Some of the best mechanics never bothered to get certified and have no plans to LOL


Absolutely true. My father is one of those people. Grew up taking the stuff apart in his backyard when he was little, and taught himself over the years. You can't learn that kind of knowledge by taking a little written test, or going to college for 2.5 years. If your such a bad-ass mechanic Mr. Fix-it-all, why the hell are you working as a parts slinger?



I think I nominate Mr. "ASE Master Certified" for saying some of the most retarded crap I've heard a DSM'er say in awhile.
 
My experience at the part stores is i know which ones know what they are talking about, yet there is always a good 2-3 who are retards and i cringe every time i have to get waited on by them

Agree...
 
Entourage is one of the most stupid shows ever. I would sue EA for using them in that commercial.
 
I say we protest the new need for speed. "expletive" those guys if they really are implying that we drive coupe-ay's. I'll run those marketing guys over with my coupe-ay. And then toast whatever model car they put on the cover. That made me mad.

3 things about the video pissed me off. 1) They made it purposefully it beat to hell and a squealing belt and all. 2) when the annoucner guys says "it has cars you actually want to drive" i personally love driving and would want to drive others DSMs... and 3) The one guy says "I am not good under 100mph" implying a dsm cant go over 100... it can easily break 100 15years old and stock... I personally wont be buying the game.
 
bnasty love it haha dude I know a vtec that will make a 420a look like a neon and not an srt. Lol just swap a 4g63T 6bolt in it and start from there. Why tune a 420a when a 4g63t will swap right in??????

I sure hope hes not the one working on his or any DSM! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To me it sounds like hes in the wrong feild of work, that or hes just a die hard honda fan boy. DSM breaks the necks of all hondas when the DSM is on a killing spree. The 420A's need loving to. There are probably more 420a DSM's that are in better condition than the 4G63 models are.
 
Just got off of the smoke deck on our ship. I got into a conversation with a guy about cars, who eventually asks

him:"What kind of car do you drive?"
me: "A '97 Eclipse, GST"
him:"What kind of mods have you done to it?"
me: "Not a whole lot; it's got an engine swap from an Evo III and a Big 16G and a little fuel system work."
him:"Man, I've got this friend back home did the same thing with his Eclipse, but with an Evo VIII engine in it; man, he'd straight SMOKE your ass!"
me: "mhm...."


as well as another guy who said
him: "I have a 2002 Camaro with a twin turbo LS1 swapped in it"
me: "REALLY?! You've got to be kidding me, I'm absolutely jealous. What kind of turbos does it have?"
him: "Oh, I don't know... a friend did the work. It's got about 800 ponies under the hood."
me: "Wow... I really MUST get the number to your mechanic..."
him: "We should race when we get back to home port."
me: "HAHA alright. Wanna make it interesting?"
him: "Man, I only race for PINK SLIPS!"

at this point, I had to call him out. And then he said something I will never forget. (Does anyone else identify where this quote came from?)

him: "Well, you know... it's not the ride... it's the rider!"

facepalm*

did u ever take the time to think maybe he swapped the mivec engine into a 420a trim 2g? LOL

its still stupid to hear someone throw out a bs flag though i woulda just walked away at that point.
 
I went to pick up a 98 awd transmission for my talon today. I asked why he was gettin rid of it. The tard said he was gonna do an awd swap on his 2001 420a before he swapped in the bigger v6. He said it was gonna be too much work...

since when did the 2001's had 420a's?
 
telling someone not to recirculate their BOV because "it kills the sound" is probably the dumbest thing i've read in awhile

it makes sense if you have a gm maf and a translator:thumb:
