Pringles_U12 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 jsut a note, would you like to learn about carby or efi, basisicly if your look at becoming a machanic you'll most proberly deal more with efi, due to it being the in think, though carbys rock so yeah, mmmmm sidedraft webbers, one throat per cylender.... lalala mmmmmm Quote
irokin Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 carby is nice to learn on because its a simple system.... and you can do things to it. EFIs more daunting to get into...and more expensive... Quote
Pringles_U12 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 yeah carby the best to learn on, but unforenly due to everyhting being efi these days, you may have to learn alot of efi to be a machanic with efi its more daunting but i donno bout more exspensive, well actually yes it is but, for example hardware + software to tune ecu 180bucks and theres all your tunnig to a degre down... though unleash the carby and yeah Quote
irokin Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 I don't think hes planning to be a mechanic as such, just to learn some more about cars... I meant cost as in your going to have to buy a more recent car which is gonna cost more (like a twinky AE82 or 92) Quote
trdcamrypride Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Posted September 16, 2004 I'm looking at becoming a mechanic but for now i want a carby engine to work on but my parents are up tight about me leaving it in there yard as they say there is no room grrrr i hate it so much. cheers guys trent :P Quote

Teddy Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 lol some times i think the elders don't like my old car collection, let alone a semi permanent piece of Toyota history sitting on bricks on dads back lawn :P Quote
irokin Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 should make a corolla tribute...put one up on top of a tall poll.... Quote
