I finally made it in! (reintroduction)

[100percentjake]

Hi all, you may know me from Kinja as Jake, Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To or as Murdersofa Jake or as 100percentjake, youtuber mediocreaire (I make no claims). After a few dozen attempts over the last few days I finally got my registration smashed bodily into the skull of this new site's MongoDB instance! Yay! The secret was InPrivate mode in MS Edge. Incognito in Chrome didn't work, despite being the same browser engine. I have no explanation. Anyways...

Hello! Welcome to the other side, I suppose. Now that we're on a somewhat-standard forum software without all of the Kinja hopefully things will be a bit more... stable?

Bit of a life update: things have been trucking along. Still working on my 2003 BMW 330i ZHP restoration project, still beating the absolute piss out of my 2008 Miata GT, and my wife dailies the 2000 Honda Insight 5MT Hybrid.

Still have the Duc... planning on disassembling it a fair bit once the weather gets objectionable and getting started on refurbishing the tattered fairings and converting it to EFI.

Once I can get consistent lift access I may relegate the BMW to a week on the lift while I drop both subframes and replace all the rear bushings, diff seals, the shifter mechanism with Z3 parts, oil pan gasket, and maybe a couple other things while I'm in there.

Still makin videos, still posting them twice a week at https://www.youtube.com/100percentjake so check that out and subscribe if you want to see more of my adventures. I'm no Hoovie but, hey, I try.

The murdersofa is gone. Just like oppo...

Welcome Jake, glad you switched up your luck by joining us, hopefully all the bad luck is stuck in kinja-verse!

[Chariotoflove]

I’m not sure I believe this is really Jake. Too much of that stuff appears to be running...

[Jordan]

@chariotoflove Just watch some of his videos and you'll realize that it's definitely still Jake.

[tysmagic]

hey! I made it in too - glad we could get the band back together?

[100percentjake]

@chariotoflove It all runs 6 days out of the week then I have to fix it again on the 7th

They do all their work over those six days, and on the seventh day, they rest. Good Christian vehicles, apparently.

[ClassicDatsunDebate]

@100percentjake Yay...more potential Datsun content

[TheJWT]

What's the story behind the Z car in the first pic?

[CaptDale - is secretly British]

@100percentjake What happened to the murdersofa?

[Nauraushaun]

What about the 2+2 Z?

[ITA97]

@100percentjake Glad you finally made it in.

[chan]

@100percentjake Welcome back!

[MM54]

Welcome (back)!

[RallyDarkstrike]

@100percentjake Glad to have you with us Jake! Always enjoy the Youtube content......

Also...that Z makes me sad.

Sold it to a cousin who was desperate for transportation, then some stuff broke and he offloaded it.

Fun fact: my hideous green 1997 Riviera I bought for $650 3 years ago just popped up for sale in worse condition for $1000.

Ah that is funny. Always weird seeing your old car for sale. Not sure I have ever had the pleasure to be honest. I do wonder what happened to them though.
