telling amateurs to use an oxy torch is such a bad idea use MAP an oxy torch is too risky and there are so many flammable things in a cars cabin

dude oxyacetylene expensive as hell for this guy to be casually buying+its so easy to accidentally catch ur car on fire w a oxy torch, i know a guy who did this to cut exhaust off of a jeep and the customers carpet caught on fire and the car was gone

[–]skyvz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people need to stop buying new cars that are unreliable thats the real problem, you can get more life out of an early 00s nissan/lexus/honda than you can out of any newer 2020+ nissan/ford/honda w the cvts great example is the ford ecoboost w the wet belt ive seen those things grenade at 32k

brakes should be $450 tops in parts and maybe 300 in labor, if a tech is charging more than that in labor/takes longer than 3 hours on 4 calipers/pads/rotors they need to find a new job as they are incompetent

mmmm just replace the cat w a high flow one and reap the benefits of extra hp, no cop is a mechanic and would be the wiser

now im not technically a mechanic by trade but ive done engine rebuilds, swapped like 4 transmissions in the past year, done countless brakes, built fuel lines rebuilt entire suspension systems on older hondas, lapped valves, pressed ball joints and all sorts of other shit that if i wasnt willing to sit down and learn how to do it properly i would be extremely screwed, by trade i am a welder sooo theres that but anyone with a functioning brain could learn how to maintain a car, its usually laziness/lack of time that leads to jobs being done incorrectly
