Snow? Its All Over

[petayV8]

I love Jeeps. I wish i had a donar car to work and learn on. To scared to mess with my IS

[The Transporter]

PMSL......Yeah, stripping an engine out is just as easy as that.....Connectors never get filled with mud and jam, plastic clips never go brittle with heat and time, bolts and nuts never rust, studs never snap.... You are what is wrong with this country today, you think that because you saw it on the internet then it is easy and the guys who work on cars professionally are all low brow knuckle draggers... I'm sorry but with an attitude like yours you will never be able to work on your own car....Granted you may be able to convrt your car into a pile of spare parts but that is as far as you go.....Until you can walk the walk don't try to bulsh1t us with your 0-60 bollox....You have no idea..

To be honest, the IS is easier to work on than the Jeep.... Especially because I don't have to stand on steps to reach over.... Best thing to do is to buy an old banger that would be going for scrap and tinker with it... That's how I learned.... My pal and I used to race each other to remove the engines from our Mk1 escorts strip them down and rebuild them in the evenings after work though before we build an engine crane we used to lift the engines out using rope and a scaffold tube.... Then we taught ourselves to weld when we got our hands on a set of specifications for the bodyshells for The escort rally cars.....Then we started fittin bigger engines and larger carburettors

Keep your eye out for a dead IS200 and tinker with that....Pull it apart, see how it works... That way you learn and still have a collection of spares for your good car..... I may have a knackered but driveable Jeep Cherokee going for very little cash in a few months

Ray common sense should tell both you and matt that am not talking in terms of badge or number of doors when i say IS300 is a Supra am talking in terms of engine and how it performance on the road. Of course it does not have Toyota Supra etched at the back but does it GO like one?? Ask Nabouki Katayama for proof lol ...

So why do you keep saying your car is a 4 door Supra if you're not talking about doors?

Ray you say the head is different right? Can you back this up with evidence for us? Am i a qualified mechanic? The answer is no do i know one or two things about cars or can i take one apart with help from my mechanic mate? Sure we could.. Do i get some info from the net ray? Now who doesn't even qualified mechanics in Bmw access the net for information to trouble shoot and fix issues they not familiar with? You bet they do..

if you and matt claim IS300 is not a Supra or cant go like one bring me an NA Supra and lets see if he can put 5 car lenghts on me.

Where has this "5 car lengths" from, why do you keep mentioning it, and who even said it was some kind of measurement that you insist on referencing?

Ask Nabouki Katayama for proof lol ...

Ok, give him a ring then please.

I never claimed i could in fact i made it clear i was not a mechanic but that does not mean i dont know how a car works. and does that make me less of a human? i guess not.

Hang on, you already said this;

do i know one or two things about cars or can i take one apart with help from my mechanic mate? Sure we could..

Surely you're not contradicting yourself again? Also, why are you bringing anything into about about being "less of a human"? Freudian slip maybe?

Transporter we live in the information technology age where people who havent flown planes in real life could land a real one just from playing flight simulator game on the xbos. where people become real racing drivers from playing Granturismo, where people have delivered babies from watching delivery videos on youtube... what am i saying here transporter?? being a mechanic is not Rocket Science... a couple of hours watching mechanic DVD's. youtube videos and Haynes manuals and with the right tools and work space, i will strip down that engine same as you did and will do a better job whilst am at it.

let me know if my above statement is wrong transporter..

I would love to be there when you say this to a real racing driver, a real pilot, and a real mechanic

oh come off it transporter

can i change car tyres? yes

can i change my oil ?yes even thought i dont due to not having the space

can i change my light bulbs front and rear? Yes

can i change my air filter? yes

so dont think am a novice when it comes to cars matey like i said am no mechanic but but know my way round a car thank you very much sir.

So why then did you only cite all the novice items? My sister can change her own air filter, bulbs, wheel and Battery.

[matt-c]

Also, may I remind you of when you wrote this;

Really :-) ?? OK will stay out of it now will let matt, transporter & buddy ray go on about how they love my 4 door Supra lol

Because i) you've clearly reneged on your own word, and ii) I'm still waiting for you to provide a quote where I've done anything like what you said above

My girlfriend can do most of that but she wears white cotton gloves to protect her nails.....This is very basic maintainance not making your small family car into a supercar......You talk the talk but it's all bollox

[matt-c]

Trouble is, he can't even talk the talk - he just CTRL+C and CTRL+V's the talk...

[noby76]

hahaha so what you and transporter is saying is i need to be able to strip down an engine to qualify for knowing things about cars?? haha. let me break the honest truth for you guys. one does not need a degree in auto mechanics to know how. a camshaft works, crankshaft works, valves, turbo engines, exhaust, ECU, fuel injector, radiator, gearbox and the list goes on.. like i said all these are self taught and more over i used to be in the car tuning scene aswell attending meets hear and there and modyfying my previous cars so as confirmed. there is nothing you both can do on a car which i cant.

back to Snow i heardon TV its definately all Over.

Its just the fact that my IS is my only car and i rely on it as my daily driver so cant afford to have it off the road at any time... i will deff be getting a car to mess about with at some point, for me it will be a classic for restoration and can learn along the way :)

I also enjoy watching videos and reading up stuff online like noby, its educational and interesting but its not comparible to getting stuck in yourself, i know this because my friend is also a mechanic and have helped him with various things and its not a walk in the park, troubleshooting the problem is the hardest thing in mechanics not just the fixing

Interesting. So tell me please, what is it I can and can't do to a car then?

[noby76]

put what you smoking away matt and type properly.

[matt-c]

I'm sorry you didn't understand that. I'll try to explain it more clearly...

You just said "there's nothing you both can do on a car which I can't" (ps, if you want to talk about typing properly, that should actually be "There's nothing either of you can do to a car that I can't" but that'd just be being pedantic, right?) . So in essence, you claim to know what I can - or cannot - do "on a car".

So please, tell me what it is you know I can - or cannot - do "on a car"

Let me know if you struggle to understand that. I'll ask my neighbours five year old to write it at her level so you understand.

[noby76]

ok you a qualified mechanic right?? try making it go like mine..lets all see if you can!

[matt-c]

No, you've misunderstood again. You've just claimed to know what I can or cannot do to a car. I asking you to tell me what it is you know I can or cannot do. That doesn't mean "ask me if I'm a mechanic". It means write down on here what you know I can or cannot do "on a car".

Because clearly you know, otherwise you wouldn't have said something so foolish...

On topic in uk winter tyres should be used for most of the year!!! Infact in Scotland thats all that should be used!!! Summer tyres are ment for 10c + and winter tyres are ment for 7c and below which in uk 9 months of the year its below 7c.....

Summer tyres really should be only used from around june till September and winter for the rest.

And before anyone trys to say which is best for snow its 4wd then fwd then rwd.

Indeed, no degree needed to appreciate how they work but you would have to be a bit brighter than your 40 watts to beable to design them and more so to be able to design them to work together and extract the best from the engine... The stuff that you buy from tuning shops is all thought out for you....There is nothing that I can do that you can't?....

Here's a little project for you..... Problem, vehicle fitted with a Sanden SD7V16 air conditioning compressor is not cooling. Refrigerant weight is fine, blower is working fine, electomagnetic clutch is engaging, discharge pressure id 55psi, back pressure is 48psi....What is the problem, what is the solution?....I'll give you 'till the morning to google it

[The Transporter]

ok you a qualified mechanic right?? try making it go like mine..lets all see if you can!

So tell us, what qualifications do you need to be a mechanic?

[noby76]

and heres yours. downlaod a sample table from Microsoft website

http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/93587

and create a Sql Server report returning all customers with sales aginast them and the products they bought.

will give you till next week to google it.

I brought on subject of mechanics and repair. Repairing and Modify/tuning are two things in mechanics. Sorry if i steered the topic off a bit....

[matt-c]

He already answered that - just a YouTube video and a DVD apparently

[matt-c]

Hey, don't forget about this;

No, you've misunderstood again. You've just claimed to know what I can or cannot do to a car. I asking you to tell me what it is you know I can or cannot do. That doesn't mean "ask me if I'm a mechanic". It means write down on here what you know I can or cannot do "on a car".

Because clearly you know, otherwise you wouldn't have said something so foolish...

My clean IS200 is faster than a dirty IS300 because my car being clean will cut through the wind much easier..

No... thats funny, but so is this thread :)

[The Transporter]

Sorry Knobby, but you told us all that you can do what I do.... So I'm afraid that I'm not letting you off your homework and won't let you change the subject.... What was the problem and what is the solution?

[The Transporter]

You mean that there was a topic on this thread? I thought we were just following the ramblings of Nobby and a bottle of white lightning
