fix (epoxy) or eliminate the pulsation dampner, that goes a long way

 

what problems can elimnating the pfd cause???

 

possibly cause some sort of injector leak or malfunction. its just a buffer between the pumps and the injectors. someone else can explain it better.

 

if you think afro-engineered is a racist statement, you should hear how some of my black friends talk!

 

YZF, even for someone as spiritual as you claim to be, that is a dumbass thing to think and/or say. I see the same things here. You know what? The people behind the wheel come straight out of this movie:

Stupidity knows no color. In this day and age, I thought you would have figure that out by know.

 

Thats ridiculous. How does this **** be tolerated on the forum? I guess its safe to say that all mexicans are lazy, and all russians only drink vodka, right? ****, if were goin on generalizations those must be correct.

 

That's cool, you're right, it isn't as bad as other comments that you could have made. But where do you draw the line? You sound intelligent enough to have other "descriptive" terms to use, don't lower yourself because others are at that level of mentality. Off soap box now.

Do not epoxy your FPD, replace the unit if it's suspect. Even if you don't think that's the issue, if it's got a lot of miles on it, replace it. It's a $100 part that you would have wished you spent while looking at your smoldering car.

 

the epoxy "fix" doesn't work, long term? I heard it did

 

Are you willing to bet your car and possibly your life on what you heard? I just replaced my FPD, there was an inch deep pool of gas sitting right on top of my engine, that could have turned out real ugly. After fixing that issue, I now drive with a fire extinguisher in my car. FPD is the one part that I would not mess with a cheap fix, you have too much to lose.

 

The difference there is that blacks use those racist terms in a self-deprecating manner as a way of poking fun and reducing the venomous aspect that it carried for them in the past. Would you go up to a group of African-Americans you didn't know and start a conversation using some of the "racist" terms they use among themselves?
Making any statement that stereotypes an ethnicity or religion is a racist statement.

 

There sure are some people on this forum full of themselves. Issuing a lecture on racial issues in a car forum is nothing but vacuous posturing. Maybe you can find somewhere else on the internet to run your "I'm even more politically correct than you are" contest.

 

It has nothing to do with that at all. From someone so educated, that was not a well thought out statement.

First off, I am black. Do I like the phase "afro engineered" when saying it was done poorly? No. While the use of "afro" verses other terms, which could have been used, is more "PC"; the meaning is still the same. If you cannot see that, then you aren't as intelligent as some of your posts lead us to believe. Then again, maybe you think all Muslims are terrorist as well.

The idea/goal of this forum is to make it welcome to all walks of life who share a common interest. And for them to be able to talk about their interest without being insulted or frowned on because of any bigotry.

 

I've said it before:
Your very first mod should be a fire extinguisher.

 

yep

can someone post the link again on where to buy a quality fire extinguisher?

thanks

 

You can get them at most local autoshops. Just make sure to get one specifically for automotives. IIRC, the chemicals used are less damaging for the automotive ones verses a simple house model and most are rated for fluid and electrical fires.

 

here is what I was looking for http://www.h3r.com/products/home_vehicle.htm

I thought mahjik the link-master would have it posted by now

 

Any of those would be fine. They are B & C rated (fluids and electrical). The number is the power, so the higher the number the more power it has.

 

I see white people with afro's all the time. Seems like there is alot of generalization going on if its gonna get that P.C.

 

Sorry guys, but I tend to agree with this statement of the growing over sensitivity of people these days. Afterall if what Mahjik says is true;

then wouldn't gay people be offended by these smileys?



And women by these?



If that's not deemed offensive then where do we draw the line?

I'm not saying that the thread starter should have posted that comment or that we should eliminate those smileys, but I think everyone needs to regain their sense of humor and understanding (up to a limit of course).

 

sure thing *****

 

u know whats sadder than racism? fighting over a little term that could have been ignored. its a CAR FORUM not a debate forum, help the kid with his engine and get on, if u wanna argue about racism then do it privatly, mahjik if ur offended why didnt u just edit it

 

Might be, but you don't see me using those either.

 

Actually, the original poster already apologized for the statement. Since he already apologized, I see no reason to edit his orignal statement (besides, I'm not really a moderator anymore).

I do wish that people could "walk a mile in someone else's shoes". It really would offer them a different perspective on what life is like outside their small world.

 

You wouldn't know one way or another because this is a CAR FORUM.

Hence:
applies to your statement quite nicely. Thanks for making me look so prophetic.

Stick to cars, your better at it.

 

Ok, just because you disagree, it vacuous. Thanks for the adult conversation.

Car forum or not, it has rules. You don't have to like them, but while you are here you do have to abide by them.
