Re: To carb or not to carb....

The computer you use to diagnose cars costs more than that.

Re: To carb or not to carb....

dudes i've just spent a couple of hours trying to teach you a little about auto mechanics but you are too bull headed to forget the **** u've read on the internet and learned from people who know nothing, so I guess you guys are hopeless. maybe one day you will have the chance to learn the facts and realize the myths you always thought were true are wrong.

Dude... I would take F.I. over a carb. any day. All you need is a lap top or a scanner to find a problem with a F.I. set-up. F.I. FTW!

Re: To carb or not to carb....

you guys didn't understand me on the brakes issue. try this, take 2 cars without brake boosters, one has drum/drum and the other has disc/disc. u push the brake pedel the drum/drum will strop fairly easy. the disc /disc will feel like it has a very hard pedal and you'll have to use both feet and the car will be hard to stop. if you dont believe me go out and try it. disc brakes were designed to reduce brake fade and have straight line stopping not more stopping power. people think they have more stopping power because they have cars with strong brake boosters that do all the work for them and racers use them, but they use them because the tremendus amount of heat that happens in racing.
