Just thought I would congratulate Joey (fc735) on his recertification of his L1 Master Tech and his newly aquired Truck Tech.












Now bring this man your vehicle!

 

With a scanner and a nice printer I to could be a L1 master technician so I don't know what the big deal is

Is there a hand on practical test? If so, is there a part where you have to show your mastery with the use of a sledgehammer?


but all joking aside congrats I can now continue to brag that my car is only touched by a L1 master technician.

 

why must barry make posts right after a 10-22'd flue fire?


danka mang.

and barry-your whip rides on 22.2's too

*edit* i felt pretty damn good on my scores....

A4 Suspension and steering- 20 out of 20
A5 Brakes- 24 out of 25
A6 Electrical- i fucked up hardcore cause i forgot somethings bout generators 22 out of 25

T4 Truck hydraulic and air brakes- i havent touched an airbrake system in five years, forgot most of the valves, and somehow managed to pull a 38 out of 50 out of my ass

T5 Truck suspension and steering- 43 out of 50.

now on with my EVT certs (emergency vehicle technician) so i can legally do all work on the emergency vehicles i work on now. and get mo monies

contrary to popular belief, you can make money working on cars. my high school math and architecture teachers think i fucked up by not continuing with my ME major....but i love what i do, and i can wake up most mornings and look forward to going to work. i may not make as much as i would have being an engineer....but i love what i do, and i have this thing called pride.


not to mention a mechanic fixes engineers fuckups

 

I should make this my signiture. It's the same way I feel about fixing computers and networks. Except "not to mention, I fix peoples fuckups " heh

Congrats man.

 

*Cough*, bean counting business major's fuckups If engineers had their way we'd all drive enzo's

 

haha, whre the fuck were you?


oh yea, have andrew tell you about us passing an ambulance in Engine 1...in a curve...on a bridge.... some funny shit.


that seems to be a talent of yours..in...and out of your ass

heh

 

Hey Joey,

You dont happen to work on rotaries do you?

I've been looking for a mechanic down here (Radford) that I trust with things that I cant do myself. Since most mechanics I've met down here dont know jack about rotaries or possibly cars in general I would like someone who I know, knows things. And I've only read good things about you from other members.

Its an 84 RX-7 GSL-SE (1.3 FI) with a rebuilt streetported motor, exhaust ect ect

-Greg

 

well....i have worked on many of them, but i havent done much internal work. car end of it is fine, and most driveability issues are no problem, but if you want internal work done on them, i send them out to PA.

 

Thats works just fine, the motor was just rebuilt by a gentleman down in TN, so if anything internal fails thats where the car is going back to. I was just refering to the general mechanics and troubleshooting side of it.

If you would PM me the location and number of your shop I would be most appreciative. I do not need work done now but I would like to have it for future reference.

Thanks
Greg

 

joey, i'd also like the number to your shop. about how far away from blacksburg is it? my car has some major issues and is in dire need of a good mechanic... how busy you think youre going to be in early january? thanks
