ok, i guessed wrong..

so they posted his car as the crappiest one there lol "from corvettes to an old honda"

i sorta saw comedy in it, mostly because he got banned again...

i received this in an email. its an abc news story from may, that talks about how tire aging can cause tread splitting and possibly death.

Your right iam not a cop.And the bug is not mine.It belongs to a guy who lives out in long beach its for sale on the samba.Its funny how when i posted that i owen a 9 sec bug that everybodies tone towards me change cause of the cars i own.That is BS you should not be judged by the car you drive or Mod just to join a site.But thats ok it shows the true colors of some of you.And if you are like that on here then chances are your like that in person.And i do not wish to be part of that.But thanks for the intertament last night.

nice story... but not the truth... you got caught in a lie. Remember this, you are trying to join CR, So coming in here and bullshitting wont get you anywhere, from what i read(i only made it to the post i quoted) People did change their attitude towards you when you brought up the 9 sec bug. they called you out immediately on the fact that if you had something of that scale, you would have posted it in your first post. Seems like now you're fighting an uphill battle whilst pissing into the wind. In other words the only one who's day turns out worse is yours... everyone else is just enjoying watching you act stupid.

:gtfo:

you can bend it by hand, don't make any sharp turns with it like tight 90's or 180's. get some extra since its cheep and play with it before you make your line. bend a little bit then move down the line 1/2 to an 1 and bend a little more untill you get the feel of what the line will do. i bend all my brake line by hand and never have a problem but if its real tight ( like real real tight 90's) then i may use a bender or a socket. just be sure not to kink the line, then your fucked and have to start all over.

ok, i should have said what he just said, but i was just being lazy and telling you to use the bender...

i have this posted on another forum and they told me to do it by hand...is that wrong? im confused as hell lol

well with a hand held bender, but not bare hands, that runs the risk of cracking/ damaging the line while bending...

ok cool...i had never heard that either and i was really skeptical....it didnt seem right at all that i would need to replace the entire system....thanks for comin in AJ and giving some solid advice... the brake line thats broke is the main one that runs from front to back, thats what her dad told me atleast...seems like it would be a bitch to do....do i just buy brake line and just bend it and snake it through or what?

 

**also, if anyone here wants to give me a quote on this then im open, but our family mechanic said 300 to fix it and im not paying that for a brake line lol...probably end up doing it myself

yeah you'll need a pipe bender, or sleeve... don't try to bend it by hand. also, what i mentioned was a precautionary statement, which you people dont seem to understand, i never once said it was going to have to be replaced, i only said to check.

best thing to do is replace the line that has the hole in it. then bleed it.

you could do a compression fitting if your in a jam as long as its a steel compression fitting and its only a temp fix. like untill the weekend when you can do it right.

 

 

 

 

then he would be the first person i ever heard of to lose a finger to brake fluid.

 

 

 

 

and your the only one i have ever heard that said you have to replace the entire brake system because of something that every car's brake fluid does. i would like to see you tell a customer that there brake line repair will cost them $2000, that would go over well. brake fluid causes rubber to swell not the water.

All i said was that he should pop the cap to the reservoir off and check the bellows, and see if it was contaminated, and to not ignore it if it were to be contaminated... i never said water causes it to do anything but have a spongy feel to the pedal... i said Contaminated Fluid would cause the bellows to swell and indicate that it was contaminated, and that he would have to replace the system, i never just said oh, yeah, you have to replace the whole system when you bleed your brakes.....

yes but the brake one was the easiest test of them all. it will just leak once he gets a line cracked open, not spray out causing death and dismemberment.

if he bleeds the brakes, you're right, its not going to hurt anyone, how ever, if he needed to replace the line that feeds from the abs system, and it was a model that you had to properly release the pressure from the abs module, then i would hate to have not told him to do so, and have him loose a finger. now i said this mostly because i have no idea as to whether a '93 cougar has a really high pressure abs module, but at the time all i knew is that it was from '93, he had not even said as to what kind of car it was. i had also mentioned checking for contamination, idk if you missed that or whatever, but if he had to replace a contaminated brake system, he would also replace the abs module, and that is why i mentioned to check before he just starts ripping components out to replace them.

Also, he put in the top post as to what kind of car it is, but not before i replied about it.

lol your new at cars arn't you?

 

there is no pressure unless your foot is on the pedal and brake line pressure isn't enough to cut your fingers off. hell i put my finger over the bleed port to bleed the brakes and still have all mine.

lol, no. im ase certified in brakes. and some systems do remain pressurized. :asshole:

edit: i am not talking about bleeding brakes, i am warning about replacing the lines at the abs unit.
