the real deal XD It also has read suspension as can be seen in the second pic :3

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
Just like the GT40 it also has an "engine" that will turn with the rear wheels, though only a V6 this time, have to see what dress up they give it if any, the GT40 has a little carburetor plate but that's based on a vehicle 60 years older than this one XD

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
These sets have some neat features, this one has a similar steering setup to the GT40, but it also has a suspension system using a single spring up front and a couple steering knuckles with simple ball joints.

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
Also this little IKEA three shelf thingy I grabbed is kind of perfect for Lego, really nice height while sitting on the couch as well!

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
Lego times again! Bought this during FurEh and finally have a moment I feel able to start on it!

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
Oh you were having an absolute giggle fit and that's a big part of why I couldn't keep from laughing XD

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
I think I cut this when I did because I could not contain my laughter anymore XD

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
I have also ordered more stickers for this! They went over well at VF so hopefully I got enough this time XD

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 02/07/2026
Decided to finally clear the top of my tool box, had a bin of various plugs scattered on it for months.... Gonna mount the charging stuff on the wall finally as well, so I should have pretty much the entire top cleared. Then I just have the rest of the shop :3

After an unexpected delay back on track. Bolt snapped in the diff yoke and had to drill it and tap out to run a longer bolt through, had to get a new puller since the one I had refused to pull the yoke. Now doing the axle seal and fluid, so much easier doing it the proper way, lessons learned.

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
One seal done! Also already dealt with checking the non working license lights and the rotted out vacuum hose

New shiny thing is in, ran car and no leaks, gonna let it sit over night and make sure nothing drips, then figure out what they did to the skid plate tomorrow, would leave it off for a bit, but this pan has a plastic plug where a level sensor could, would rather have that protected.

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
Stupid pan is out! The one tried to strip on me and I had to hammer the bit into it, but it's out finally. This has not helped my opinion of how "wonderful" German engineering is......

Thankfully I'm not actually in any kind of rush, I'm off work until the 23rd, and I lent my niece my vehicle while I have my dad's Ranger, but it's still frustrating because I should be done by now. I have also broken ball ends, luckily these bolts were out like 3 months ago, coming out easy so far

Corgnito @corgnito.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
Tools found, that was a pain in the ass since the proper tool places aren't open Sunday. Also found, food, so now is lunch.
