How much do I hate imports

I'm in the middle of replacing an engine in a Toyota 4rundover for a freind and man it sure makes a person appreciate the old iron. These things are a piece of

Everything has at least a hold down and a backup for that hold down. A 2 day motor swap has turned into a 4 day motor swap. What a pain in the keester!!!

I sure love my Power Wagon. Buy American!

American and DAMN PROUD OF IT

i can feel your pain man. i recently did an over haul on a mitsupussy montero. between the snake bed of vaccume lines, and all the extra electrical crap, i thought i never was gonna get that damn thing back togather. i can truly appreciate the only thing hanging off my engine is an alternator.

lets not forget the structual side of it. i hit a minivan with my dads 77 fury (like the cops on dukes of hazard) i totaled the minivan and i drove the fury home, replaced a headlight and drove it untill i could replace the front fiberglass peice.

some people i work with bought a mitsubeshit, not only did they pay way to much, the next week the tranny went out. once they got that fixed the engine started knocking, now it needs breaks and the radiators leaking. they get mad at me because i WONT touch it. they have offerd to pay me good money, and i wont touch it.

I was born in and raised near Gary, Indiana where when I was a kid was the world's largest steel mill with 27,000+ jobs now there are 5,500. In the area there have been 5 complete steel mills either close down, merge or get bought out because of all the no good

ricers and all the other foreign

ssholes over 100,000 jobs in the steel mills alone lost here since 1980.
I just 3 years ago made more than I did in 1979(my last year in the mill) but had to work 500 hours of overtime to do it.
When I see a ricer going down the road I want to give them a steelworker salute and like other forum members I very often do that!(the one finger kind!)

kinda funny story,every year at he rod run/ the end of the world run. there are always those lil *#%^$&@!# down there trying to be cool and fit in. finaly last year i got tired of seeing them on the cruise night.im talking bumper to bumper fun for hours, literally thousands of people on the sidewalks. i just so happened to pick the perfect time right when 2 or 3 ricers past i screamed as loud as i could "rice burners f

ckin suck". now the funny thing is everybody who heard it started turning on them and making fun of them. maybe that'll teach them not to bring that *#%^ to a hot rod show.

every one down there were diggin the dodges too. hehehe good times

I have always wanted to make a device that I could glue to the side of a honda,toyota, whatever piece of import crap exists, and have it send 200,000 volts of onboard computer death through the body.

Now, seriously, a device does exist. However, you would have to be careful with it.

It's called plasma voltage. Regular voltage passes through filters, capacitors and resistors normally. Plasma voltage blows right through it, "bypassing" it if you will. It does not follow the path set down on the board, it ignores the fact there is a resistor there to step down the different voltages.

The problem with plasma voltage is that you have to contain it. If i used a plasma device at say a walmart parking lot, anything in the vicinity (you have power factors to keep in mind, you could probably build something to kill off all the electronics in a 30 foot radius, a 2 mile radius, or a 500 mile radius) This means cell phones, other peoples cars, computers, etc etc would be dead also. Frankly, a walmart can be knocked out dead, and I would dance on the stores grave!

you would have to "shield" the device, so it only kills the car that is pissing you off, unless it is at a import show, then build it so it kills all the cars in say a 10 foot radius, then move to the next 10 foot radius!

it would be a great way to kill these damn cars, which is not helping to end our dependence on oil, it is adding more to it with all the damn plastic panels on them.

I would hazard to guess the amount of oil wrapped up in a toyota corolla is enough gas/oil to drive our trucks for 10 years probably? Multiply that times XXXX amount of toyota corollas on the road.

roofers nails propped up in such a way when they pull out in their .02 liter of fury, they embed into it. prop up 4-5 for each tire, then walk.

you could also see about blasting caps also.... have it where it takes 5-10 turns of the wheels to blow....

if they have NAWSSSS tanks in the car, fiddle with the settings. If they have the valve turned say halfway to deliver a proper mixture, open the valve all the way, or shut it off completely.

carry wire cutters. cut what you see, not caring what it is for. Bonus points for Window Rattlin' Earth Shakin' stereo systems!

study places dead fish, cow turds, rotting steaks, and other stuff can be dropped. make it difficult to find, hopefully it sits for months and maggots and other fun stuff starts growing

Paint stripper.... (dilute it enough to still have some power, but so it could work in a spray bottle)

Muratic Acid... (trashes expensive clear coats) Wear gloves!

a little aircraft stripper does the job. make a scratch in the paint, pour some on and walk away. As long as no one tries to wipe it off, it'll keep eating away at the paint untill it rains.

while I think about it, they should just ban/shutdown all the ricer boy shows. Every show here in las vegas always ends up in gang feuds/fights/stabbings/shootings. They get their own trash show to parade their worthless scrap plastic, and they still think they can come to a car show and show off their filth. Shame on the event promoters also for allowing that garbage in. If I ran the shows, no ricer-boy trash would be allowed in!

meangreen · Post by **meangreen** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 1:35 am

at the rod run,they dont let them into the show at all. they just show up and try to fitt in. dumb f

uckers. i just caught two fuckin old friends of mine trying to egg my truck(i think)when i turned on the porch light, they and scattered. so i got a long night waitin for those *#%^$&@!# to come back.then its on.

Do what I do. When I park the truck, I hit a hidden diverter switch in the fender well. Ricers always park next to the truck (it's big enough to see in a parking lot, their junk isn't). The switch shorts the coil to the body. The next time I see the car in question, it's nowhere near real steel.

Local real steel shows don't let in the ricers. Even as spectators. They show up, they pay their money, they run their yaps, they get tossed out. Steps one and two have since been omitted. Some showed up to a local 50s themed bar's car show. Bad idea. Did you know that 440 six pack exhaust pulses will knock off the plastic crap on a ricer?

And here are the corrected import names: Toyota-toyletta, Datsun-Snotson, Nissan-pisson, Mazda-Ford,
Geo-Chevrolet, Mitsubishi-shitsubitchi, Suzuki-sopukey, BMW-you're double screwed, Can't remember the other ones offhand...who cares? All look alike anyway.

what do you mean shorts the coil??? im confused please explain

DB69 · Post by **DB69** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:30 pm

another worthwhile activity is yell at em that they have a rice burner with a fart tube on it and they should go and pick rice with it. they get pissed when you call the jap crap they drive that. I like doing that and give them a special wave- the one fingered kind!

I also like cudajimmy's signature move over punk @#% ricers thats one we should put on our trucks!

Shorting the coil was a very early form of anti-theft. The coil is wired to the body through a toggle switch. When the switch is on, anyone who touches the truck is supposed to get zapped by the coil. Doesn't always work, but can be entertaining when it does. The ricer electronics close the circuit to ground. Radio and speakers get fried. And they can't figure out why.

hmmmmmmmmmm. i like the sound of that.they generally keep their distance from me

great tip, and even when it rains (if it is a rare one with sheet metal, not sheet plastic, presto!!! Rust!!!!

)

remember everyone, imports just - don,t do it, don,t buy, don,t repair, don,t drive anyones import crap , it will rust away by itself soon enough. buy american and make it mopar.

How is the electricity going to flow through plastic?

To add in my loathe for rice and people who can't park right, I surrounded a powered rollerskate that had taken up three spots with shopping carts in the local Wal-Mart parking lot. Not as good as the coil, but he was still pretty upset.
