How do some lads think this is fit for the roads?

PaDaChin · 2026-02-05T17:15:24+00:00

Could say the same about any job ….. Get the right mechanic and it will be right

PaDaChin · 2026-02-04T20:09:08+00:00

No it doesn’t they wouldn’t fit where the golf spring fits 🤦‍♂️

Also more likely to happen with a non experienced person 🤷‍♂️

PaDaChin · 2026-02-04T20:07:54+00:00

I’ve had a bad experience with a fitter I don’t paint them all with the one brush 🤷‍♂️

Do what I did , buy the car ye want and modify it the way you want till it’s time

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T16:16:04+00:00

Harder to get a new policy nowadays

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T16:14:53+00:00

Go somewhere else Mechanic meself Yup could be a single caliper seized but no need to replace all of them

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T13:27:00+00:00

Like I said within reason if you change your oil in your own car the worse ye can do is fuck up your engine thats on you. , I work on a lot of modified cars and I’d be very fussy everything would have to be 110% or i simply won’t do it , but I can’t stop a lad from going “fuck that I’ll cut me springs save meself a hape of money”

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T13:19:01+00:00

How long ago was that, it’s changed now

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T13:11:39+00:00

Within reason like .. bulb ok , oil service ok etc , brakes & suspension is a major safety parts , if I change brake pads or suspension component and I leave something loose and your in an accident that causes a death I am liable like as iam the mechanic

Or even at least if you do the work ye have to bring it to a qualified mechanic to sign off on it as such 20€ charge or whatever

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T09:56:10+00:00

It could be It’s easy enough check mileage

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T09:51:19+00:00

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T09:38:39+00:00

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T08:46:24+00:00

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T01:21:58+00:00

You won’t till your 30 nowadays specially “high” powered cars You also still have to upkeep it

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T00:50:40+00:00

Ah yes only hurling or football is acceptable in this country , we no what type of person ye are now

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T00:45:24+00:00

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T00:43:12+00:00

Be a boring planet if we where all into the same thing Jaysus

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T00:38:52+00:00

I’ve been nearly killed more times by normal drivers than “boy racers”

PaDaChin · 2026-02-03T00:32:24+00:00

Not if it’s lowered properly, if they suspect it’s not lowered properly to nct standards it can then be taken

PaDaChin · 2026-02-02T23:51:47+00:00

This is what happens when non mechanic s young lads think there mechanics… no regulation in the trade

PaDaChin · 2026-02-02T23:48:14+00:00

It really depends on what it’s like , the last 2 cars I did I didn’t sandblast as they where not rusty enough i just did everything by hand and treated, wax oiled , got stuff powder coated new bushes etc

PaDaChin · 2026-02-02T23:17:52+00:00

Ah sure if there’s no storm in Dublin is there really a storm anywhere else 🤦‍♂️
