What a maroon.

 

Hmmm. Maybe he should have tried that whole 'No Cops' title thing...

 

This...... Should be archived.

 

epic thread is epilektoi

 

gotta be a troll... who works on cars, but is too stupid to not know what oil is?

 

didnt u guys kno that castrol makes freon now in 20w50

 

I lol'd.

 

haha wasnt too sure why there was oil coming out but asked someone and they said it was normail due to there being like oil in the a/c system to lube it all up also when i cut the lines very little oil came out id say like a 1/4 cup max.

anyways its all fixed up now you live and learn right

 

at first I thought this was a joke. but he did make a thread on the newbie section and someone (not pointing fingers) told him it was normal for "oil" to be in the a/c lines. which is why he thought he was doing it right.

here is the link to his other thread. don't blame the guy it was an honest mistake.

ease up man this is my first car and I clearly dont know too much bout fixin em up

 

thanks dude

 

no problem, next time take a picture and show the forum just to double check, and don't let anyone trick you into changing your headlight fluid with jdm fluid that they are selling

 

Be extra careful and always provide pics. Some people just troll.

That was a super cruel joke, if it was me, and I'd started the car and popped the motor, I'd beat some ***. Haha

 

Look at it this way too, those old lines usually leak and need to be replaced, so you just replaced them a little early and got to know your car a little better while you were at it. Keep at it and keep reading on this forum and you will do just fine at fixing your own ride.

 

thats a good way to think about it,, I changed the oil when i was messin around too soo i did get a lil more familar with her.


thanks for the feedback guys

 

420 is your birthday.... Right???!!!

 

Nah man, I didn't mean it like yelling or anything. I meant the caps part to be emphasized so that you'd pay attention to it... If you start the engine and it pumps all the oil out, you will destroy the bearings and need to rebuild the engine.

As far as the weed part, I'm all in favor of legalization... I think it's just as safe as alcohol. I might partake occasionally if I didn't get random tests at work. However, I wouldn't be smoking or drinking before I had important **** to do, like working on cars.

For future reference, pick up a copy of the factory service manual... You can download it here:
http://foxed.ca/foxed/index.php?page=rx7manual

It has a breakdown of all the individual systems that make up the car and how to take them apart... Very useful in working on these cars.

The Haynes manual is available at the local auto parts store and costs only $18. it's also pretty useful.

 

my god ive seen it all now

i guess since it is yr first car i could see things happening let this be a lession, be VERY careful and research very heavily before doing anything to the car, you can quickly make things worse before better.

 

Another lesson to take from this...
If you have to cut (or otherwise destroy) a part in order to remove it, you're DOING IT WRONG!

 

talk about doing it wrong Ive now got a small pinhole in my Rad...I'm gunna be soo much more carefull next time

 

It's usually the hardest lessons that teach us the most.

 

+1

 

You guys think a lil dab of JB weld will fix the pinhole?

 

Great thread. Fun for the whole family..

 

Lol, awesome thread!!!!
