does everyone here work on their real cars too? i do but im not the best at it. is it me or would it be nice to have a section here to ask questions about when you get stuck trying to fix your car? jmo

that would be pretty cool actually...

great idea. mondala?

Would there really be enough specialized chat or help here? I'm thinking if I'm working on my car I'm going to the enthusiast page dedicated to my model with all the gurus?

Uh, yeah im thinking theres a big difference between working a wacom and a wrench. I know theres a few of us here who actually own cars and attempt to work on them but im doubting a tech section is going to get much attention.

idk just a thought. i just did an engine swap and the immediately afterwards a tranny swap (got the engine in then the tranny went south) i ran into problems during the tranny swap and figured it would have been nice to bounce ideas off somebody who might actually know what they're talkin about (my family's useless when it comes to cars)

Yep that musta frustrated you some.
Was it a matter of compatability or was the tranny too wasted to handle the abuse?

ferrariguy · 09-28-2009, 03:11 PM

tranny was too wasted period. cant afford to rebuild it so i bought an AOD for the added milage. plus i do regular runs to reno

I won't need it, my older brother is a genius with everything he wants, and he knows a mechanic, so I'll be asking him.

I could give some advice,i mainly work on my own car and cars of the same model (mainly japenese cars) but usally toyota starlets.
Ive done everything except rebuild the engine internals,which ill be doing next week.

I'm listening. I have my internet back.. just need to get all the new mods promoted and get them on my skype/msn so they can yell at me to actually get something done.
