What to do....

[92-cb7]

I'm feeling a little lost as it is...... For starters my car is up and down, Today I replaced a drive shaft (passenger side) and I was also supposed to replaces a rad hose, but my mechanic was like its a bitch and I'm better off swapping my engine which has me pondering my next move... Already I've spent so much on my car and im not sure when my expense will be done leaving me with the car I had envisioned myself having. After all the money I've put towards my car I'm only still at a stock stance....The most ive really achieved is getting new wires(accel) , strut bar (f/r) and an intake (reative) I had planed to do over my suspension and get my body work done, but I'm not sure any more I'm quite confused as to what should be done at this point. I'm contemplating a new car, but either way i know im going to want to do mods to that as well, so I'm not sure..

**Sorry if this seems to be all over the place, I wrote my thoughts as they came to mind. I hope this makes sense**

First off, swapping either radiator hose isn't a problem at all. Why did your mechanic say it'd be easier to swap an engine? sorry, but that's just retarded. If he thinks its easier to swap an engine than a radiator hose, he doesn't need to be in that line of work. I think he's just trying to soak you for a ton of money

Its not the uppper or lower rad hose though.. which ever one it is its was said its hard to get to. As for the swap ,my intention was to get one done when my f22 was ready to conk out.

All of the radiator hoses are fairly easy to get too..

Your mechanic is retarted.

Really makes me wonder now..... but im guessing my best bet would be to get at it myself then..?

[Bullhorn7]

Go for it go get the hose and hose clamps... Thats all you need.

Thanks for the info/advice I'll be sure to put it to good use

get a new mechanic. I think your mechanic is money hungry.
or do your own work


lower rad hose is a bitch. Damn Crossmember is in the way

Some things I do myself, but not all. I guess some people feel japs require a swap, but I feel if the engine is good run it untill its done.

Go get a manual for your car from your local auto parts store. With that and a basic tool set you can do most everything yourself. It's not as hard as some people make it out to be.

Thank you, I'll be sure to start trying things on my own.

that's how i felt when i joined this site, and now i wouldn't dare let someone else work on it. everyone on here helps a ton and there's more info than a car manual IMO

i agree, run it till you can afford or need to swap it.
