Turbos get hot
# Had the bonnet up on the scoob this morning after coming back from a spirited drive,Next door neighbour comes on over to say what a nice motor and stick his nose under the bonnet, before i can say stop he points out the turbo asks if it gets hot and puts his hand on it .after hearing his hand sizzle like a rasher of bacon i think he got his answer

 

silly boy!

 

Ive done it before and it hurts,teach the nosey beggar to stick to mowing the lawn next time

 

lol

I like the ones where you accidentally lay the inside (nice sensitive) part of your forearm on the bugger when you're trying to get to something

Best one I ever did was grabbing a soldering iron by the hot part (I was concentrating on keeping a wire straight) reached for the soldering iron without looking (one of those slim line ones) and grasped the iron part with a nice clenched hand Nice bit of smoke

 

There's nothing worse than the smell of burning flesh

 

best (or worse) was coming home in a drunken stae switching on the grill and falling asleep at my mums house. only to wake up to a towering inferno that was the grill pan,in my drunken state i decide to throw it out the house with my bare hands

 

I did a good one, trying to put a loose wire back on the starter motor on my '84 XR3i. stuck the back of my hand to the red hot manifold ,had my then girlfriend in the car aswell, she was well impressed . took years for the scars to go.

My heatshield has a label on it saying 'HOT'

Pete

 

did you write it on there yourself pete?

 

I'm the HOTTEST thing round these parts

It's actually 'pressed' into the heatshield

Maybe it's another reason to buy UK rather than a tacky Import??

Pete

 

lmao good point mate!

uk=pretty ordinary

jdm=very very fast

jdm's are more exciting to drive because you just don't know if its gonna blow up lol

 

Yeah!!!!

I forgot that ...... tacky AND about to blow up at ANY moment!!

Why would anyone buy an Import with the lifespan of a daddy-long-legs

I'm going to join the ***** I think .... it must be SUCH fun scaring the crap out of owners

You do know that the Import ECU, from the month of May 1999, which was wired by Hu-Ping-Pong, and inspected by her husband YU-Pong-Ping, has an inherent fault ....... one of the mapping DATA LOG lines is WRONG!

It controls the self ageing timer and advances it tenfold - the engine then fails exactly on 66,987Kms .................. this must be your lucky day as I can recommend a fantastic company called LewisMapping, they can sort this problem and have a sale on at the moment - just £499 for a re-map!!

The geek also wears some Det Cans so that you really think he is doing something!!! ha ha ha ha ha

Pete

 

lmao pete your so funny

so far my engines been tip top.........its just the rest of it i got problems with!

stupid bl00dy ping-pongs

 

I bought an import for the folding mirrors !

Rob

 

oh you gotta admit pete you want some of that mate! lol

 

Can I just clear something up. What does MY mean as in MY06?

And whats JDM?

Cheers, sorry for being thick!

 

MY = Make Year

JDM = Japanese Domestic Market


and ure not thick, no matter how many ppl tell yah

 

Pete talking bollox again...

the scoob you bought was an import, the mazda you bought was an import,

if the car is not made in this country then its an import regrdless of what you care to believe.

do you think when the scoob or the mazda roll down the production line, theres a gang of fitters going , make this one crap its going to the uk, or make this one crap its going to HK,

the cars ALL have to meet the spect for homologation and road worthyness, regardless of where they end up. and to be perfectly honest, often the cars going to non UK markets are better specced and have better general protection panels than uk versions.

As i said in my earlier post stick to the radioactive stuff, unless youve got first hand knowledge of tier one suppliers and the automotive industry.

Mart

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I do, I do, I do!!

Pete

 

You DO know about the fault that is known to affect these don't you??

After about 4 years, the internal motor windings start to short circuit and the atomic structure fails - this in turn travels along the wires to the ECU and - guess what???????

YOU NEED A RE-MAP!!!!!!!

And it's your lucky day, LewisMapping have a special offer on - £499 for a re-map - complete with GEEK and DetCans!!

Tell them Pete sent you and they'll throw in some extra special washer fluid!!

Pete

 

You REALLY have issues you need to deal with Mart!!!

This is a FUN thread, you know?? F ... U ... N!!!???

Now be a good boy and pop your head back into it's perfectly formed socket in your **** and take your **** crap elsewhere ... thats a good chap

What a wally Mart is, isn't he children?????

Pete
