Hit with multiple problems at once!!!!

OK, this is what is going on with my B13.
1st of all my AC bearing went and now I hear a crunching noise when I drive without the AC engaged. When it is on I have complete silence, but right now Phoenix has the bomb @$$ weather right now so no need for the AC

2nd I am driving to work and when I turn I hear a Clack clak clak noise from my passenger side tire. My axle is half way going out on me

3rd I still haven't got around to changing the driver side wheel bearing so the annoying grinding noise is still there whenever I am going faster than 20 mph

4th I started my car in the morning as I do everyday when I go to work and the car kind of hesitated to start I didn't think anything of it. I was going to Burger King to get a $0.99 Whopper

When the car didn't even kick over. My friend helped me push start it and off I went. I first thought the Battery was dead or maybe the alternator took a crap on me. But no it had to be the starter!

5th, here is the kicker! After I rested at home after awhile I decide to inspect the B13 bumper to bumper. After I got done being a grease monkey, I let the car down from being up on jacks. I wanted to assess the cars handling and see if I missed anything. I am in first gear at 3000 RPM's and I let off and the Nismo front motor mount insert rubber piece shifts or something causing the motor to jerk forward hard as hell and then my shifter slams/power shifts itself into second (or so I thought) and the NOTHING! I cannot shift gears or anything I am stuck in second gear but it is acting like neutral. Here is what happened, the rear motor mount support piece that bolts to the tranny-to the rear motor mount- to the block had only one of three fuken bolt holding it on!!! So the jerking motion caused too much stress and busted the ONE bolt holding it together. So I have to drill and retap the tranny holes and hope for it to work. The Jack@$$ that changed my clutch 1 1/2 ago didn't even put the other 2 bolts in. I am amazed that the bolt lasted this long.

This is gonna be a long weekend.....................

But the SR20 is UNHARMED, Hooray!!! (I gotta look at the bright side).

After the whopper settles, take a trip to your local ABC store. LOL just kidding man...damn that sucks you had those problems all in a day! Knock out one problem at a time...that's all you can do, really. And drink ice cold beer while doing so.

That sux dude. My B12 had tranny mount bolts that were totally stripped too, kinda pain in the ass. I had the mechanic re-enforce the dog-bones (it ahd 2) to stabilise it till i could have it re-tapped. Maybe just get a belt to elimenate the ac for now.

I have a long weekend ahead of me too. Waiting for UPS to show up with my clutch/brakes from courtesy. I still need to pick up shocks. Although compared to you my B13's woes seem rather pedestrian.
