He's going to kill himself


Didn't we just discuss having to spoon feed the new generation, which also requires instant gratification and accepts zero responsibility for any of its actions? Sigh..

I've decided to do this on my own. I'm an engineering tech and am very mechanically inclined.

Not quite the same, but sort of.

It's not illegal to be an idiot. Unfortunately.

So if you give bad advice, it will be up to the prosecutor to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you *are not* an idiot.

And all your Public Defender (because let's be honest, you're not paying for a good lawyer) will need to do is show the reams and reams of printouts of your contributions to this and other rambling threads, and you'll be home free.

And you can trust me on that, because I'm not only an English teacher, I'm also an eLawyer.

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people that absolutely bite the hand that feed them.

No wonder the OGs get fed up and stop dealing with noobs. And then late-bloomers like me come in late to the game and miss out on all the good knowledge because of the dummies.

Whatever, Justin is just a dumbass who doesn't know a single thing about cars...

Except how to fix and/or replace anything on them. What a stupid idiot. I wouldn't trust him.

(I hope there is no need for red text here)

Man, I've tried that whole "lets walk through the troubleshooting step-by-step" thing before too, and had the same reaction. Like, I'm asking you the dumb questions first because A) you provided a shit explanation of your problem, and B) you seem dumb; so lets bang those out first and move on to the next step.

And far more often than not, it ends the same way. *I'm* the dummy.

Oh well. My shit isn't bouncing off the rev limiter and causing confusion in my life.

G/L Fam.

So obvious though... Ol' boy just needs to spray some Plastidip on his throttle body, spark plugs, and injectors.

That should take care of that.

alright guys I got a question for ya ... havent messed with the suspension in my car yet, I'm curious as to any advice you can give me. I'm looking to drop about an inch or so, I dont want to have to mess with fender rolling. My problem is this, if I go with a new set up how low can i go without doing a fender roll, and will I then be lower than i would be if I just do a body kit instead? I'm not trying to go real low, with the roads around here and there being a curb into every entryway, it would be seriously inconvenient. What would more appealing to the eye? I cannot decide. So many decisions it make my head spin

I don't think the OEM aero kit really gives a measurable change in clearance to the ground.

That is, the kit isn't any lower to the ground than the stock bodywork.

Not sure if there is some ViS crapkit that will take up some under gap or not. But that's so 90's.
