Ooooooooooooooohhhh 6.55:1 granny gear with a 32 spline mainshaft and fuck overdrive!

I replaced the water pump on my car once.

I've replaced the throttle cable on my bike once, and installed HID's on my Subaru...

I just replaced my thermostat, and had to blow out my heater core.

So, you've taken it all apart.

Which begs the question, can you put it back together with no extra parts left over?

What Granny Gear may look like:

From start to finish: Neutral, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, Low, Reverse... also HIDs are gay, and this transmission is probably about 35 to 45 years old.

I don't have the blue HID's. They're the 55w 5000k, and I've got projector style headlights so they're focused below the eye line of oncoming traffic

Nope, you're doing it wrong. HIDs should only be in halogen housings, blue as fuck, and you need to make sure that your headlights are set at eye level. Just so that everyone at night driving in the opposite direction knows just how fucking cool you are!

You're a hillbilly, so I am sure you've actually pulled this one.

One headlight is out and you don't want to get stopped by the cops. But you're too lazy/poor/trashy to actually buy a new 10 dollar bulb. Your solution: Turn on your brights. Odds are the bright filament isn't blown. Blinding everyone coming and going but hey, two headlights.

I'm guessing you're a hipster and probably don't even know the difference between HIDs and Halogens without googling.

While I don't tear apart engines too much, I'm pretty handy. As I noted before I just changed my thermostat. Blew out the heater core as it was blocked, and I was freezing my ass off. Heat is fucking roasting now. Last week I changed the oil and rotated my tires. I do the piddly maintenance on my car. Hell, I even own two bottle jacks and a set of jack stands.
I'll go further. The reason I had to blow out the core was because some clown ass (actually the people that Honda farmed out the work to, but I digress) put silicate antifreeze in the car. It's a Honda and requires non abrasive coolant. It fucked the entire cooling system. I had to replace the rad two years ago because of that fuckup. I also replaced the AC condenser as those things rupture if you hit a leaf in my car.

So no, you're more mechanically inclined than me, but I am by no means a stranger to wrenching.

An 8 year old girl could change the oil and rotate tires. As for blowing out the heater core, I applaud you for both not "parts slapping" it and for not blowing dicks which I'm guessing the latter is much more common for you.

Too bad about those tempermental Hondas, good ole small block chevy will run on straight coolant, distilled water, or even regular water right out of the spicket.

Enjoy your ions.

Especially that shitty Fl. water you got there. Your car runs on DC.

You may have to google the implications of that.

waysa · Mon, Dec 15, 2014 12:42 am

And Wheatie, I was complimenting you. You're obviously a decent mechanic. I am just giving you the business.

Cause you're from Fl. and all.

WheatSnackBread · Mon, Dec 15, 2014 4:36 pm

Spicket is an alternate spelling. I don't give a damn what spell check says.

Not all of Fl is sulfur water, and I'm guessing you mean DC as in Direct Current? More specifically DC+ which technically is only running the ignition and ecu for the ignition timing and idle control. I thought about swapping in a full mechanical Cummins, but it's too much money, and probably too heavy.

Can't we all just get along?
