[GSRteg®]

Nothing wrong just lookin anything wrong with that?

[2turbo4u]

Damn look at the grease stain in the driveway! Property value down ftl!

[TheProfiteer]

Coca cola and a pressure washer works miracles man. I live in the semi-hood so value is not a real biggie, plus you gota see my back yard, anything that devalues in the front, revalues in the back.

[Humphrizzle]

suburbs arent semi-hood.

[TheProfiteer]

you'd be surprised, dont have a single American Caucasion family living in my subdivision.

And every single house is anti-police

thats pretty damn semi hoody

[Frög]

ghetto..

[TheProfiteer]

hella yeah! If stripping cars, doing swaps, and making money off it is Ghetto, shiiiiiiiet. Lemme in on how I can un-ghettonize my set up. Rather do this shit my self then pay others to do it.

[tippatone]

That what i am talking about, i am from NY and this i how we do all the time all day everyday, it kind of remind me of the good old days, can you do a swap for me?

[tippatone]

[TheProfiteer]

Im just so used to the flops.

[TheProfiteer]

[AnthonyF]

the mechanics gloves suck. you can't feel anything. the latex still gives you grip and feel of the bolts. and it takes quite a few minutes to get MOST of the dirt out of ur fingers. where gloves....it takes 3 seconds. :goodjob:

[Sol-Badguy]

Niiice.

[BKgen®]

gloves are for pussies.

[AnthonyF]

gloves are for pussies.

This type of thing makes me wonder what I will do to my kids if they are into cars and pull that crap. What will I say??? We have done that ourselves to our parents yard :D

[TheProfiteer]

[GGPIS3]

if i were you i'd be worried about your neighbors calling the EPA. you can already see the dead grass where oil has spilled into...

[bdydrpdmazda]

I have a 91 Mazda getting the top chopped and body dropped in my folks front yard but I will make sure to drain the oil before I pull the motor so It wont pour all over my parents yard, and when I work on the ground I like to throw down some cardboard when the creeper is already in use.

[bdydrpdmazda]

lol @ EPA +1

[B18c1Turboed]

ghetto!!!!

[josh green]

lol, if you were my neighbor, the only time id be pissed is if i was selling my house. Props to your mess though.

[Kamikaze]

I can't even pop the hood without my neighbors looking at me like I'm crazy. I hate subdivisions. :D

[GangstaCoupe]

I bet the neighbors love you....

[cactusEG]

u know whats good.. EGS son,

[The Yousef]

.....awesome?

[BamzRexsi90]

thats what sayin! and i bet your neighbors hate it. DO WORK!

[Sammich]

seems like you just like taking out engines huh?

[sleepys4]

Thats about how my front yard used to look. Then again i live in the boonies so nobody can see me:ninja:.

[BobbyFresco]

I don't think I'd like you very much if you lived in my subdivision......Thank God for charters and neighborhood associations...LOL

[Fr33way]

for a second there i thought you candid camerad my parents front yard. whew!
every enthusiasts front yard looks like this every once in a while. :goodjob:

Exactly. Gotta make your neighbors think you are nuts every now and then. Open downpipe and throwing flames works pretty well with that. :cheers:

[Chris Carrabba]

Dude.. let me get that SOHC you took out the hatch! I need some vtechs.. LOL

[TheProfiteer]

Those motors were going in!

Since when do people take out DOHC B18s out of Hatchs? :thinking:

Second off to the guy up top, I got a Y8 for ya, runs good, needs new valve guide seals, (smokes at high RPM)

sent you a PM

[Maniaç]

bunch of ricers.

[TheProfiteer]

bunch of ricers.

sure buddy, and what are you? A bratwurster? Maybe you own a superzied chevy burger and fries style.

[GSRteg®]

EPA would be all over this.

[GGPIS3]

EPA would be all over this.


seriously.. this guy has no idea what kind of damage he is doing to their local water supply... if the epa finds out, they will fine you thousands upon thousands. it costs thousands to clean up even a pint of oil... from the pic posted, you have dumped alot more than a pint of oil..

ever heard of draining out the oil before the swap? or using oil buckets to catch the oil? or if you're too cheap for that, then grab some old blankets, cut open some garbage bags and then lay them down... use some common sense.

[HalfBaked]

If I were you I'd be worried about the garbage man coming and taking all those cars with him...

[GGPIS3]

^^ now thats just mean... lol

[TheProfiteer]

We do drain all the oil, from the engine, from the tranny, and all coolant fluids before doing a swap. some stuff comes off and goes on the ground. There really isnt that much on there.

either you're blind, in denial, or just that stupid...

just by the look of that pic, its pretty easy to determine why the grass has died...

lololol:lmfao: :lmfao: even the pic of the engine, you can see all the oil below it.


granted....you can drain the coolant and oil...but you wont be able to get all of it out. all the lines usuaully still have shit in them...espically coolant

[.blank cd]

If you really wanna work on your cars at home, do a favor for your mom and dad and clean up the garage and work in there. thats what i did. that way you dont have fluids and stuff all over the driveway and yard and you wont have neighbors complaining about you devaluing their property. Trust me, if you have an HOA and someone even down the street is trying to sell their house and they see this, they will do something. Its called curb appeal. no one cares about the back yard. If im dropping 170k on a house, i want the rest of the houses in the neighborhood to look good too. If i drove by and seen that out there, i would take my $$$ elsewhere


you'd be surprised, dont have a single American Caucasion family living in my subdivision.

And every single house is anti-police

thats pretty damn semi hoody

and just because there are no white people in your neighborhood it automatically makes it ghetto and semi-hood? I can take you to places that real hood and semi hood. some places where you REALLY dont wanna be. -2 for that comment

[TheProfiteer]

Ok thanks alot.

and what the fuck is your fucking deal about the whole semi-hood deal?

-2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 me all day long for all I give a shit.

that was ment to be a subtley comical comment

[Kevykev]

nice work watch out fot the HOA lol


Guaranteed NOT to be established there!

The HOA will strike as soon as they sense that you're about to violate

[FlyingStroke240]

nice job

[Kevykev]

All jokes aside though, If my house was up for sale and i saw that.... WOW there's no telling man.

That's not to be done in subdv's at all Regardless of whether a HOA is in place or not. Simply an integrity issue there.

[TheProfiteer]

why im working on my cars, im am doing what I like, and I am trying to keep the mess down to a minimum.

Its not like i take my entire oil pan and dump in the creek behinde my house, its not like I drain the oil all over the driveway, plus I can get all that out
I have before.

this has been going on for a few months and the neighbors dont complain

some of them even came up and looked at what were doing and their response was either interest in one of our cars, or "good job guys"

[GGPIS3]

I am trying to keep the mess down to a minimum.



you see thats the problem... you think keeping the mess to a "minimum" is good enough. its obvious that your "minimum" killed the grass next to your driveway. do you know whats below your grass? its something called a water system. once oil or coolant or w/e is deposited into the grass, it finds its way into the water system which then pollutes the system. do you know what pollution is? do you have any conceptual idea how bad oil is for the water system? or how much money it costs the city to filter out the oil?

i really dont care if you work on your car at home... or even on your grass... but take some responsibility and make sure not even a drop of oil gets into the grass or sewers...

[TheProfiteer]

Good words, you know I have always had deep concern for environmental issues and I am not going to sit and defend my self when obviously I was at the wrong.

I did a sawp yesterday, (a z6 in a eg hatch) and I didnt spill a drop of anything. I will follow that same procedure over and over. Only thing I cannot controll is a little bit of coolant that comes out after I discount the radiator hoses.

but most of the time i use water untill the car is ready for the road so its not that bad, but when ever I know there is antifreeze in the system believe me it will always have a drain pan bellow it.

[GGPIS3]

^^ good shit.. i never knew how bad oil was for the water system until i saw a show on dateline that talked about people who work on cars at home. its one of the leading causes for pollution in our water system.
