keep it open, so he can keep coming back to defend his tunner's "honner"

changchewsoon · 02-05-2011, 01:50 AM

Ditto. I just dont care for people who bash others because they are not using top of the line parts. The Yaris is a cheap car and most people here will modify on a budget and be creative with parts. I had a post on my turbo thread from XBG about buying fittings from ace hardware store for my turbo oil drain line. Yes, I guess I could have bought 200$ aeroquip fittings from a hot rod shop like him, but I would rather not put 20,000$ into a 13,000$ car. It just dont make no sense to me.

But those 5 dollars parts will fail because they aren't anodized and make of super secret special "Aircraft Aluminum".

Some times cheap and dirty works just as well as expensive and clean.

And I would. BUT you won't find me criticizing the budget method. It's ALL good in my book.

PETERPOOP · 02-20-2011, 11:09 PM

I'm definitely half way to the 20,000 mark. X(

Went to a fitting place to get an oil drain fitting to mate up to an oil drain flange. Went to a hot rod shop first, asked for aluminum ones, they said no and sent me to this place.

Went to the counter and asked the guy about the fitting there along with hose. He just looks at me and was like THERE IS NO REASON TO USE THOSE ALUMINUM FITTINGS ON CARS. Tosses me a steel one makes the line discounted me and has worked flawless. $8 later instead of.... maybe $50 ???

I have a friend that once worked at a local machine shop on a CNC machine and they produced some aeroquip fittings. He was bragging that they were used on the space shuttle. Then I asked him if that was the reason it kept blowing up in a ball of fire!

so, he worked for Aeroquip then?

I've seen this dude over at Scikotics. WOW, what away to end.

Shifty Eyes · 03-26-2011, 09:43 AM

it took a bit to read, but this is one of the best builds i've seen. I do not belive there has been anything left undone. Very clean. Would enjoy to talk to this guy or someone who has any knowledge of this motor.

If the OP has been banned i guess thats the end of the story here..
Curious as to why he got banned

PETERPOOP · 03-26-2011, 05:29 PM

People like him get banned right away these days. But tamango has been somehow avoiding it for years. Strange system.

Shifty Eyes · 03-26-2011, 06:31 PM

Thats too bad. after going back looks as if alot of it was provoked. The sites over here are not so thin skinned. You can say what you want. It's like a radio station you don't have to listen just change the channel if you dont like what you hear. None the less this ride is was cool. Any idea if he belongs to another forum?

Bluevitz-rs · 03-26-2011, 06:36 PM

^ I've seen him on scionlife.com

xnamerxx · 03-26-2011, 07:12 PM

Its not about being thin skinned. He was spewing garbage and giving no tech to people who asked for it. He couldn't take any criticism about his ride at all and would lash out at anyone who did.
If I was looking for info on a 1nz-fe and all I came across was a guy who has a cool ride but is unwilling to answer any questions thats not helping me do what I need to do. This is a forum not a blog.

Shifty Eyes · 03-26-2011, 07:58 PM

Thanks Blue-Vitz, found him. Also Pterpoop You seem cool too. Xnamerx you seem disgruntled. Perhaps you just came off wrong to him. either way, it's just a forum..you can choose to not respond to someone or just move on.

I posted some pics about a week ago in the photo section if you all care to look.

Also looking at his posts at Scionlife, he seems very helpful and well established. I'll try my luck
