Why the hell do these shitty junkyard fuckers insist on cutting the fucking main harness when they pull engines and pieces?! Thats a like a 300$+ part! I saw a fuel rail for sale on ebay and the goddam sensor wires were cut! just UNPLUG IT!!! same thing with just about all the shit on ebay. harness all cut to shit. fucking why!?

 

oh yeah, and some ricers in a black civic DX with a fucking huge wing and about -6* camber tried to antagonize me on my way home. Piece of crap had fake IS300 tail lights and two rear doors that didnt shut flush. Front end was bastardized to resemble an IS300 also. looked like crap. So Im next to them in traffic and kind of eggin them on when these ricers fly by and wave a giant wad of money at me. But just like the lights, you could tell it was fake from a mile away. Besides, if they really did have money, you think they would have addressed the much needed body work on that shit wagon.

I hear ya about those damn ricers.  They other night I was coming home and a beat ass civic pulled up next to me and started reving his engine.  So I looked over and tried to tell him he didn't want to race me, well he kept reving so when the light turned green I let him have it.  I went up to about 70mph ( speed limit on the road was 35 ) then slowed down.  A few seconds later he went flying by.

The worst part of the story is that he was waitting for me at the next light, what the hell did he think I got lucky, couldn't he hear the bov.  So once again I watched his primer grey civic fade into my rear view mirror.

Have you guys ever noticed the bright bulbs they have working in salvage yards?

Don't think they really know what they have!  I do, and boy, ask gr33nlemon how hard it was to find one of the alternator harnesses!  bone heads I tell ya!

Dan and I walk through Salvage yards and just see $$$ signs everywhere we turn our heads.  old cars due to be crushed as junk with decent chrome pieces that will sell for a fortune on e-bay to a collector/restorer!

it kills me.

Rice = CRAP

the only thing I hate more than the salvage owners destroying the harness is the A-holes that go to the pick and pulls and destroy an entire car just to get the cylander head. By the time they get done getting the head, the car is cut in half down the middle and the rest of the engine is trashed.

 

dammit I cant wait to get my new motor and turbo.
